They have 2 types of karting you can do with friends, family, etc.. Had fun. Like that they give you your scores and prices are affordable.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. You need to register all racers which was very simple and quick. The instructor explained the instructions thoroughly and made sure we were comfortable with our helmet and neck brace before we went out. The pit guys were quick and helpful getting everyone in their karts quickly and safely. We had alot of fun and will be going back. I highly recommend this place for beginners and experts.

Its okay. They need to update their website. No individual lap times like every other similar tracks. Pretty cool to be outside. Track is very bumpy but kind of makes it more challenging.

First time here and had a blast. I brought my son with me and we took fastest of the day after he beat me a few times I ended up with a fast kart on our last race and took the fastest of the day back. We enjoyed the hospitality of the employees also which they answered any of our questions. Excited for our next visit soon. Thank you for the fun

Wasted my time. Spent 30 min putting in my information and waiting in line for racing. We paid and was told AFTER it would be a 1hr40min wait. I had plans around this, i wish they would’ve said that before we paid. Had to get a refund & went to the track in Midlo. Was in within 10min..... this place isn’t worth it

Lots of fun with lazer tag, go karts or the arcade games. Not cheap but lots of fun. They have single and double karts. So it was nice to be able to have my 6 and 12 yr happy at the same time.

First timers my kids had lots of fun kept them busy for bout an hour or so. They really had a blast on the go karts and my bf is a drag racer and he was impressed how fast the go kart goes/ that he could fit in seat cause hes tall and long legs. The prices is doable and nachos is the bomb. And its better than chuck e cheese.

We went for my husbands birthday in August. It is outside so we got lucky it was a cooler day. Hubs had a blast but my 10 year old had a hard time doing the kart on his own. The staff had to be annoyed (he crashed through the barriers twice and started going the wrong way on one ocassion.. stopped the race for him each time) but they didnt show it at all. After that first race they were awesome about getting us in a tandem kart and making sure we still raced together with our group. It was a hassel for them but they were nothing but nice about it. After a bumpy start fun was had by all. Highly recommend but maybe for kids over 12 or so unless you dont mind going a bit slower in a tandem kart.

G-Force’s new outdoor track is pure awesomeness! Hitting the end of the long straight is a rush and will leave you wanting more! Thanks for the long track guys and for great daily communication on rain/ specials. Keep up the great work!!

Review №21

The sales people here are very cool but they probably repeat the same things to everyone so they spoke rather fast about the rules. The food bar was awesome and there is a large arcade room on the other side. Due to rushing to get on the track I wasn’t able to take many pictures of the track but this place is very fun I heard this location will be closing soon and they are moving to the Richmond Raceway. I hope they open up an outdoor track soon. I think it would also be cool if they added a mini golf action too.

Excellent place to let off a little stress and a perfect place to have your kids Birthday party. They have laser tag, bounce area and bow and arrow tag. They have a concession stand for snacking. Buy the combo package deal for the different games. You can save a lot. Also, you can become member for more savings. Please like if this helps you out.

Review №24

I had been wanting to get my kids there since I discovered that they were old enough to ride as a passenger in a two seat kart. It was perfect. Both kids loved their experiences, and they want to go back. So now I need to work on having enough money for another future trip. It was as fun as I remember it being when I went over 10 years ago.

My now 11 year-old son and his group of girl and boy friends of all ages had a great time at G-Force Karts for his birthday party! We were greeted by very friendly staff who led us to our party room after ensuring all of the kids had waivers filled out. We did the new NERF wars which were a huge hit! The kids had a blast hiding and dodging and strategizing together in the large arena. Then we headed back to the party room, where the staff brought us delicious hot, housemade pizza and gave every kid a cup to go choose their drink. Next, they headed to the 1/4 mile go-kart track for some fast-paced racing fun. They raced in two heats of 8, so it was fun for one group to race while the other group watched their friends and cheered them on. After that, it was on to the game room for a few arcade games, then into the laser tag arena! Needless to say, the kids were exhausted by the end! The G-Force staff was amazing and did a great job of keeping the party flowing. Thanks, G-Force!

I took a small group of guys here for a bachelor party. From the pre-planning, to the racing, to the customer service after my visit, I was very impressed. Kim helped me organize a great couple of races with my buddies, made payment and registration simple, and was flexible with my group. The staff on hand was more than happy to accommodate us a little early to make sure we were able to stick to our tight timeline. We had a fantastic time, and I have no doubt that everything else they offer is also amazing. My only suggestion is to make the registration more mobile friendly, if possible.

My family decided to stop by and just check out what this place was based on an add out by the road. We stepped in and immediately after we looked around, we changed our afternoon plans and decided to make an afternoon here. We did a little of everything and had a blast. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable about every activity. I was impressed with the kart team and how well they were run and the safety measures they took. The inside staff was amazing. Even though they run many stations at once, they were always available to help and very polite. I am already planning to have a birthday party here... Well worth the money for that much fun!

Review №38

Today was my first day me, and my family came to this arcade. My experience here was not as fun. The guy who’s in charge of the g kart racing that had on a black shirt was very rude. You can hear it in the tone of his voice that he was obviously irritated or disturbed. You can also tell by the look on his face that he didn’t want to be bothered. My family did nothing at all but try, and come to have a good time. We spent a lot of money at this arcade, and this is the type of customer service that we had to deal with? It’s not fair to me at all I️ was very disappointed. It felt as if he was just ready to go home and that we were his last customers of the night, and he wanted to get rid of us. Someone should speak with him about it, because I’m very devastated he had an attitude and took it out on us. Example being nasty about the helmet and the neck brace he made us take it off and put it back on, because he said we didn’t do it correctly it was the tone in his voice like it was anger. Also he was talking to the other guy that works inside about one of my relatives, because she accidentally made a mistake and it was her first time.

Place is awesome and so is the staff. They try to make sure you can improve on what you are doing and get you to do better.

Review №40

Karts were great, staff was not very helpful with accommodating our large group (the young blonde lady in a rush to get out of work in particular). When customers are going to drop a few hundred bucks at your business, you should treat them like guests, not burdens. The karting was fast and fun, and I think its worth stopping by.

Review №41

Always an amazing experience at G-Force! Ive only ever done the go-karts and it is safe to say it is unlike any go-karting experience you can find in the area. It can be a bit on the pricey side, but there are always great deals you can find to help get more races for cheaper.

Review №46

I took my son for his birthday and paid for him and I to play nerf and ride go carts... well we waited for the guy to get us for the nerf game and found out the game started without us. Out of the 30 minute game we paid for we probably got 15 minutes of game play. Also they offer deals on bundling 2 or more activities.. well for some reason I was charged for both separately

Review №47

Had a great time doing the go karts, 8 mins goes by fast hope the change that! I only give it 4 stars because I was charge two different prices when I paid for the exact same thing, so I feel like the first girl added a tip. other than that great place to have some fun!!

Laser tag gun was off by 2ft at 12ft away, I didnt realize until 2:30 left on the clock so my immaculate accuracy was only 18%. HOWEVER I still had a lot of fun and look fwd to next time (Ill check my gun first).

Review №50

I thought the track was a lot of fun! The guys on the track were really friendly and helped me adjust my seat over and over which each new ride and were super friendly and happy to help. However, we were really disappointed with the customer service other than that. We first walk in and there are two girls collecting payments and handing out tickets. It took about 15-20 minutes to get myself and my 6 friends through. My husband and his two friends bought the unlimited races until 9pm rate. So after wasting 20 of our minutes by just trying to get us out there- we all got 3 rounds. The 3 who bought the unlimited rate went back in at 8:52 asking for one last ticket and the lady up front says Its only unlimited if youre finished BY 9. She failed to mention that while we were paying extra money to get the unlimited rounds. Not to mention, we brought THREE new people to G-Force tonight, all of whom spent $60+ each. I think he should have been more upfront about the specifics of the so called unlimited deal, and realized we brought 3 new people to race tonight. Just a little disappointed by the service.

Track is cool, cars go about 40mph, but its gas and the fumes linger on the track, but they do a decent job with ventilation. Owner is a pretty cool character, had a blast. Has some Nerf archery and other games I never played before

Review №55

We were in town for a family vacation and because of all the rain we had to keep our activities indoor. This was a perfect stop for our group of 12 with ages ranging from 2 to 60. Everyone had something to do no matter the age. The staff was super friendly and the owner/manager gave us a rundown of things to do and where everything was located. It did get busy quick, but it didn’t stop our fun. I must say the 10 minute laser tag wore the whole group out, so much that they weren’t up for the Nerf game.We will definitely return if we ever visit Virginia again.

Review №56

So fun. There is an arcade, go kart track, nerk gun park, food all in one place. Its fun for the whole family. And they had a virtual reality center witch was pretty awesome. There go karts had a good speed to them. The staff was nice and very helpful. There prices where pretty cheap compared to other place i have been. I will definitely be going there again and again.

I heard about G-Force Karts from a friend of mine so I went with my uncle and nephew. We had a blast. The karts were the real deal. Lazer tag is the best around and Nerf is great for the whole family. Next time I will try the Virtual Reality. They were very helpful and very professional. I would recommend.

The race and the cars are nice, regardless, they are highly disorganized and you can notice no one is in charge. They seriously need a manager or someone in charge that shows them how to treat people.

Review №61

Extremely unorganized. We had a party of 4. We paid and were told our 3 races would start in 3 hours and would have to skip a race in between. Fine - I get it youre busy. So we wait the 3 hours, come back, and get our first race in. They then inform us ot will be another four hours until our second race. It then took 45 minutes for them to refun the card we paid with.

Ive been to G-Force twice now and Ive had a great time for both experiences. Everyone is very nice and knowledgeable plus they take safety very seriously.

Toxic Waste pizza that leaves literal grease puddles, lazer tag with headbands that have 15 collective years of child sweat and boogers, an arcade with three broken machines, moldy bathrooms, and an interesting smell throughout the whole place.Service was very friendly, employees were nice and great with kids.10/10 would punch my friends in the face with measles-riddled laser gun again.

Fun times!! First-timer here... a little slow going at first, until I got the hang of it, but when I did, it was SUPER fun!! We went around 10pm on a Friday & it wasnt super crowded (thankfully), but I understand this is a popular place for birthday parties!! Definitely worth checking out for something different to do!

Review №78

G-force as a whole is a fun place to ride go-carts but some of the employees are very biased. I was the only female on the track with 4 other of my friends & I was the only one that kept getting flagged down for one issue after another while my friends were doing the exact same thing and nothing was said. Very disappointed with how the gentleman on the track had such unfair treatment. I understand there has to be rules but it needs to be consistent accross the board not just females & males.

A lot of the staff here doesnt really seem to care about much, but the people running the go karts are pretty passionate about it and are very helpful. The prices are a little high (but so is almost every go kart, etc. place) but it is a lot of fun. Ive heard the archery tag is a lot of fun so Im hoping to try that soon.

I cant remember the last time Ive had so much fun! We had family visiting from out of state and wanted to take them somewhere fun. The staff was so friendly and welcoming! We got to experience the go-karts, paintball, and laser tag; we had a blast. Its fun for all ages; we had people ranging from 21 to 57 years old. Although G-force is great for kids, dont forget its great for adults too! We love coming here; awesome value for your money! Make this your next birthday party or hang out spot!
