Pole Position Raceway Des Moines

My family and I love coming here! Also a great place to go with friends! NICE facility. The staff are great hosts. The racing is well run and the karts are FAST! Not everything goes perfect all of the time but they've always made it right if something affects our experience. I recommend buying a membership or package deals, you'll save quite a bit. We also enjoy the arcade games too. Best go-kart place I've been to!

We paid $66 for 2 of us for a 15 lap drive around the track. Being our first time it took a lap or 2 to build a lil confidence to “go”. While building our confidence we were passed by the local race team that seem to have done this all but professionally, which is fine, scoot over and let them pass. Well it’s there lap count that marks the race. They got their 15 laps in and the “race” was over. I completed 12 laps at best and my date maybe 9. Fun but not quite the value for your money. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Clean place. Thank you

First time here. Last time here. Staff super unprofessional makes fun of customers when they think the people can’t hear. This is supposed to be a fun experience. This was anything but fun. Staff humiliated us and the owner was rude and unwilling to hear me out. All the talk about having a clean race, yet they can play bumper cars out there and no one cares. No warning flags or anything. Edit: More than half of the arcade games weren’t even working.

I provided a video of the owner being rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately back again to give a 1 star review. I've never encountered a more rude owner of a business in all my life. Took my 15 yr old son here today and he wasn't let know that he'd be racing alone in a race. He was very confused and did not have a good time. Who would have a good time racing alone when you go to RACE?? The owner proceeded to get very rude and snippy with me, telling me it wasn't his responsibility to let us know he'd be racing alone. The proceeded to tell me he races 4 races every morning by himself. That's great, he also doesn't PAY to race or go to race ANOTHER person. We're now banned from here after frequenting this business back when it was MB2 raceway. I've been taking my son here since he was just tall enough to race. I'm super disappointed with th ownership. This guy is very lucky he has good staff and there what's keeping it going. I had to come back and edit my review tonight. I never did catch the guy's name who was running the spot where you get your helmet. But my kids and I were there today, 3/26, around 6pm. This guy was so extremely helpful and nice to my kids. He helped make sure my daughter got her glasses under the head sock so she could see properly and a couple other things. I had already given a 5 star review but this made me come back and give a better review. There was a little bit of a wait but worth it!!

Groupon made this easy. However, if you use a Groupon, it's 1st come 1st serve. Only if you book online for full price can you make a reservation. We didn't have any issues getting in in a timely manner. The racing is fun, and surrounding arcade games are great. One drop game was stuck, and we notified the attendee just for awareness. He followed up by adding 1000 tickets to our card. Mind you, we don't go to get tickets and merchandise, but it was super nice if him. Must be 13 + to drive the fast cars. Underage ones go slower for safety.
