Circuit of the Americas Reviews

Awesome tracks and if you can afford it, you can shred like the NASCAR boy's...

Amazing venue! My family and I have been at the F1 race since 2012 and have never been disappointed. The track offers great food and concerts throughout the race weekend.

Fantastic facilities! As a long time Nascar fan I was blown away by the Formula One Experience.

My wife and I came here for a vacation this year and it was absolutely amazing. The weather wasn't overly cooperative but it was February after all. The event staff was more than helpful and always willing to point you in the right direction. Surprisingly the food and the merchandise was not over prices like my wife thought it would be. We will absolutely be going here again for more races.

Went to the circuit when they turned it into winter wonderland. I think if they continue to add to it every year it will be fantastic. We had fun ice skating and enjoyed the carnival rides. The light displays were great.

The track is too new. We went there for Formula 1. They need to work out the kinks still. Sat in traffic for way to long after the race. I know there is going to be a jam. But this was ridiculous. When we got up to the jam the Police we causing it by taking 3 lanes down to one. They need to get everyone out of that immediate area first, then let them figure it out.
The track itself is nice. For $4 billion they could have made wider walkways, finished the landscaping so you have grass to sit on. Had more bathrooms etc.
I expected prices to be high. But they were raping us at $10.50 for a domestic.

If you are a F1 fan, if you are a car racing fan or if you are just a fan of nice, powerful cars, this is a place to come and visit. There are even events where you can be a passager and drive a long with experimented drivers in this 3.4 miles circuit. Thats an unforgettable experience. Extra: walk the garage, take pictures of the cars, take videos of the short races, talk with the drivers and owners,etc, etc, etc.

One of the smoothest and go karting tracks I have been to. Definitely tries to rival the actual track. And of course 5 stars to COTA for hosting the F1!

Difficult to get around. Everything is about $. Paddock for the support races is closed to everyone except... you guessed it - those who pay extra. Montreal is AT LEAST 4X better. Maybe 10X.

I was here when the gates opened for the very first time and have gone to every F1 race since. It just keeps getting better and better.

An excellent site for those who like speed engines and adrenaline. F1 was spectacular

AMAZING track! BEAUTIFUL surroundings! SPECTACULAR fan experience! The Inaugural Indycar Classic was a SUCCESS!!

It was a great time with a bunch of friends. The staff was polite and helpful. If we come back to Austin we will definitely try to make it back again. Great place for Carta!

Though the history of how this place was funded is controversial, the end result is great. You can count on having a very professional and enjoyable experience here. The event are world-class, and all memorable! Just watch out for sky high prices on booze!

Awesome venue! Wonderful attendees and vendors. The racing and the concerts was great. A good time was had by all, family and friends.

We went for Cars and Coffee. We got to see lap battles and drifting. It was pretty cool.

The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas is an American motor racing circuit. The first official race held there was the United States Grand Prix 2012, 19th race of the Formula 1 World Championship, won by Lewis Hamilton on McLaren.

Awesome track! We went for MotoGP and it was quite the experience. Super clean facility and the food options were solid.

The walk was very motivating and the L shaped lake reminded me of the book "Hatchet"

F1 race and concerts are a blast. Went 2 years ago and this past weekend. Looking forward to next year's race!

Well designed, easy of access. Some parking facilities too far.

Food trucks, huge area, great acoustics, shade trees

This is a great place if you enjoy go kart.
The karts here are pretty fast which adds to the fun and rush. The only issue I find is that one ticket will enable you to ride only for 10 minutes, which seems short. Nevertheless, I recommend trying it out and race.

Love the shows here. Parking is a far so be prepared to walk.

Fantastic track. Great curves and passing zones. Grandstands or grass seating - great view. Check-out the kart racing and the gondola.

A variety of races and many different types of food and beverages offered by vendors. Go kart track in front is new.

Very cool track. Make sure to check out the go cart track when you are there.

Went to the Christmas display & carnival
Great place. Wonderful, loved it.. Music was lovely.

Great venue. Lots of great vantage points. Tons of vendors

Was a little hot on the floor.
Could use more fan and a little wider seats
But otherwise it was great! Had a good time!

Great Grandprix auto and motor circuit and a multi use venue...

Great time this morning at Austin Cars & Coffee. Automotive eye candy all over the place.

The facility it self is fantastic but the parking situation is rediculas and the lack of proper shuttle then if you dont want Ferrari ,Mercedes or red bull merch. You screwed only 1 location to get it and the line is 3 football fields long . who ever owns this track migjt want to go visit a NASCAR track and learn how to run it

Beautiful location in the middle of the green everything is taken care of down to the smallest details ... large parking lots excellent organization ....

It didn't suck. Had a blast on the track. I'm coming for you turn 15!
Great facilities for the AMG academy.

Great place to see a concert, very good sound system

Always an amazing track to race at, and the garages are second to none.

absolutely wonderful time was had here! great hosts and fantastic atmosphere

This is a great venue just outside of downtown Austin. The set up is done very well and there doesn't appear to be a bad seat at all. The sound was amazing and the open air venue made it a great atmosphere. Parking was included with the ticket, which meant a bit of a walk to get to the entrance. However, there are better parking options for an extra charge. There are plenty of food and drink options, merchandise stands, and bathrooms (Porta-Potties). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, with security taking no crap from anyone...except when it comes to smoking.

The smoking (not just cigarettes) and vaping was quite excessive in the crowd. This definitely wasn't being addressed by anyone as it went on the entire night. I'm pretty sure I got a contact high from being in the crowd for a couple hours, and the smell is disgusting. There were two actual restrooms in the venue, but there were about 40 Porta-Potties scattered throughout the venue. When it gets dark, seeing in those Porta-Potties is impossible. Be careful not to drop your phone in the toilet when using the flashlight!

Went to karting. Karts felt great, were fast and felt better than other comparable karts.

A great music venue and a fantastic race track. I've been here for concerts and auto/moto races and I've always had a good time - in fact, I'd call this the best F1 track in the western hemisphere. You'll get $15 beers and $10 hamburgers but that's to be expected at a venue like this. What's a little less acceptable is the 2 lane road that services the track and makes it so that you're gonna have a horrible time entering or leaving the venue.

Great track even though it's outdoors... Make sure you arrive early because it takes a bit to get you ready

Delivering bridge panels here,
Still a lot of work to be done, but it looks
Like it's go to be pretty cool . . .

Outstanding track. Great environment with lots of things to do. You will enjoy it in formula one weekend

Had an absolute blast tonight! Friendly and helpful staff. Vehicular ingress and egress was simple and smooth. Concessions are a little costly but well worth it.

COTA is only venue that if you arrive early, you are directed to park the as far away from the venue as possible. Those that arrive late, park closer to the venue in the same lot. Our parking lot was not labeled so we drove around the venue getting incorrect directions. The walk to the concert venue during GP F1 was dark, crowed and unsafe. It was like herding cattle through a cattle guard at midnight. After the event was over, the General Admission crowd had to walk back up the hill and traverse through one narrow exit up a number of switchbacks and of course, no signs directing the crowd to the correct parking lot. COTA is a nice venue, it is just run by poor organizers.

Love going to races try to go to each one always a good time.

The Circuit of America's. The only home for F1 in America so it's always going to be the place to catch that kind of action. The facilities and track layout are great too.

Love the venues. I wish there was more shade, and cheaper food

Did the bmw track days at circuit of the American and had a blast. I would totally do special events here again. Driving the track was an amazing rush!

Great lace to go see a concert (Santana)... Just got tickets for May J Blige.....

Great experience, went for the bike night highly reccomend for all

Just got back from an amazing weekend at COTA watching F1. Gift from my wife for my birthday. Absolutely amazing time.
Truly shocking how quickly they can get 150,000 people in & out of the parking lots.
The food was actually surprisingly good - not cheap - but no more than theatre food & WAY better tasting. Beer was plentiful & getting to our seats was not bad.
We sat at the top of Grandstand 9 (by corner #9) you could see about 3/4 of the track & the cars screamed by us within 200 feet - close enough to get the feel of truly how fast they are going.
So
I highly recommend it to you. Especially if you've been closely following F1 for 33 years like I have.
Hey
Even the concerts were amazing.
Imagine Dragons Friday night.
P!NK on Saturday night.
It was a great time had by all!

Awesome track! Went there for the F1 race and it was great!

My husband rode, for the first time, in the BP MS 150 going from Houston, TX to Austin,TX. It was an amazing event to say the least. Their finish was located at the COTA. I had never been here prior to this moment and was simply amazed at all the things they had there for people to partake in. There is a racetrack there, go-carts, a HUGE slide that I believe you ride a box car down and Im sure there is more to do and see. This was just what we had noticed. It would be fun for us to revisit and experience all they have here.

First world spaces, services and entertainment, just an observation, improve food options.

The best go karting in Austin. Its is really good. Tip: Visit on mondays for almost half the price.

We stopped here during a spring break road trip. Myself and my two teen kids, son and daughter and it was really cool. We planned on racing the karts and it was a blast. My daughter was slightly undersized to pilot her own kart of the size we were running. If we had waited for the smaller class, she could have but it would have been later in the afternoon and we didn t have that much time to kill. Check the schedule for the times and classes they run and also check the height/weight recommendations for drivers.
The best part of our stop here was totally unplanned. The Ferrari Challenge was visiting the track and we were able to walk the paddocks and check out those incredible machines. Even got to see them parade past us one by one and stage for the start of a run.
COTA is worth a stop if you re in the southeast Austin area.

Great place to race. Not so much fun watching, prices are severely inflated for F1 races and parking access is a nightmare.

Such a great track. Tour guide was really nice and we had amazing access too.

Great place to see a concert . It's so nice being outside . Make sure you pay for better parking or you will be doing alot of walking .

Get close-in parking if you can... Now that Uber/Lyft are gone.
