Circuit of the Americas Reviews

Went with a group of 13 and had an absolute blast on the go-karts. The staff is friendly and helpful. The experience consisted of three races: warmup, qualifier, and race. After each race you get a detailed breakdown of how you performed in comparison to others. The track Is balanced well with some tricky turns and straightaways.

Note that each kart has it s own kinks as far as handling, accelerating, and breaking. This was my only gripe as you are given a new kart in each race.

Overall great experience.

Great track with rolling grassy hills to kick back and watch MotoGP

Great venue and facility as always!

And you can never be another great 4th of July Willie Nelson picnic!

I think it's time we need to wonder what kind of world are children's going to leave Willie Nelson

Beautiful race track. Plenty of areas to take pictures of the cars

Great as a music venue, pay for the better seats you can afford. Long walk from the parking lot, it's a very large space, so plan for walking around a lot.

Great set up. Traffic flows in and out really easily due to excellent organisation. Circuit has plenty of food and drink to choose from and it's easy enough to get around too

An ultimate racing track experience for the F1 lover. I spent time at the track as a field marshal and being on the tracks where all action happens is amazing. The after race concerts are worth it. You can walk around a lot of places and settle down for the view of the race/corner that's suits you the best. Have other fun activities such as flying fox and go-karts. Do visit during the October racing season.

Great time! Lots of food and merchandise for sale. You don't need to buy a seat in the grandstand. Buy general admission and sit on the grass. Don't forget to bring your chair. Had a fun time meeting new people sitting near me.

I went for the F1 USGP and was pleased with the area and the facilities overall. My complaints may be directed more towards the specific race weekend I attended, but I feel it is helpful information in general. There was a great number of porta potty groupings around the track, but they were quickly.out of toilet paper and were not restocked throughout the weekend. Parking was great in the morning, but was absolutely miserable in the evenings with little to no traffic direction for thousands of vehicles leaving all at once. The track itself is a beauty, but until it is better managed you may want to consider alternate tracks to visit.

This is a great outdoor venue that accommodates all needs. Getting in and out of the venue is much easier than most other venues I've been to; and I've been to venues all across the country, big and small. I took an Uber to and from. I was a little concerned about getting out and having to wait a long time but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. It was really great! We saw Foo Fighters, which was probably the best show I've seen to date. I definitely would love to see then again!

Nice track, a circuit for racing and a place to live F1 in a different less glamorous way

COTA has grown into it's space. initially space amenities and fewer paved paths, the track now hosts local bands playing at various stages around the track, numerous food trucks, and more paths to accommodate the flow of thousands of people.

If you were turned off from a visit shortly after it opened, you'll likely enjoy giving it a second visit.

Attended a concert (Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson) and it was my first time here. It was easy to get to and to leave. The parking is always an issue at most large venues, but this place is well organized with friendly help everywhere. They have carts for those that need a lift. It s safe and super clean. Restrooms are readily accessible and plenty of food and drink stations to purchase from throughout your time here.

Beautiful race track, moderate general admission viewing. Attending a Formula One race is an expensive proposition. $60 hats $80 t-shirts, $12 taco $11 beer. At least there was free water refills. Ugh

It was my very first time watching (live) MOTOGP and my second time seeing MOTOAMERICA. I m glad that it was here at Circuit Of The Americas. It was such an amazing experience. I definitely give COTA racing track 5 hearts (stars), that s how much I loved and enjoyed every single moment. Good views everywhere! The adrenaline rush that I got was so thrilling every single time the motorcycles passes. It makes me wonder if I ll get the same feelings if I were to see F1 racing here at COTA? I guess we ll have to come back and find out.

Fantastic COTA October 2016 Formula1 experience. Turn 1 general admission-grass seating has a fabulous view of both Pit Row & Turn 1. Very excellent time & well worth the price for great memories! Thank you so much for honoring Military Service Members with reduced ticket prices. COTA is awesome!!!

Track is great I just was there for Lone Star LeMans. Race was fantastic where they really fell short was on the shuttle service to get you around the track. Last year seem to be very good I don't understand how they could have over looked this during the planning of this event. I hope that F1 isn't the same.

Came here this Summer to see Cheap Trick and Foreigners 40th concert. I had 3rd row seats and it was amazing. I might say that it was almost 100 degrees that day in the shade. I had VIP tickets and waited over an hour in the full sun, on concrete waiting to enter the venue. That part was a nightmare! But, once you get past that, there's plenty of seating among the shady oak trees, to grab a bite before the concert begins. There's many, many vendors for food, drinks and treats, and of course special events, concerts and bands will have their booths selling t-shirts and memorabilia! They do need to think about the Texas heat, and maybe put a few tents up near the entrance. Still,a great time and awesome venue. Great time, and I will definitely be back!

Texas is big enough to have an Indy race and NASCAR as well as football.

Went to the concert venue. Nice setup and enjoyed that, but an incident with a parking lot employee was hazardous and never addressed by the venue after I complained.I'll be back, but if I encounter said bozo again it won't be pretty, possibly!

My best friend and I did the Audi Driving Experience here, and it was an insanely good time. I can't recommend it enough.

Dislike having bands I want to see at this venue. So far from downtown so it s a hassle to get to. When you finally arrive they are extra with their restrictions. The new rule is 6 chair leg length. Mine has roughly 8 legs that go inward, so less than 6 inches high. So I had to pay $10 for a damn locker when my chair is probably smaller profile than the beach chairs they allow in. Use common sense! Obviously lawn chairs are a no go but come on. Do better.

Awesome track to visit!! Be prepared to walk alot it's a big one!

We watched a great concert here and the staff and everyone we encountered along the way was very friendly and helpful.

I was here for a concert and they ran out of most of the alcohol prior to the concert. Very long walk from ride share drop off, entrance, and venue. Be sure you wear comfy shoes for walking in dirt and uneven surfaces.

Excellent, only the most remote parking lots that are dirt, and that in rainy conditions is very muddy and clogging cars

I had an awesome experience at COTA for the 2019 MotoGP race! I got to visit the amphitheater, the observation tower, and the paddock! It was like a dream come true!

Always a good time at this place no matter the occasion!

Went to the endurance race. Stands had few people. The area that had the food and apparel shops was not set up. Going from one area to the next was complicated. Race was good and exciting. Hot. Spectators left the stands to sit under them in the shade. Stands are in the wrong place. Not near a good viewing spot.

Was here for Fully Charged Live event focusing on electric vehicles. It was a great place for a large event. The facilities here are very nice and lots of room for a big show. Would be nice if they had a few larger secondary rooms, at this event the 2nd stage area was packed tight. But may be because the speakers were so good.

I have mixed feeling about this place. They are doing amazing stuff but it's almost like they forgot about the customer. Want to race it's awesome. They have a mixed rally track in the works and just finished the kart track. Both very cool. But go to a race on the main track in September and you will regret it. No shade, no idea what's going on and everyone leaves within an hour. Honestly driving with your friends doing triple digits on the highway and walking thru the parking lot are the highlights of a race day. They do have these amazing suites you cab rent but the cost is crazy. Sorry not spending a grand for this.

This is huge for the City of Austin and rest of South Texas as well. Can t wait to visit back soon y all!!!!

Awesome track. First time was a success. Mark Marquez!!!

it is a fantastic road course that you can see most of the track from the hills that surround it. Recommend it as a bucket list visit for the American Grand Prix Formula One race.

Cant go wrong with attending a concert or event here

I always have a good time there. I have been to races, concerts, and events. Good times

Manson/Zombie concert! First time here. Loved the shuttle service, the employees and overall, it was just awesome.

I've been to this venue for multiple events. Dirtfish Rally, Concerts, F1... It's always a fun time. The venue also handles traffic and parking extremely well.

F1 for America! Wonderful mix of fans, good food and race action..easy parking and excellent crowd control..

Great venue for concerts. Good access and organization.

Excellent track & venue; makes for a great racing experience.

The track is awesome and watching the race was too, and I'm not a major race fan. Plenty of things to do during F1 weekend. Moving the people about could use some work, there's tons of bottlenecks where everyone is packed together.

Probably my favorite amphitheater in Texas. It's the perfect size with a great view from any seat, including the lawn.

Decent venue, but they GOTTA add more bathrooms. I had to wait in a line about 20 people deep, and that was a short line I went upstairs behind the stage and found. The main bathrooms had lines about 70 people deep... Besides that they had decent fair food selections and a really good craft beer selection for a concert venue.

We had a great time at the Austin Bold game, but wish the tower had been open as advertised in an email we received as ticket holders.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the F1 racing. Signage for parking and signage for lines and attractions was severely lacking. Everything is expensive. Only bottled water was allowed at the entrance.

The Offsping, 311 and Gym Class Heros was a great night full of good music.
The Circuit of the Americas is a good venue.

If I could change anything, it would be the seating up front aft of the pit.

The seats could use some space from left to right and definitely more room for people to get in and out of seating (the rows/aisle).

I would love to attend the Formula 1 racing in October!

Nice inexpensive place to go with lots of interesting people and lots of fun.

The love this place. The concerts and the F1 races are always amazing.
You gotta expect the food and alcohol to be expensive. But over all. Always a good time. I've been coming to Cota since it was built.
My company did the Land Survey for it. CBD engineering.

We've been here twice for F1, improving every year!

Moto GT at Circuit of the Americas is an event that definitely should be experienced by all

This place has everything a race track, Amphitheater, soccer field and much more

Was here for a concert . Travel tram picked us up on a timely basis. Staff was helpful and directed us to cooling and seating areas. Location was very well kept and clean.

Amazing and beautiful track! Came here for MotoGP & Formula 1, and had a blast! Tons of seating options & places for snacks. But it s SUPER expensive for seats and food options. General admission seating is okay if you pick a spot and stick to it for hours, but I recommend buying a ticket for the stands so you have a set seat. Parking all around the track is ridiculously over priced! Needs more parking for cheaper. (Some lots are gravel on the side of a hill).

Traffic coming & going is a NIGHTMARE!! Tiny two lane roads in the middle of nowhere trying to accommodate thousands of cars is ridiculous. Need way more lanes & help directing traffic. (Also, really the only way to get there is to take toll roads that will mail you a bill a month later).

Amazing family friendly place and offers free events.

Love this place! Look forward to every racing event!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!! Their go carts were amazing! This place is a legitimate location apart of the world wide formula 1 race cars! They also have exotic car training class people can purchase to learn how to handle vehicles at top speeds, just like the pros! A program certainly on my bucket list!

Awesome experience seeing Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. Drinks and food are expensive. Staff is wonderful!

Racing, festivals, concerts and food! What more could you want!

Best track of the year, apart from the garages are too small.

Nice track and nice to go for other races than the F1

Amazing experience at MotoGP!

My only gripe would be that at times there are just not enough restrooms available even with port-o-cans. This subsides relatively quickly when the next race starts.

Several options for food was available although bring your wallet.

Great venue. The design of the ampitheatre allows for a really nice breeze.

Its a great track you can do alot of walking if you want to just keep that inmind its really big and races are cool to see them there

I have only been to MotoGP events, so take that into account. Awesome facility, great views from turn 1. Prices are ok, and never been disappointed.

Awesome race track. Watch the Formula 1 race. Great show.
