Circuit of the Americas Reviews

Getting there is slow for big event. Improvementsneed to be make to make the experience better in general. The actual COTA facility is great. Just getting there can suck.

Went for a concert at the 360 Amphitheater and was nice but was very hot out.

Fantastic facilities and race track. Everyone was friendly.

Honestly always a joy to work with CotA. They are helpful, clean, and extremely understanding of solar cars and the need to get the word out about renewable energy. We had people from the concert they were having, watching us from the hill and cheering. It was really rewarding.

We did have someone break into our closed track with solar cars on it. The car was a Pontiac and almost hit some of the college students that were doing a tire change in the hot pits. It was extremely scary, since our cars are much smaller and weigh so much less than a normal car. CotA was on it. I have never seen the safety trucks move so fast to block the guy off and chase them down. They caught they guy and arrested him.

CotA went out of the way to help us out in that super scary situation and why I am even bothering to write this review. I can't thank them enough for keeping the students safe.

Loved it! We had never been to a race and bought tickets for Muse but now we are looking forward to the races. Thank you!

I saw the Slayer concert there..pretty decent venue

Formula 1 Grand Prix! Lots of amazing vendors for local Texas flavors, and, of course, fast cars

If you're looking for excitement and fun, come to COTA

Needs some work to better handle rain and mud on the walkway could easily become a safety issue

Parking arrangement could be better with all the space around it available. Was there for f1 2016 and was impressed with the facility. Just the parking was a holy mess.

Was at the F1 race in 2011. Race OK. Track was new with -very- poor access. Long single line to get into parking lot at Travis Co Fair grounds because they used only 1 gate. Long single line inside lot because they could only park car one at time. Long walk to get to transfer station. Long wait to get into a school bus. Dropped off in a dusty field 3/4 mile from track. Long walk to track with dust being kicked up by carts and 4 wheelers constantly going by in the dirt. Another 3/4 mile walk crowded path to turn 11 because the trams were almost unusable. Apparently they could not climb the hill by T1 when fully loaded. They brought in metro buses for day 2. The lines were just as bad. Getting out everyday was terrible. Oh, and long lines for the cheapest T shirt I have ever seen. Sorry for the rant. The best part was being in Texas again.

This is a great place to visit with the family. Its enormous. Definitely wear comfy shoes. Not a bad seat at the amphitheater for concerts.

My favorite race track. The best place I've experienced an F1 race. Parking is plenty with concessions and bathrooms everywhere. Great venue!

I got to watch Xgames here in 2014 and see Kanye perform in the amphitheatre one of the nights. Really cool venue overall, very big. Kept nice and parking was pretty convenient. Setup for the concert was pretty cool also; I was on the ground level right by the stage. Would like to come back for another show or maybe an F1 race!

Beautiful location to see some racing. Wish I had brought a race car instead a ticket for the stands.

Race great , parking and walkways horrible since they are not paved with concrete or asphalt , just gravel that get muddy, dusty. Ridiculous after all these years and parking price that they are not fully paved .

Great place with multiple functions not only the car racing circuit

It was fun they had so many stands and the race I went to was really fun as well. It was a really crowded, but what do you expect?

We always have an awesome time here. F1, SVRA, concerts. Everything is always well done.

Winter Wonderland is vastly disappointing and not worth $10 let alone $16. Haphazard design, terrible food options, extremely mediocre lights, attractions cost extra money.

This was a great experience!! , it was my first time attending after passing it hundreds of times.Everybody living in Texas should go(:

Great track and staff. They coach you in between races to help you improve which makes the experience a lot better than competitors

Confiscating sunscreen at the 2016 F1 is not cool...and potentially a life changing policy exposing attendees to melanoma.

Been here a few time for raves and concerts.

Today was a two in one.

We mostly wanted to go to see Muse during their Simulation Theory tour but we had tickets for the indy race as well.

Hello, good afternoon, with great enthusiasm I attended this majestic second time, the scene where the famous Formula 1 grand Prix is celebrated, reason for many experiences and great emotions since we have always been an admirer without having a runner to follow we were not fans, but from 5 years to date we were with Nico Rosberg, very well and without abounding he retired to win, now we are with Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari.
Upon arrival at the circuit we could see that they have continued to modernize, completing details of areas, which had not been conditioned, now there is more comfort, security and order, everything has increased, to comply with the standards and quality of the standards, of the The best circuits in the world, this is the most comfortable and practical, for us Latinos specifically DOMINICANS, WE COME FROM OUR COUNTRY, MAKING AN EFFORT, to enjoy a great event, such as the one unique car sport, superior to others, Here in Austin we enjoy the comforts and facilities of first class, we attend the Grand Stand, where we feel very well, with the comforts of those VIP areas, as for the calendar or schedule of the Grand Prix, it was very well prepared, constant activities, of the different categories and exhibited is of classic cars, racing legends like the legendary formula 1 from the 1970s to the 1990s, excellent thus kept the public at the expectation of many activities for enjoyment, how we enjoy a varied music, environmental between one and another race, the day of the autographs, was a very good event, although it is very short and every day more fans go, it was exciting, or We served on the big day of the race, that the events and inauguration protocol went very well although it could have been more colorful and I passed them from the Air Force airplanes, very shy, at least 3 times, gave it more brightness and enthusiasm , at the end of the race, the fireworks, and the distribution of pennants for greater color was very positive, the flag of the state and that of the entire USA, in short they were days, very wonderful, exciting and unforgettable reiterator, we hope that the next year, cover more details and add more events, always observe that prices do not increase promotional items, food and drink, it is very important, I do not want to say goodbye without thanking and congratulating the Liberty Media Company, owner of the.ma Rxa and the state police, how always a lot of discipline and order, specifically to the State Trooper, worked I tirelessly, GREETINGS and good afternoon, until next year, God through, health!

Great experience! Great concert! No Shoes Nation! Food was a little pricey but it was expected.

Went to watch the American grand prix with two American army buddies I'd not seen in 24 years,for what we paid for the tickets & extras the only thing that let it down was we got to see the start finish & winners podium & split seconds of the cars

Best track weve been too. Lots to see eat and buy and the track is amazing!!

Very bad customer service. It s as if you don t want people to come visit your facility. Out of line for the prices you charge.

Great racing facilities, but starting to show some age.

Always such a wonderful experience no matter what you come to see. Remember to being sunscreen and good walking shoes to be able to take in the whole complex and have the best time.
Enjoy!

Great circuit with many points to observe the circuit

Went to 2018 F1 USGP. COTA put on a show for Sunday.

World class track! Everything always clean and professional. Lots of seating and concessions.

Long walk from parking but fast out and decently fast in. Lots of food options plenty of restrooms. Minimal shade in summer, good venue for shows.

Great racing venue. Only place to catch MOTOGP in the USA.

Really good community. Everyone's open to let you walk their setup and talk builds. I even met Aaron from Gas Monkey. 5/5

Slipknot concert was awesome. Haven't been to one in a hot minute. Had a good time Jamming

Austin Bold FC... Phenomenal! What a great venue and environment!

World class facility with a beautiful view and challenging circuit. Check out the observation deck, it is a must see. Fun go-kart track.

THE ELITE OF SPORTS AUTOMOTIVE F1 NORTH GP AMERICA GP USA

Awesome location, awesome staff, awesome support from the local municipality, awesome events all year

Attended the F1 race for the first time. Event was fantastic. Stayed with friends in the RV area. Had a couple of issues, but we let the staff know and they addressed them promptly. Everything ran so smoothly. Walking the front straight after the race was awesome. Only complaint was don't put the Johnnie Walker tent handing out free scotch in the choke point opposite the food trucks behind the turn 15 grand stands. Created a big choke point with a large crowd standing around drinking scotch when the stands emptied after qualifying.

Needs a lot of work, even after being open for this long.

Awesome track k with lots of great places to spectate with GA ticket.

My first time at a racetrack. Was cool walking around looking at the cars in the pit.

If it's not F1, don't count on any sort of organization.

The COOLEST thing about COTA is how anyone with the right training can take their car out in the track and beat the heck out of it. My wife and a few of my friends want to pitch in and get a car to beef up and race it. Fingers crossed!

Went to see MUSE concert and it was great! Wear comfortable shoes bc u will walk a ways during to parking..

NNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM.

go there if you wanna hear alot of that.

I love fast cars
I feel the need for speed
But on second thought...
They really need to work on their diversity
They Definitely do not make you feel welcomed based upon their racial profiling....
Making people feel out of place because of their race should be titled a disgrace....fyi

Of all the amphitheater I've been to around the world, this is one of my least favorite. Sound is okay, but the layout sucks and they need bigger videoscreens for the people on the lawn to see the talent.

Well run race track. Pleasant staff everywhere we went.

I visited this circuit for the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) race. Beautiful circuit with modern facilities, it was one of the nicest circuit I've been too. The observation tower is also something unique here
