Circuit of the Americas Reviews

Fantastic track. My favorite in North America. FAST sweeping corners, plenty of run off. Awesome! Austin is a must visit town.

Outstanding facility. We were there for F1 and really enjoyed ourselves. Be ready to walk a lot. The place is huge!

Fun track. Not much access to get close if you're not going an event.

My friend and I visited the amphitheater to see Cage the Elephant x Beck and it was amazing. They had a truck cart people from the parking lot to the theater and back, lots of accessible restrooms and food, and the lawn was very clean and well kept. The lights and giant red tower look amazing at night when lit up. I will definently be back for future concerts!

COTA and RideSmart combined to make motorcycle track day the best ever!

Stale, cold, expensive food with only 1 vendor to choose from no matter where you went inside the track. I even asked if the food was recently cooked and they lied and said it was just set out. There are no options for outside the track either, except gas station food.

The race track facilities, organization and staff was very good. The concert facilities were not and I might argue they were hazardous. The trams between the gates was spotty (at best), the walk to the concert area was poorly lighted (most people used their mobile phone flashlights) and disorganized (no signs) and we were forced to walk through grass fields with tire ruts, rocks and other hazards (in the dark). Once in the concert area, the only lights were from the stage and from the beer vendors (which camped out in front of the toilets). The walk from the concert area back to the parking area was really really poor, couldn't find the trams and most of the workers we met along the walk were imported from other cities (like Houston) and had never been to the facility before (they just shrugged their shoulders). Racing was fantastic and I'd definitely go again. Concert was a total mess and I will never go back.

Super great place for a company outing . Go carts was so fun .

My go to weekend time killing spot. I admittedly haven't been fortunate enough to attend F1/Moto GP, but I've seen many races and love Cars and Coffee. I would love to see a more elaborate events calendar that doesn't only show major events. Maybe this exists but I'm not sure where.

Greatest experience I've ever had at a sporting event. Staff was friendly helpful and gave genuine appreciation of our patronage. The venue was well kept for its size and was very well planned for the event. The facilities were clean and updated nicely for an outdoor "stadium". I would 100% recommend COTA for entertainment of all kind.

Whether it's racing or concerts, they do things right. 4 stars because their food and beverage prices are ridiculous.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had at the race I attended. Will definitely go back.

Awesome to see 2018 moto gp there. Mark Marquez killed it!

Cars and Coffee every 2nd Sunday. Plenty of exotics and today was Porsche Day so we got to see a few having fun on the track. Looking into Audi R8 Driving Experience.

Great family fun place! Saw a little bit of F1 Race Cars practicing. The Kart track racing was awesome! 55mph in a Kart was incredible! Very nice people in general! Check it out if you are near the airport!

Can't wait to watch a race next year at this track.

Poor facilities for grand stand seats, Melbourne GP is so so do much better for F1 fans

I've come each year for the F1 and Motogp races. The ownership should make the facility more fan friendly with shuttles from the outlying parking areas (it can be quite a walk) and the chances for better photo opportunities for amateurs like myself would be welcome. I was listening to some of the riders last week during the Motogp event commenting after several falls during practice and the race itself that the track conditions were appalling. I have to say after watching the riders slide in turn 19 and turn 2 the track conditions need to be improved or FIMA may not return to race there and that would be a huge embarrassment seeing as there are no American riders in the premier class as well as Moto2 and Moto3 and Mexico now has a venue. Let's make the track the best in the world. Texas 4 forever

Thank God for your AC pavillion , was to hot at Corvette Invasion , NEED TO CHANGE THAT TO DIFFERENT TIME OF YEAR.

One of my favorite racetracks! I've only been here for MotoGP. Always had a great time

Cool place to see a concert and race track appears to be great.

Went to a concert there. Great place but when it was over it was late and hardly any lights on. I parked in lot a which was a good walk away. Out of the whole parking lot only a few lights were on. Very dark!!!

This was a weekend and adventure I will never forget. COTA has done a great job managing and hosting events here. I can't wait to come back!

Great time at the Indy races - lots of space to walk around and lawn seating room

I love the United States grand prix. I wish formula one had more us stops

Love this place! Turn 15 is top shelf!! The whole city is amazing!

This place is amazing!!! As a long time Formula One fan coming here was a big check on my "bucket list." My wife & I came on a Sunday & took the tour. It was 2 hours & we got to see nearly every detail of the track. Including the "inner workings" like the VIP suites, the winners podium & race control, which is very impressive. As a special bonus there were sanctioned race clubs on track that day so after the tour we went back to the main grandstands had a cold beverage & watched Porsches, Corvettes, GTRs, BMW's you name it, racing past at full throttle for the rest of the afternoon. A beautiful track on a gorgeous piece of land outside a very fun city, Austin TX. Thanks #COTA

This is a world class Moto GP and Formula 1 Track. 3.4 miles long, and 21 turns. Amazing experience

Just got back from the 2014 US Gran Prix at COTA. Absolutely first class weekend in all aspects of the facility and trip.
We were in Turn 11 General Admission. Great viewing sat amongst knowledgeable, polite race fans. We parked in offsite parking lot Q, it was easy to get in & out of the track using the free shuttle buses. We stayed South of the track in New Braunfels, and it was a breeze getting in & out.
The tickets were well priced (cheaper than Nascar). The concessions were quite easy to access, not cheap, but typical of any sports/music event. Free Kid Rock concert after the race.
The workers were efficient & polite without exception (typical of Austin & Texas).
I just booked our hotel for 2015.
Good job everyone.

I went to the Christmas event and I thought it was well worth it. It was pleasantly cheesy in the way a good Christmas celebration should be. Lots of people but not crowded. Clean and well run. A little pricey, but not too bad.

Outstanding Venue, great atmosphere lots of Hot Rods

Nice venue. Good seating. Air-conditioning bathrooms!

Really great time, going to the track. Lots of food trucks and pop up restaurants show up for major events. I have not been to a smaller event though. The walk from the far stands to the pots is far, but not hard.

First class facility and staff. Amazing track to race. Will be back for sure

F1 was frigging awesome. Rickshaw rides were just as exciting. Moto GP here we come (and Red Fin food truck $8 fish taco here we come too!)

Best day ever! Driving on the track was definitely amazing! Facility is top notch!

I didn't see the whole thing but from what I saw it was really nice. We only went to the amphitheater not a race.

Parking is TERRABLE!! There are no directions on line for transportation drop off or pick up. The events they have are great you just can't get to them or get out in under 2 hrs.

Went to Oddball Comedy festival here. They manage traffic decently. But don't expect to get out anytime soon. Took an hour to leave the venue. It's an overpriced venue, what can you expect. Food trailers from Austin are usually there. There is a lot of things going on simultaneously. Not a place I would go to see a sow again since it's pretty much like driving to another city.

This is on my wishlist hope I make it there someday soon

Beautiful race track that will take your breath away. There are lots of special events here that you should check out as well.

Alice In Chains and KORN, July 2019; fantastic show! I have lost track of how many concerts I ve seen at Austin 360. It is a wonderful venue!

Was there for the ms 150 very well organize I enjoyed it very mush

1st time and it was not a disappointment...cant wait for more shows there.

Has anyone used the Park and Ride for getting to the track? How was that experience?

Great venue; great seats; loved the race and loved Bruno Mars concert!

Best place to be at if you love cars. It also hosts the one and only pinnacle of motorsports, Formula 1 world championship race around october-november every year. Watching cars on their very edge going around the beautiful turns and curves of the track just gives and eyegasm(if thats a word ) and don't forget about that glorious sound of formula 1 cars.

We went for the Formula 1 race, everything very organized. Siemore respect the seats in the stands, super polite people. What if they get parking in advance.

best track ever!! ridesmart motorcycle school is the best!

I attended a conference, it has capacity for hundreds of people, a great place to all related automotive industry, yes definitely great atmosphere. Parking was not a problem and it was not really a long walk.

Always top notch and you can be right in the action

Awesome place, always clean. It's a race track and that its self is awesome.

A beautiful circuit, the bad thing .... impossible to finish the race

They continue to improve the customer experience year after year. They now need to work on crowd bottlenecks during the F1 races.

Had an amazing time! The story so far, taking back Sunday, coheed and Cambria!!

We love coming to races here. The track is fun, and many different options for seating. Our last visit was disappointing. We came for the IMSA races in May of 2017. There are many, many food trucks, booths, and concession stands. However for this race (which thousands of people attended) none of them were open. There was 1 stand on turn 15. We waited in line for 45 min and was told our food would be out in another 20. After waiting for two hamburgers we paid outrageous prices for they were both cold.

Great experience in this enormous racetrack. Plenty of entertainment and a vast array of food options all around the track. There are many food trucks and lots of good barbecue options. There are different venues for general music entertainment or shows with both assigned seats or general access lawn option. BE READY TO WALK!

Riders all complained the track was bumpy. Parking is a joke, people who work there not very helpful either.
