Circuit of the Americas Reviews

Da Greatest Show in da WORLD Crabtree AMUSEMENTS, formula 400 let da children play

Great place to watch a race. Not ADA friendly. They will get you from the parking lot to the gate, but you are on your own from there. Tough getting into the grand stands on a day it has rained. On crutches it sucks. In a wheelchair it takes 7 ramps, about 700 feet uphill to get into the stands at turn 12.

Attended a concert where we had lawn tickets. The view on the hill is spectacular - highly recommend and the service from the vendors made it so we never had to leave our "seat".

The venue is okay but the infrastructure getting to and from needs serious work. COTA intentionally makes getting an Uber/Lyft such a pain for their own profit to encourage people to pay their fees.

F1 is life! This was a bucket list item checked off.

Terrific venue, especially for race weekends. Bring ear plugs for F1, the cars are loud!

F1 Race was a lot of fun. It had its faults, but events of that size are hard to pull off without any hitches/inconveniences.

The soccer stadium is positioned perfectly. Makes for a great Saturday evening.

Saw the pixees and Weezer here. Good venue. Miss the general admission of my past. Harder to dance on a slanted hill.

That was the most overpriced under realized event I've been to in a long time it started off with parking that was quarter mile away from the entrance it cost to get in everything once you were inside cost at least $5 usually more I paid $66 for a cold hamburger of dry hot dog and some french fries and drinks. The train ride was a real rip off. It was $5 a person to go 200 yards. It didn't go the entire length of the lights. The ice rink was another disappointment. All in all I wouldn't waste the money.

Awesome experience. The Grand Prix F1 was phenomenal. Good weather, great ambiance. Enjoyed very much the vendors available and a lot of drinks.

Excellent outdoor venue. Food options continue to grow. Great concert experience whether you're on the lawn or seats.

I attend ONLY the annual MotoGP in April. COTA does a great job of making motorcycle parking convenient. The furthest I've ever had to walk to seating is 200 yards.

Might be the most unorganized event I ve ever attended! The staff had no idea what was going on, if you asked 10 the same question you d get 5 different answers and 5 who have no answer. The maps were inaccurate so don t try to find a bar, place to eat or bathroom based on the maps. The wait for the concerts at night were dangerous. No lighting, field with metal fencing to create some semblance of a queue, with every other barrier yellow tape. No oversight or direction from security or staff...As you can imagine it was tough to stay alive and not get trampled when they finally let you in as the crowd ran over the tape and barricades. Stay home and be safe.

We visit every year to watch MotoGp, food trucks near turn15 are good.. But the in-house food options are limited and costly.. If you have time don't miss to try out the COTA Karting experience..

COTA IS the first racetrack in the US built exclusively for F1 and it is universally praised by the drivers. Excellent facility and the operations improve with almost every event. MotoGP, F1, sports cars & IndyCar; if you are an auto or motorcycle roadracing fan, don't miss out.

Shuttle during F1 weekend from circuit to P&R was not planned well. Huge waiting lines and long ride. Waste of time.

Track is amazing. Seems to have gone too commercial with all the theaters and fields etc. Parking is a pain, and the cost of parking is ridiculously high. Worth a visit.

Came here as part of training for BMW and i was impressed. No wonder this is a world famous track.

If it wasn't for the rude bus drivers it would get 5 stars. Don't miss the free scca events!

The go karting is a blast! It s not the fastest I ve been to but it s still a ton of fun. It s hot as hell in the summer so be sure to bring or buy some water. You can bring your own helmet if you have one.

This was one of the most thrilling events I've ever been to. I will go every year from here on. I probably should give it a one star so the crowds don't get bigger. Lol

Track is in the middle of nowhere serviced by a two lane country road and has dodgy cell reception. Not close to Austin city at all. No public transportation. Traffic backs up so badly it takes 3 hours to get oit of the parking lot. Not a world class venue by any means.

We visited the Winter wonderland and had A-blast! I highly highly recommend this over going to the lights in zilker park which you have to wait 30 to 45 minutes just to get into the park then even though you pay for your ticket online you have to wait in line just to get through then your elbow to elbow with everyone. We really loved our experience at Kota it was nice and relaxed not too crowded and all of the displays were fabulous we loved the free pictures that we were able to check the download sites later the live music was awesome as well. We will definitely do Winter wonderland again next year.

In the heart of Texas, it smells like oil and a burnt tire !!

Great venue in a great city(kind of). Food and drinks overpriced but what do you expect in a place like this. Parking sux and is why didn't get 5 stars. Did I mention the parking? Its in the middle of nowhere is the only issue I don't think this place is actually in Austin on the outskirts its a bit outside the city. Travel to the countryside is worth it for your event. Staff inside and out a little pushy but they are probably overworked and underpaid. There was short security guy named Jesse who worked by the entrance checking people who was exceptionally cool. I will be back.

The lights were really nice. Didn't get to do the air balloon, but that's okay. I liked the winter wonderland

Such a fun stadium. Just a really confusing lay out.

Decent parking, lots of good vantage points, turn 15 grand stands are the best seats in the house. Great sound!

Everyone needs to take a couple of laps around this track.

The tour was amazing. This place also has go carting.

Very nice facility that hosts many different forms of racing.

Peppermint Parkway was great, a little bit of a wait, but normal.

Premium venue. A tad expensive but worth it when hosting a Formula 1 race.

I loved it the day I went it was a lot of people I had a great time m fun super wow

Awesome place. F1 race was super. Only problem was the ride share parking lot. And the traffic around it on the way in and out was really bad! Still a great time. Austin is fabulous!

great venue and track to not only drive on but you can now do go kart racing on a mini replica of the F1 track

World class facility with plenty of activities when there isn't a race

What a hassle getting in or around the area. It's not in Austin. It's about 20 minutes outside of town. But actually when there's a show happening the travel time is much longer. There was several different vendors with a variety of food and beverages to choose from. Of course it's slightly overpriced, almost all good venues are. The acoustics were par. Not as good as I had hoped but the artists I saw made up for it 10 fold. Especially HWjr. He blew the roof off the place. The seating is your typical style seating. But the main reason this place only gets 2 stars is bcuz the ABSOLUTE HELL I had when trying to leave. Drive your own vehicle. Do not even try to get a cab, lyft, uber or anything of the sort. Hire a limo if need be. We waited 2 hours before a waitress from the venue asked us if we were stranded. The funny part is we had previously set up 2 different cabs (cab type rides) just so we knew that incase one ghosted us at least the other would be there. But nope... we sat and sat and sat until the waitress gave us a lift. She was so great for helping us out. So we paid her 2 times what the cab would have charged us and we had to force her to take the money.

The place is awesome, you can tell there was so much thought put into planning the entire site!

Amazing raceway and venue equipped to host huge events as well as smaller, amateur racing. The concession prices are steep and the beer prices will make you wanna stop drinking but it is a state of the art track without a doubt.

V-room, hear the sounds of the engines roaring down the straight-a-way & across the finishline. If u've never been to a Formula 1 race, it's a must see and this is the stateside track to join in the fun. Get excited now for the race in October 2017 - sure to be a show stopper, perfect weekend or day for car enthusiasts!

Great track for watching at. Can't wait to run on it.

This place is awesome people were very friendly didn't have the food there but overall experience 100% can't wait for next year

What a blast. Thank you for hosting WRL! What an amazing course.

Was flying my Mavic around on a foggy sunrise to get some dramatic fly-in sequences, but lost connection and ended up at the top of the tower, UPSIDE DOWN! Fortunately, the security guard was kind enough to escort me to the top, so I could retrieve my aircraft. He wasn't able to unlock the elevator, so... 500+ steps to the top! Definitely not an easy climb, but that guard was a trooper! He'll probably never see this, but many thanks brother!
