Circuit of the Americas Reviews

I paid a lot of money to attend the USGP. For that amount of money, I'm not sure I got my ROI. The parking was archaic at best and caused a massive backup. And I basically killed my shoes from the mud that was EVERYWHERE.

We went there for a concert and the parking was crazy expensive and you had to walk a long ways to get to the stage. I am not a fan of this place for concerts.

Went to see the P!nk concert and it was so very good!

Went to see the Austin Bold FC home opener, and as far as USL stadium experience, this bar far the best. Great views of the field from from just about anywhere, the food was good, and the beer great. I'd definitely go back for some more games.

Great track!!! Consistant surface even when raining.

It's our first time here and we are absolutely loving it so far! Good food, great views, an awesome experience even in rain!

Great venue..
100.000 + attendees and zero crowd issues. If you love racing and enjoy a fun city...then by all means come to Austin.

Exciting Arrey of Event'z Pluz All Khyind'z of Ryace'z, Koncert'z & Da Food & Drink Is Off Da Chain, I Little Expenzive Though!

Working as an event specialist, this is the best track by far that I ve ever got the chance to work with. People are friendly, track is kept up with and it s a great location.

USGP is always a blast! COTA is a great track and venue, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Turn 15 is the place to be for exciting racing!

It was great!!!! Three concerts in a row can't beat it.

Great Venue with ample parking including shuttle service with a great selection of food and beverages to enjoy.

Its big track with a lot of twist.
Clean.
You can also try go kart

Track was in really good condition and was a blast to drive. The Champ cars are great if your over 16 and have a driver's license. The carts had good power but they weren't over powered, acceleration was not what you would get in some of the electric carts out there, hut top speed was fairly easy to hit on the straightaway.

Traffic control was less than desirable. The facilities where clean and organized well. If you plan on going to an F1 event do your homework on the parking situation.

Go karting was great. Circuit was outdoor and big. Highly recommend coming here

Wide open but with great views of the track from the general admission areas. Lots to see and do while wandering around the track, and amazing to see the entire spectacle. Traffic management is decent getting in and out of the grand prix... In the sense that you'll only have to wait about an hour or so - plan accordingly

I came here for Xgames and the place was awesome. I want to come back for F1 at some point.

Excellent race track for F1.. Just dont take any kind of camera stand or selfie stick, they will take it away at the door!

Cool venue. Terrible entrance and exit for parking, and only one way in or out.

Professional staff, track and Karts well maintained

Interesting experience but great because we attended for free. Cool place and nice attendant

Good track but they have no idea how to do the shuttles. We were told that all the shuttles were going to be full before they arrived at our stop. It could be a couple hours until we could get on a shuttle. My handicapped wife ended up having to walk all the way to the entrance. We had to stop several times and now she is in so much pain I may have to take her to the hospital. I will NOT be back.

Be prepared to walk a bit to get in. They only allow you to carry in one (sealed) water bottle. After that be prepared to pay. They need more restrooms.

Came for the Ferrari Challenge and was not at all disappointed. It is very expensive here though.

If you're not having fun here it's your own fault! Was here for the inaugural F1 race, and just about every other race since. The staff is super friendly. I consider it my second home.

Pretty good for a race venue. Port a Potties were clean, venue staff were very friendly. Need to work on transportation, especially between turns 1 and 11.

Had a great time with my son and dad doing the karting. Will definitely be going back.

Great place specially during the artists tour a good and organized parking zones

Great track and some good facilities in terms of food, drinks, seating and restrooms. 1st corner is the best seating for sure.

Bucket list, check! Team building event driving this world renowned F1 circut was a blast. Will have a whole new appreciation for Vettle going around turn 11 at twice the speed we were allowed to. If you have the opportunity to experience driving here...do it.

Awesome looking racetrack, didn t get to watch a race there but did enjoy the karting. The karting is worth going for.

Really amazing facility. We're lucky to have such a high level track in the States.

They have a go kart track there and it was a lot of fun. Big track with room to pass people. Great go karting experience!

Beautiful Drive through Christmas Presentation. Cool Kiddy Carnival at the end of the light show. Christmas movies are playing on big screen as you drive through.

Excellent race track for F1.. Just dont take any kind of camera stand or selfie stick, they will take it away at the door!

Love the F1 races there. Very glad to see the Indy series there too. If Moto GP is your thing, they have that too! Vintage races, killer kart track, excellent concerts and so much more. If they had a drag strip it would be the premier racing facility on the planet. It's darn close now!

GO BOLD!!!!!!

The track is amazing but my favorite thing is the Austin Bold. The players are Uber talented, the fans are passionate, and the views of the rolling hills at sunset make for wonderful memories.

Super place to see a concert. I was here in the summer. It's a little out of center city. Most cab drivers were not familiar with it. I had to use my own GPS.
The parking lot is huge and the shuttle buses do take time. Come early and be ready to leave in traffic.
You can share a ride with the many waiting cabs at the entrance to take you back to the airport where the buses start.
The lines are very long and you will wait for a very long time to get beer, ice cream, candy or other snacks. The bathrooms can accommodate many fans. I sat by the stage and there are many guards to seat you.
Next level up the seats have cushions and those looked more comfy.

Stage is fine with 2 large TVs on the side.
Grounds were clean.

Quite accessible and comfortable to watch the races

I go to COTA every month for Cars and Coffee. I recently tried out the gokarts. They are a blast and aren't for just driving around for fun. The course takes some good driving skill, so be prepared to follow the right lines!:)

Make sure even if you pay a pass and you have a limo service that the police will close the gate and made you walk all the way out to get picked up by your driver

Awesome race. Great range of food and the views are astonishing;-) only thing I would improve is the stands. When temperatures are hitting 30-40 degrees (80-90 degrees faranheit) you definitely need some shade and thats the thing that they're lacking. Other than that, great place for a race.
#GO lewis!

F1 weekend is one of my favorite times to visit this amazing place

I was here for the winter wonder Christmas light. So spreaded. The petting zoo was fun.

I bought my sister tickets for the Justin Timberlake concert this past Saturday. We parked in Lot Q a few miles down and took a shuttle to the racetrack. They told us to meet right back where they dropped us off and they have 15 buses doing runs to get everyone at the end of the night. We had an amazing day watching the race before the concert had started. Lots of food and drink tents. I didn't realize how big this place was! Definitely bring comfy shoes! I really wish the concert was longer than an 1hr 1/2 for the price.(not the COTAs fault) What made us leave the venue absolutely pissed was that we waited for our shuttle to pick us up for TWO Hours. (Longer than the actual concert) We were picked up by Turn 11 which was on a hill so we can overlook the track. This is also where the tent for the staff go to clock out and turn in their shirts and badges. We were watching crowds of staff leave and the racetrack completely clear out. There was a few hundred people in this line waiting for the whole 4 buses to take people to their cars. Just after midnight we finally got a bus that was not even for us. The driver said he was on the other side of the track and they needed help getting people back to Lot Q. We saw a line of buses come help after we left. We will still come back but Never EVER park in Lot Q! They will forget you!

My first time at COTA was for the X Games and I was treated like a prisoner in a FEMA camp by all the staffers. When I would ask someone who gets paid to work there a question, they always have some smart ass remark, as if you were an inconvenience them. Also, I had some crazy authoritative staffer threaten to take my son's father "down to county" for simply asking a question about the exit options. But, the most unacceptable behavior was when my son and I were leaving after a concert, and the staffer at the exit tried to stop my 10 YEAR old son because he was reaching in his pocket and she wanted to know what it was. As if he was some sort of threat???? Are you serious? I have NEVER in all my life been treated with such disrespect and suspicion like I did here. Because of this I will not be going back.

Great place to watch a concert. Mastadon and Primus were awesome

CotA is a very cool venue to see concerts and races.

The facilities are good, but the roads leading to it are a disaster. Who builds a sports facility with a 100K people capacity, and the only way to get to it is through one-lane county roads?

Great venue. Although prices on refreshments a bit high

Fantastic venue. Have been for multiple events, the place is always great. Don't miss a chance to come out!

My favorite place on the whole planet... When I die I want my ashes to be scattered here

Holiday wonderland was fun for romantic date, entire family, or give yourself a treat. Singing trees were my favorite. The ice rink was not much fun. There was no way you could maneuver ice skates with no sharpened blades on the tips and the edges of the skates. The surface was made out of some type of acrylic, not ice. I immediately fell on my rear. Thankfully I did not get injured. Overall I had a great time at the festivities!

Had so much fun 1st time here! Vintage Car Races! #upcloseVIP

Great racing venue! Good food and beer. Very friendly staff.

Great facility and an awesome track layout! Definitely will plan on coming back here for the F1 race!

One of the most exciting go-kart places I have been to and I would say this is really better than the others. It was my first time and I had a really great time. Guess what? It was jus me and my friends because people were busy watching super bowl.!
