Circuit of the Americas Reviews

We went out there for our sons bd.. It was awesome... He really enjoyed it

The track itself is nice. I was there for the Winter Wonderland which was okay but not worth the expense.

Impressive location. Went for the COTA Kart Racing w a group of friends and had a blast. Definitely recommend it

Super cool track and very fun place. Lots to do and see. Not a lot of cover or shelter from the elements so if it's hot or super sunny you might want to bring some kind of umbrella. Lots of great places to walk and get different views. Place can be a bit pricey.

The place was awesome. From the cars to the track and everything in between made the place a definite place for people to see.

Good place for racing events and concerts. Attendance during F1 is massive, and traffic is very heavy. During non F1 events things should be more manageable. Circuit is very modern and well equipped.

Bad acoustics for concerts, but nice lawn area for cheaper seats to take the family. F1 races ok if you like to watch cars go around in a circle, but very crowded and lots of dusty walking.

Visited to watch the local Austin Bold soccer team play. Nice, clean stadium that puts you close to the game. Nice venue.

Great place to see a show. Small so no seat is a bad one.

I went to see Bruno Mars and it was a terrible set up.

We attended a music festival and there was absolutely no shade anywhere. We had to pay $85/person for access to a tent to escape the sun.

Been here twice once for IMSA and one for Formula 1. Excellent track, racing is always on point, and good sightlines

I've only been here for musical acts, not sure about actual races. Incubus and the Dirty Bird BBQ were great though.

Fantastic F1 race track, feel privileged to have actually raced and won on this track several times in SCCA and NASA events.

The US GP F1 race was amazing and really highlighted how great this track can be. The event was well executed, except for a lack of vendors/sponsors representing the racing teams. I suspect this is due to contractual issues with the event itself rather than the track, and it would be a shame to review the track poorly for shortcomings in this particular event. The venue is great, the track is amazing, and it is amazing to be able to continue to host F1 races in the US along with all of the other great races at this track.

Words cannot begin to describe the quality, grandeur, and overall feeling of excitement you get at the F1 Track/Circuit of the Americas/Austin360Amphitheater facility in Austin, Texas. It is apparent that no expense was spared in the design and execution of this enormous world class facility and the services it provides its guests. After visiting the track many times, and actually talking with a few of the Formula One drivers personally, who commented that it was probably the best F1 track in the world, I cannot recommend the experience highly enough. You MUST visit this track and it's facilities for yourself to see what I am talking about. It is one of the best overall experiences around

One of the best days I've had in a while was here. I visited the super lap battle, drift event, and was lucky enough to catch a cars and coffee I didn't know about beforehand.

Great parking and shuttle service. Beautiful Christmas lights get a 5! Prices for food and other activities are very high!

Good sound. Too hot in summer. Parking is the pits. But they get good acts in all the time, so stay hydrated. They do have places to refill wayer bottles. Believe them when they say if its open you can not bring in a water bottle.

America's only dedicated F1 track. Drive it yourself! Plenty of driving school's out there.

Fantastic Formula One circuits near Austin with world class facilities and some great races on the calendar year round (MotoGP, IMSA, WEC & F1 to name a few). Great fun and so many great places to watch the race.

Very nice facility. Staff helpful but ignorant. We enjoyed F1 race in some spectacular seats at main grandstands. Would definitely go again.

It was difficult to find where we were supposed to sit and once we did, the people around us were so rude. We kept getting kicked and pushed and someone stepped on my elderly, disabled mother's hand. It was so untenable that we left before the headliner took stage.

If you are into a motorsport and come to Austin this is a mandatory pit stop! Very nice circuit easily discoverable on the foot. If you come for a lower ranked races you might even get to a paddock very close to cars or bikes for free! Love this place and go every time I can!

Went there for the first grand m race and lone star lemans and it was good

Been here a dozen times. Great speaker system (bring concert earplugs, especially in pit), HUGE GA pit (this is where you want to be if you don't mind standing, as there's pretty much always ample room if you need personal space but also want to be near the band, and hopefully your show doesn't have reserved pit seating, which is lame as hell), but terrible atmosphere in seating with tons of disrespectful talkers, completely uncovered (has its pros & cons), and insanely overpriced alcohol courtesy of LiveNation. Parking/traffic has improved drastically since they opened the north entrance/exit, but there are still dirt parking lots/walkways, so hopefully it hasn't been raining! Some parking is far from the amphitheater, so unless you wait for a tram, you'll be walking almost a mile (wear tennis shoes).
It takes a great act to get me out here.

The parking is a mess, $9 beer and $12 hotdogs but COTA is a good time. Loved going to the USGP and will go back. $$$$

Went for the F1. Great track. Take the paddle carts to the uber...

My boyfriend and I are regulars at our track 21 in Katy so racing here was pretty dope. The staff were all polite and fun, the karts were well kept, and it made for a great experience. Three races is plenty for those who are experienced and maybe on a budget. Would try to avoid racing on the champ karts if you aren t comfortable because some people can be aggressive. I like that the system is set up to send you your time sheets through email. Cota is worth the money.

Experience a formula 1 race. Fast cars and herds if international spectators.

Great place to hear a concert. Shuttled to and from parking lot. Excellent sound system

They make parking for tens of thousands about as simple as it can be. Good venue with nice landscaping and the 360 amphitheater is just awesome.

I love this place and the beers and food ! Everything about the place is Awesome! Perfect for the races :)

Was invited to test drive Porsches at COTA. I'm not a "car person" and this was BY FAR one of the coolest things I've had the pleasure of doing! No complaints at all, all the Porsche people were informative and extremely accommodating and friendly, and I got to drive 6 different awesome cars for free!

Visited for Womens soccer. The stands get very hot with little to no wind. The other stands are directly in the sun. Not ideal in 100+ weather. Kind of feel the stands were built not thinking of the weather or visitors. Fans would be great to get some air flow going as stands block wind too. Food is ok but overpriced especially if feeding 6. Will return as the place holds many great artists and events. Be prepared to be hot but the benched areas give some shade if needed.

i love that we have this race track in texas. they are always having events there.

I have been to different race tracks all over the country ...COTA is definitely one of the best! The parking is organized and easy to get to. The facilities are top notch and very clean. I liked that I had good seats...but it wasn t an issue to walk around and get some different views and take some pics. If you haven t seen a race here....I highly recommend it! Especially if it s an F1 race! The technology that goes into the cars is unbelievable and it makes for some great racing!

World class motorsports race track and entertainment venue

Always enjoy my time at the facility. A must visit location for numerous racing, karting, corporate, and concert events!

Saw Pennywise and Bad Religion here, great venue, not a bad seat

Very nice place. Always had great time at concerts. Shuttles take u from parking lot to event. Very easy to get around. VIP area supper nice as well. Not a bad seat in the house.

It's the Circuit of the Americas... enough said. Whether you're here for Formula 1, MotoGP, a concert at the Austin 360 Ampitheater, or to cheer on the Austin Bold FC, this family friendly venue does not disappoint.

The track is great. The logistics of getting into the facility are terrible. It can take well over an hour sitting in traffic to get in. COTA has not figured out how to efficiently get people into the parking areas and they oversell the parking lots, so you may not get a spot that you bought in advance. Bleachers very tight-expect to have someone's knees in your back.

We went here for the F1 race and it was absolutely amazing.

Staff is awesome here. Facilities are top notch and so much fun!

There for gig (The National). Amphitheatre was class. Staff were brilliant, facilities were really good

Love this track have been here a few times for Moto Gp including the first time.
Wellworth being there Friday afternoon for track walk.
I recommend vip because it includes food and drinks and paddock access

Sundays Grand Prix wait time to enter the track (ticket scanning and security) was well over an hour. Additional entrances were finally opened just minutes before race time. Extremely stressful after paying over a $1,000 per ticket.
I have attended other Grand Prix, Lollapalooza, Vegoose and Bonnaroo. Sunday at COTA was amateur hour. Come on! You know how many people are coming, staff the entrance accordingly.

Spectacular race track, mainly open-air. Located southeast of the Austin Airport, situated on rolling hills.

I had a wonderful time watching Hamilton win. Jeremy at the Velocity bar was superb and all staff members were professional and knowledgeable. I felt safe.

Just lots of folks.and lots of really ausome cars..

If you've never been to a moto G P race then this is the place to get to see one of you are a motorcycle person. They come once a year to COTA, circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas. The traffic is horrible 24/7 and you can expect a lot of wind but on the upside the track is very nice, plenty of consesions and all facilities are nice and clean! Get tickets for turn 15, great view!! I hope that you enjoy!!

First time out to the track for an event, this track is HUGE, the venue is set up in the center are and it's also MASSIVE. The show was amazing, phenomenal production value, best date night in a long while!

Edgeaddicts HPDE, F1, karting....

Awesome experience and great facilities.

Amazing track. Great layout. Bring your walking shoes!

Not easy to navigate around so watch for signs. Track is really cool.

Well designed track for spectators in addition to racers with lots of bridges and tunnels to get arround.

Love this venue. Friendly employees and great viewing areas.

Incredible race track! Place is massive with so much to do there. Really a great experience. Highly recommended
