Included Party Perks
Reserved Race Times
We know kids hate waiting for things – especially when it’s something fun. Our reserved times ensure you race when you want to. This is exclusive to our group events like kids birthday parties.
The Ultimate Photo-Op
From racing action shots to silly podium celebrations, there’s plenty of social media photo gold waiting for you at K1 Speed.
Fun Digital Party Invitations
Every party includes fun digital party invitations (we call them e-vites) that you can email or print out for your guests. These exciting invitations are sure to create a buzz for your party and will leave your guests counting down the days till race day!
The Kids Get To Feel Like Pros!
The kids experience a simulation of what professional racers experience. This means they’ll qualify, line up on the starting grid, and RACE.
Podium Celebrations and Cool Giveaways
There’s no worthless “participation” award here. Instead, the kids will have to earn their medal by finishing in the top three. And when they do, they’ll be rightly celebrated on our podium. Of course, the birthday kid also gets an award and a chance to step on the podium. Because hey, it’s their birthday!
Private Racing
Who wants to race with strangers? Instead, the kids will only race with their friends!
1 Hour Party Room / Reserved Space
You’re going to want to celebrate your kid’s birthday party in our party room at K1 Speed Des Moines. That’s why we’ve included it in our party package! When the kids are finished racing, you’ll get one free hour in our private party room (or a reserved space depending on availability) for your meal and birthday celebrations.

Why K1 Speed is the Best Venue For Kids Birthday Parties in Des Moines
Here are just some of the reasons that K1 Speed has become the best place for kids birthday parties in Des Moines County.
The Easiest Party to Plan
For most people, planning a successful birthday party can be challenging. But at K1 Speed, we’ve made sure our party planning process is the easiest you’ve ever experienced. Let our friendly event planners do the hard work for you so you can just relax and look forward to the event.
We Clean Up So You Don’t Have To
Birthday parties are always fun until it ends and you’re left with a mound of trash to pick up. But you don’t have to worry about that here. We’ll clean up and take out the trash for you so you can get on with the rest of your day or evening.
A Kid’s Birthday Party Even Adults Can Enjoy!
Most adults hate going to kids birthday parties. There are only so many rounds of clowns, bouncy castles, and costumed characters that adults can endure. However, that’s not the case here. At K1 Speed, adults can have just as much fun as the kids. Our electric adult karts are super fast and speed up to 45mph in a matter of seconds. So even the grown ups can enjoy their own fun competition amongst themselves!
