Palmer's Family Fun — Attraction in Waterloo

I took my two granddaughters to Palmers Family Fun to specifically ride the Go-Karts. My youngest granddaughter was a year too young to ride the big go-carts. However they had smaller ones that she could drive all by herself rather than share one with me. My oldest granddaughter and I got our own. These go-carts were fast and so much fun. I haven't laughed so hard like that in a very long time. The track itself is great. I never braked once nor did my oldest granddaughter. We probably should have in a few places but we are both dare devils when it comes to go-carts. The cost was reasonable as well as the time allowed on the track. Although I think we three could have driven even longer. The employees were nice. Helped people in and out of the go-carts. They stayed on the track at different places. If someone was having trouble they were right on top of it. They acted like they truly wanted the guests to have the absolute best time possible. I want to return. May even go by myself if my granddaughters are not available. Last thing - Palmer's Family Fun is a clean and safe place...

My nephew was moving out of state. I brought him here to have a good time. So I looked up all the info online. When I read the go-karts were 7 and up, I was thinking my nephew is 9 perfect. So we go. No where on signage or on the website do they say that anyone under 10 can’t drive the regular cars. So as we get up there my nephew is directed to smaller slower cars. My grandmother approached the “owner”. He was very rude right off the gate like he was too busy to worry about the needs or questions from paying customers. I will not ever go here again and will tell everyone I know, including my social media pages, how this place is not somewhere to take your loved ones. Hes going to say something about insurance policy. Although allows his employees to allow it under certain circumstances....

The people that run palmer's are the best. BUT, Thursday night, August 15th, we were there at 8 pm. I'm 6p, and my husband and I were taking our grandkids on the go-karts, and there was a family party there, a 6'2", 70 yr old man in a blue shirt and white shorts was in a gocart with a child and was ramming others on the track just to be first, he side-swiped my granddaughter, hit my husband's cart, pushed my grandsons cart and T-boned me on a curve, spinning me all around and my back was so sore I couldn't ride them again. The go-carts have a big sticker by the steering wheel that says"no bumping". We've been going there for years and never was the carts such a painful nightmare! It's friday and I'm still icing my back. Employees should have stopped that cart...
