1 / 3Race Ya
📍 Staten Island, NY
Private go-kart birthday venue on Staten Island for ages 5+. Staff manage setup, decorations, entertainment, and cleanup so parents can focus on celebrating. Both racing and Glam Ya options available.
We had an amazing time at Race Ya! Tara was so easy to work with, honest, and even talked me out of extras I didn’t need. The decorations were included and looked great, and the venue itself is gorgeous with high ceilings and a unique track. Our hostesses, Gina and Juliette, were absolutely wonderful with the kids... so patient, fun, and organized that all the parents actually got to relax 😂 Everything ran smoothly, cleanup was quick, and the food was delicious. It was such a stress-free experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a party place, STOP LOOKING because this is it! Highly recommend! They also have Glam Ya for events beyond racing!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids 5+ planning a birthday party who want a fully managed celebration. Particularly strong for mixed-gender or twin parties given the dual Race Ya and Glam Ya concept. Tara handles planning honestly — reviewers note she actively talked parents out of unnecessary add-ons.

“We had my son's birthday party here and it was great! They were very accomodating by giving us a rock n roll theme as per my sons request. The staff was great in setting up and keeping the kids entertained with the car races and playing games with them. Overall great atmosphere and great party!!! Highly reccomend!!!”
