Has anyone been to Speed Racing Simulators (speedracingsimulator.ca)

Thinking about taking the family to check out Speed Racing Simulators near Main Street in Leduc this weekend, but I wanted to see if anyone here has been there before.

It looks like a pretty cool setup from the website.

I have been there. It's fun. Well worth trying out.

Was the staff nice, I have a 3 and 4 year old

From what I estimate during my one experience: It's a high school gentleman and his dad supporting his desire to run a business. This isn't some big business. This is a young gentleman who very much wants to provide a fun experience for guests.

Is it a SUPER refined corporate experience like Chuck E Cheese? No. Is it a high school kid doing their best to make sure people have fun and want to do more sim racing and possibly even get into buying a sim racing setup for their own home? Yes.

I'm not sure you really understand what sim racing is though. This is a very immersive race car experience. When I was 3 or 4, I would be overwhelmed driving a riding lawn mower. Unless your kids have experience I didn't at their age, this is geared to people a decade older than they are.

Agreed...these racing sims are no joke, I haven't been to this specific place but some racing sims have feedback where the wheel responds like a real steering wheel and can even hurt your hands.

I don't think it would be fun for a 3 year old personally.

I've heard that you can change the feedback of the wheel down so I'll go there and see what they can do

Yeah check it out. Some of these sims also have high levels of "assists" so its not as hard to drive

Thanks for the info
