This use to be a cool place until they announced they don’t like certain people. Sad really some might say the most sad. The greatest sad this country has seen. They started caring more for the dollar than they care about their customers. And if you say anything negative on Facebook about it they ban and block. Stick with cars and leave politics out of your business.
As you can see the owner is super unprofessional and who even mentioned CK nobody. They just come off as super whiney babies
Do NOT plan to get food here. The lines are just WAY too long and move too slowly. You are able to bring water and snacks in anyway and for THAT price, you sure as heck should be! Get your tickets online, they are cheaper (by a dollar or two after a convenience fee) but every little bit helps with a family! It's a fun time though, especially the monster trucks. Demolition derby is fun too. The tractor pulls are unlike anything I've seen, it's not just your common puttputts. This is some intense stuff! I'd like to see the no-smoking signs enforced better, but it's not abused enough to be a deterrent yet. The crowd is a little in the rougher side and parking is luck of the draw. You could be walking nearly half a mile to get in or be several hundred feet from the entrance. Oh and arrive early. Traffic is EXTREMELY bad getting in closer to 6:30. You WILL miss the opening if you don't allow time.
Went there for their monster truck show and tuff truck competition. The kids had a great time! Will be back to the next monster truck show. Oh and the prices aren't bad. Food and drinks are a bit pricey.
I wish I could leave 2 separate reviews. First the good.
The entertainment value is top notch, prices to get in are extremely reasonable, and you can bring In your own food and drinks. The check in process was smooth, and the bathrooms where clean and well appointed. My son and I had an absolute blast watching the demolition derby.
Now for the disappointing part. The food lines. We got there early with the intention of getting good seats and getting dinner at the buck. The event started at 7:00 and we got there at 5: 30, reserved our seats and then went and stood in line to get food. And kept standing there. In total we stood in line for a little over an hour before giving up and going back sit in our seats. After the demolition Derby had started I went back and stood in line for another 35 minutes (missing one of the heats) just to get a little bit of food so that my son wasn't terribly hungry.
The frustrating part is just how poorly The staff was trained, and how little prep work was done ahead of time. This was a holiday weekend and you knew it was going to be extremely busy. Limit your menu and prep ahead of time. The buck lost out on so much money simply because people were unable to give it to them.
These events are way WAY oversold. Bleachers are packed like sardines during popular events. Which wouldn’t normally be a huge deal except…the concession lines are absolutely insane. If you’re going to sell that many tickets to an event, you should probably have the food and drink part figured out? I thought it was bad last year but it was even worse this year so I guess they haven’t learned any lessons with logistics when it comes to concessions. My husband missed over a hour of the show. The owner likes to reply that you can bring your own food, which is a nice option. But it’s insane to run a venue like that and not be able to handle providing people food and drink. Do you not like making a profit? You would rather people bring in their own than figure out how to make the operation run more smoothly?
Also, the parking lot after the events are over is scary. It’s pitch black except for headlights of cars that occasionally flash over you. Maybe not bad for a group of adults but very unsettling when you have small children with you. The fact that there is no lighting and not one person directing traffic/providing crowd control is bonkers. A personal injury suit waiting to happen.
The show was pretty good but they really need to expand and make more seating . I've been going to the buck for many years and yes it's updated some but seating is not one of them
I gotta say I’ve been here before many times before and it has NEVER been this busy. At this point they are selling more tickets to people than to what the Buck can hold. Like if there were to be an accident that happens here, how is any emergency vehicles supposed to get through. This used to be a fun, family friendly place to enjoy. Now it’s not even enjoyable to watch due to too many lines having to wait 45 minutes to an hour or even longer. There’s no structure like there used to be. Honestly unless you plan on coming like 2 hours before the gates open, it’s best not to waste your money or time. Too busy, unless they plan on changing the way they run things.
One of the nicest places. Such a great atmosphere, food is a little pricey tho like 1 whole dollar for a BBQ sauce that is like 5 cents is funny. But it's an amazing place with amazing people. Shout out to the women working the merch place I asked for a medium sweatshirt she went and found it even tho I eventually said nah I'd get a long sleeve. The patrons or customers who come all seem super nice made some new friends as I came by myself this year to the rodeo and I had a blast. Genuinely an amazing place besides that dang dollar BBQ sauce lol that is the only scummy part 🤣🤣
As a newbie to demolition derbies I really appreciated the emcee telling us what was going on. There was a welcoming atmosphere. They could use some more help with concessions, but the food was good. I will definitely return!
I love going Memorial Day weekend, Independence Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. Demolition derby and a great fireworks show. What could be better.
It is a family friendly venue with great entertainment. The price is affordable and you can bring your own food in.
We went to the demolition derby. Such a good time. The announcer was great at his job. Kept the crowd hyped. I highly recommend going to the Buck for a family night. We plan to go to a couple more events this year.
Best new years eve I've had in a long time. Took the wife and kids and everyone had an excellent time. It was so much fun. All the demos were awesome. The truck drop was Fantastic. Definitely recommend going. They have events all year. Definitely going back.
Great place, lots of family-friendly fun. We did the bus demolition derby night and will definitely return. Food lines took a bit, but the entertainment was great.
We went for diesel truck night. The event was well attended and well organized. Plenty of parking, stadium seating, clean bathrooms, food and beverage choices. The big screen really highlighted events down on the track. The announcer was easy to hear and had a great sense of humor but also did a great job explaining the rules and what we were watching. A fun location for a night out with the family.
Great event. First time going back as an adult. We went many times as a kid. The kids had a great time! Seating gets tight when they sell out so be prepared. Bring a blanket or buy a comfy stadium seat. Dirt bikes and tuff trucks made it a good night on top of the monster trucks. Would definitely go again!
Illuminator was awesome!
Buck Motorsports Park & Entertainment Complex
This car show is very good, I've been there with several friends and we all really enjoyed it. There was a large audience and before the show you can pay to take a ride in two of the trucks, the big sensation of the show was a 12-year-old teenager who did radical maneuvers with his car. The road to reach the place is stunning. It's worth doing the season.
I'd definitely give it 5 stars but... This is total BS for people to be able to just lay blankets down and take up all these seats and leave and go off.. and all these people walking around ready to sit down, and have to keep moving because of all these blankets.. sorry that has to stop. They were elderly people looking for seats but nope, because of blankets to save seats!!!!! Other than that, I have no complaints.. great friendly staff, great food and drinks, nice new bathrooms.Great Derby show!!!!!!.. Ya gotta stop the saving seats with blankets.
Went to the combine demolition derby...what a great night of fun & entertainment!!! You MUST keep this a yearly event!!! Good food, well organized. Great for entire family.
Had so much fun!! Brought my 3 boys here for the mud truck event it was amazing!! Kinda excited to get back into what me and the hubby like to see!! Passing it on to the kids or even see them in it when they get older!! Great job!!
Fun experience for the kids and reasonably priced tickets. New ownership is kicking it up a notch. Great monster truck show and the motocross was an added surprise.
Love the buck! The lines for food and sometimes the restrooms wind up missing parts of the show. ALSO at the popular events there aren't enough seats for everyone. I think a reasonable about of tickets need to be sold so that the fence and ground arent over crowded. Smoking is also an issue people ignore instructions from the announcements not to Smoke. The entertainment is great no where else in this area can you enjoy a show like this.
I have been going to the Buck for over 27 years since I was 12, this place has only gotten better! It’s a great show no matter if it is Demo Derby, Monster trucks, Tractor Pulls, or my favorites Tuff Trucks and Mud-bogs! There is always something new to see! The staff are great, helpful and hard working! I can’t wait to “See you at the Buck!”
