Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 2.7 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Burbank instead of crossing town between them. K1 Speed Burbank is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Ralph Foy Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to families and families with kids who want a planned Burbank outing without improvising between stops.
