How far do you travel to karate?

I want to start my kids in karate (and maybe give myself a reason to start too..). There is a karate 100m from my house. They did a couple of trial classes, but it's not typical karate and they mostly play karate-ish games, which is fine because they're 5 and 7. I don't love the tactic the sempai seemed to use by awarding the kids their white belt before they'd even discussed costs or the schedule with - roping the kids in. There is another karate that I think would be better, but it's a 20 min drive. The kids classes are 30mins, so I'd be losing about 50- 60mins for a 30 minute class (60 mins I guess if both kids are doing separate classes). I don't know if it's worth the travel time or not. Costs are roughly the same but the close one is more expensive to join.

Thanks
