We signed up for an hour of axe throwing, but got to spend the last ten minutes throwing daggers as well, which was nice. When members of our group found an axe or dagger difficult to succeed with, the employee volunteered alternates and gave some tips. The hour flew by.
Upside, easy to book online. Downside, the mandatory tip plus taxes cost as much as adding another person to our group.

We had a great time at Axe and Grind. The staff were extremely helpful in perfecting our techniques and were great cheerleaders to get us confident! We had a group of 4 and the 1 hour time frame was the perfect amount of time. This was all of our first experiences with axe throwing and it exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Axe and Grind for making this such a great experience!

This is a lot of fun! It also helps my husband and I to relieve stress. The workers are really nice and take the time to teach you how to throw, and they will spend more time encouraging you and offering tips if you are feeling unsure. I was so nervous and eventually my confidence began to build. As long as you follow their safety guidelines, you won't get hurt. They also do knife throwing but I haven't tried that yet. I have had a really hard time during the pandemic and I could feel it relieving two years of pent up frustration and stress. This is as much therapeutic as fun. It's also a really great workout for your shoulders. Definitely give this place a try!

So much fun! Ben was very welcoming and gave us a quick lesson. After that, my husband and I played quite a few games to see who made it up to 20 points first. An hour is lots of time for this activity. Would be great for teenagers as well as adults.

I took my son and his friends there for his 15th birthday. I have to say it was a fantastic choice. Not only did the kids have a blast, but parents also came and got to enjoy throwing axes as well. I have been several times before and the have always loved it. The staff were fantastic and so helpful in teaching everyone so they could enjoy themselves. I can't wait to go again with soon!

Lucas is an awesome dude! Great teacher and wonderful host. Had so much fun there. An hour is plenty of time to get some serious throwing in, with many different styles of axe. Super cool

Had an awesome time, staff was very friendly and helpful.
My only complaint was parking. I arrived about 5-10mins early and there was no parking available near the facility so we had to park down the road. So we ended up being a few minutes late. By the time we were settled and the staff told us what to do we only threw axes for about 35-40 mins. There was nobody else waiting so you think they would've let us have an extra 10-15mins so our full hour was used.
All good though. I'll still go back just will be more aware of parking and staff.

Had a great time! David was fantastic and very helpful. It was our first time throwing and we felt welcomed and David gave great instruction and always was available to help. It’s a great way to spend an hour and worth every penny!

It was our first time throwing axes (and knives). Great activity with friends or family (with teenagers). The children described it as "satisfying" and it was a great way to clear my mind after a busy day at work. There are other rooms with golf simulators and a couple of VR games. It is quite a physical activity... the next day, I could not feel my arms and shoulders!

Our twin 8 year olds attended their week long summer camp. They are hard to please and get bored relatively quick. Each night they were excited to go back and throw axes, knives and playing different games. In fact they want to book their next birthday there.

Hey, yes we are wheelchair accessible, we have to enter from an adjoining unit. So we just need some to notice to make sure the route is clear.
