Rating this place based on how much fun I had. Nothing else ! Drink as much as possible and throw some axes , that’s the key to hitting the target every time ! If you are good with your preferred/dominant hand, here is the challenge — try with your weaker hand ! It’s fun …

Wayne is the best. He showed us what to do in under 3 minutes. My wife & 3 daughters were killing it shortly after. Such a great guy, such a great place. Had so much fun as a family. Thanks Wayne!

It was...okay. Called to make reservations but didn't tell us until we got there that there was no food or drink being served because they lost their liquor license due to renovations. So we showed up hungry with no food to be served. Cost $30 a person and we have been axe throwing in town for less but this one was closer to us so we thought we would give it a try. At the other place we went instructions were given phenomenally but here they were very rushed and my friend who had never been axe throwing before had no idea what she was doing because it was explained so poorly. We were also never checked on. Employees just sat behind the desk on her phone. Couple other things that I thought were weird are the wood chips that you have to walk over while you have an axe, just kinda seems dangerous. And then the throwing stalls are so close I have no idea what someone would do if there was another party next to them. Would recommend if you really want to try it out but wasnt super satisfied. Also only had one style of axe to throw.

Had a great time here for a guy's weekend - throwing axes was a blast & their laser tag arena is top notch!

Had a great time awesome place.... the only reason I took off 1 star is the bartender.. she wasn't great at all.. was with a group of 11 she could've gotten Hella tips but we couldn't find her... other than that fun time by all!!

Great team building experience! Our group had so much fun competing, coaching and cheering each other on! Wayne and Eve were great for our private event! Highly recommend!!

was super fun enjoyed throwing axes and the impromptu escape room. will be coming back.

First time here. Had a blast! Ready to go again. They are also escape rooms.

What a fun place! Next time we will try a escape room. Need more bathrooms. Had a great time!

This place is TERRIBLE! The roid-raging manger is completely amateur. Escape rooms are broken, liquor bottles are dirty, I had to point out the dirty drinks. When questioned manager kicked us out. Please put this place out of business, customers deserve WAY more.
