When my sister told me tbere was an axe-throwing place in Springfield, I didn't believe her. When I finally DID, we HAD TO go, and we were not disappointed!! It's definitely a bit different, but I adored that about this place! If you don't know how to toss an axe, that's fine - THEY TEACH YOU! They even show you a couple of different methods so you pick what you're most comfortable with, then it's all you. Staff are all super nice and patient while teaching you. You can get in separate lanes (a bit like bowling) and throw at targets. Once you feel comfortable, you can compete against your friends! It was a great time had by all, and not only do I highly reccommend this place, but plan on returning soon myself!

Your 60 or 90 minute axe-throwng experience begins by meeting your coach and listening to a safety briefing. Then the fun begins! Your friendly axe-throwing coach will teach you how to throw, and ultimately, stick your axe! When everybody in the group is ready, your coach will lead you in a variety of fun games that will be competitive and also help you increase your level of skill.

Initially. I was just going to watch my husband and two boys throw, but after sitting and watching them throw, I thought to myself, “I think I could do that!” After the coach gave me some instructions, I was able to throw a few axes. Then he gave me some tips on how to improve. And the next thing I knew, the Axe was sticking! What a thrilling rush! During the competition between the family, I was able to beat them all!!! I think I found my new sport!

We came here with another couple as a date night out. It was so much fun! The staff are very welcoming and informative. They were helpful and they made it so fun! We enjoyed it so much we tried the prize lane and 2 of the 4 of us won prizes. They even gave us each a coupon for our next visit. They had a nice selection of drinks, corn hole, giant jenga, and of course the awesome axe throwing. They offer different specials on different nights so we plan to go again and try some of their other throwing weapons! What a blast! Professional and fun people creating a thrilling fun atmosphere!
