We did the Wizarding Room and had a blast. Jhase was the host, and he was awesome and super helpful. There were two of us, and we literally got down to the last two minutes. We found it challenging, in a good way, and definitely plan to come back to check out the Jungle Room.

Section 37 Axe Room

Reviewed By siankos - Caldwell, United States

We went with another couple on a Friday night. They had thrown before and we had not. It took me awhile to catch on, not sure if I ever actually did. The experience was fun regardless of my lack of axe throwing talent. We will definitely go back. Also, the staff was fun and helpful!
