Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Manitoba, Manitoba

Axe Throwing is a sport generally associated with loggers and lumberjacks, but we've brought the sport to Winnipeg (6-1393 Border Street) and turned it into a fun and exciting activity far more satisfying than miniature golf and laser tag. Bad Axe throwing is rated top-ranked activity for "Fun Activities & Games” according to TripAdvisor. It has proven popular with social gatherings along the lines of team-building exercises and birthday events. We have qualified instructors that will teach you the rules, safety precautions and basic techniques of hurling hatchets across a room, and by the end of the session participants can face off in fun games and a mini-tournament. We're the premier destination for birthday parties, corporate events, bachelor & bachelorette parties, any special occasions, or people looking for a fun outing with friends. Whether it's to pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill, our unique axe throwing experience is done in a fun & casual urban atmosphere.
