I've been a to a few axe throwing establishments by now, and was excited to try a pretty local one…read morerecommended by a coworker. If you're familiar with Kersey Valley, they have a broad selection of activities throughout the year, and in this case offer both indoor and outdoor throwing. Our group couldn't get together until the evening, and I was excited to see 8pm on a Wednesday as an option. Online booking was easy, though i did find it frustrating that the minimum number of tickets is 3, which prevents this from being a couple's date night activity. No bother for us, we had three anyways. The instructions in the email said to meet by a light pole with a sign that says "escape rooms meet here". From the parking lot, that made absolutely no sense, and I did not see any signs to guide us. At 8 PM on a Wednesday, the place is vacant and it almost felt like trespassing. But we did find one random person who told us to walk past the ticket booth towards some picnic tables, and we eventually found the sign. When our "Axepert" finally found us, he made it comment that he was expecting us to be in the parking lot. This could stand to be clarified on both ends of the table. The two guys we worked with (one was in training) were professional and very friendly. They walked us down to the axe throwing area and talked about other activities offered at Kersey Valley during the walk. If we were to do it again, it seems like the outdoor axe throwing activity is the better option (more space and variety), but because we could not come until the evening we were limited to indoor for this adventure. The location of the indoor axe throwing is a relatively small building with only two lanes. There is limited seating on the other side of the chain-link fence for a few other people. You're not going to be bringing a big group here. I do appreciate that there was air-conditioning in the space on a hot Summer day. While I know that the focus is on maintaining safety, and that they want to teach you how to do the sport, at times it felt like a bit too much handholding and close direct observation. There were times where that was nice, but eventually it would be nice to allow our group to just enjoy the activity, even if we're not that good at it. I would have preferred about 10 to 15 minutes of instruction, and the remaining hour to be left as free throwing time. Overall, we had a good experience. The staff were friendly. That said, I feel like there are better options in the area which are larger spaces and allow more independent time to play. If you were already doing another activity at Kersey Valley, this would be a fun addition. But I wouldn't make a special trip just for the axe throwing.

It was an outdoor, mobile unit they had set up where you pay for a certain number of throws. Oddly enough, it was not as intuitive as I thought it'd be and definitely takes a little practice. The staff is very friendly though, and helpful with demonstrating all the ways you can throw it and offer a lot of tips as you go along. You can tell they really want you to love it as much as they do! It also happened to be competition night and I found myself in the quarterfinals before we knew it. Lots of fun! I can't wait to do this again when gathering with friends becomes safer again.

Number two, she was super helpful with helping us figure out how to distribute our weight and throw to maximize our points and skill. I got progressively better each time and even won one round!! I got several bullseyes and called the blue dot and hit it (I forget what that's called but it's good) Anyway, yes wear closed toe shoes but nothing with a platform (crocs or sneakers will do). I will absolutely be back it was a fantastic experience.

However, the owners are very helpful in providing tips to tune up your ac-throwing skills. They literally won't let you be absolutely awful (you may not be good by the time you leave ,but you won't be awful) unless you just want to be. There are light refreshments and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) available for purchase. Whether you are a party of one or with a group, you will definitely have a good time here. I definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again.

My daughters and I were looking for a rage room to get some anger and aggression out in a safe way…read more We found this location and gave it a shot. The location isn't optimal in that it's a bit tucked away (failed to get photos of the area) and I feel they'd have FAR more customers in a more visible location. That being said, gps helped us and we made it there! We arrived for a 5:00pm appointment on a Friday and we were the only ones there. I'm guessing because everyone was just getting off work. The place is very clean and neat looking. The owner Lisa greeted us and has a very calm and friendly demeanor. We all signed electronic waivers via the QR code at check in and paid up front. They also have a texting system to help make changes to your reservation, cancel appt, reminder of upcoming appointment, etc. They require a deposit of $30 to make the appointment and reserve the room. The other two people in our party paid once we got there. It was $30 for 15 minutes in the rage room. Depending on how much rage you need to work out, you may need to reserve more time! They also have a paint splatter room, ax throwing, pool table and a few other activities there. They provide coveralls, face shield, heavy duty work gloves and shoe covers. They have a speaker in the room that you can connect your music to, so YOU pick the music!! Very cool feature, I thought! Lisa was so very accommodating as she helped us get our fear on, set up a camera inside a jar in the room to record, taking our photo, etc. We really appreciated her patience and help with making it a great experience!!! There were three crates (one for each of us) filled with bottles, plates, cups, etc. for us to throw or smash with the selection of weapons provided. In addition, there was a windshield, a computer tower and a dummy and a tire (although we didn't utilize that) that you could take your aggression onto on. Obviously there are rules for safety that need to be followed but overall you're free to express your anger in ways that are therapeutic. Only adults are allowed. I think it used to be 18 but I believe they had to increase the age minimum due to some customers not following safety protocols. (They care about our safety!) I will absolutely be going back!!! For more time in the rage room, the paint splatter room AND the ax throwing! Go check it out. Then leave them what I'm sire will be a great review!!

The coaches there were great at actually taking the time to invest in teaching you how to throw, and they were very fun and enthusiastic with everyone in attendance. We were greeted at the front desk with the same friendliness and enthusiasm. The boards here were also so much better than any other I've attended. They weren't all beat up, allowing us to land more throws. I'd have to say they had my favorite axes too. They also have multiple different sizes of axes for you to try. My favorite part was that they had different types of scoring games for us to try, rather than the same scoring setup over and over. They also awarded the winner with Mardi gras beads as a trophy for each game. I would choose this place every time from this point toward, when going axe throwing. You won't regret it!
