Tried this place for our team Christmas event. Fun to learn something new. I was terrible but the instructor Josh was really nice and gave tips and hints until I got it. He showed several techniques to try. It's super satisfying like a great golf shot when you finally nail it. read more

Came here as part of a work team building event. Overall ace throwing is pretty fun. Like a more aggressive night of darts! The place seems pretty new and has cool modern industrial lighting. That said I found the bathrooms quite dirty. The staff was not very personable. And although they did their part in explaining the technique, they could have brought more energy, as we all came in pretty excited to try something new and different. We probably spent a few hours there and they did some game score keeping after we practiced for a bit. Then they left to go count up the points and it seemed like forever before they came back. I think it's still a fun event and they have clubs if you're right into it, but I just think the staff could make it more enjoyable if they showed more energy. read more

This was my first booking at the Axe. I had booked a party of 4 for drop in axe throwing. When we arrived it turned out they had a party of 2 and another party of 5 so they added the group of 2 to our throwing lane. There were only two lanes available. This was like booking a bowling lane but after arrival being told other people we bowling with you. I had booked this for my nephew for a 12th birthday. Unfortunately the boys ended up sitting a lot waiting for us to rotate. My husband and I opted to sit out to allow the boys more time. I have been to other venues where you get an entire lane per person and can throw the entire time so this was a HUGE disappointment. I was impressed by the various weaponry we were shown to throw but again, not enough time to actually practice rotating 6 people through two lanes. I was happy with the instruction but it felt too confined, like a classroom setting. I would not recommend this for kids and definitely will not go back. If this venue intends to be successful they need to have more booking options and disclose what you are really paying for. I should not have to book a PRIVATE event to have a lane to myself with my people. read more

I came here this past weekend for a birthday celebration. To start off, we had booked it for a group event from 6pm-8pm, but didn't get to start until past 6:30pm due to the place having double booked our reservation. However, they did ensure that we end promptly at 8pm (hello 10 minute countdown). We had one of their employees stay with us during the duration of our axe throwing to teach us how to handle the axes appropriately. However, other than that, he never organized any games or competition amongst our group. I've visited the other axe throwing venue (BATL) in Calgary and that place is a much better choice for various reasons: 1) Much larger space. Axe Throwing has two small sections available only, so only two group reservations are allowed at once. With us having a group booking, we took over one of the two sections available, and since we were a larger group, we were all squished into a small confined space, where majority of us were found standing next to each other. 2) More organized team 3) Higher energy due to the workers leading us to get involved in some axe throwing games At the end of the night, the cost came to $45 per person, which is the individual cost for a group booking (regardless of how big your group is). We had a group of ~20 people, so it was $45 for less than 30 mins of axe throwing time. Axe throwing is a neat thing to try out once in your lifetime, but if you plan on trying it out as a one-time experience, I would recommend BATL instead. read more

My buddy and I were planning on doing something fun for my last day in the country and we decided to drive all the way to axe throwing Calgary, don't bother if you are planning on a walk in at 8pm. When we arrived a very uninviting staff member "welcomed" us at the door by locking it before we could even go in saying that you need a 24hr notice for booking. I get that that is policy but when there is literally nobody inside that is just ridiculous. Your lazy staff clearly had plans and didn't bother to give us the time of day. Absolutely great business model guys! read more

Conveniently within 5 blocks walking distance of Chinook LRT, this is the closest axe throwing to my house, so I'm excited to watch this operation grow in scope. On my first visit they were in process of getting their liquor license. I'm patiently waiting while they find their legs, because they have a slick website, and a smooth operation, to get me rapidly connected with my quality axe time! The menu offers tempting food in a cozy and rustic lounge setting. I really like the log bench and the polished log table in the design of an axe target. It would be great if they offered Crokinole to play while waiting! I found the staff friendly and helpful. They have axe-sharpening onsite, which is great if you're bringing your own axe. They also have a variety of axes for sale. I picked up an Estwing hatchet (with steel throughout) to complement my wooden handled hatchet, so I can become proficient with both! Overall I had a good time and I'll definitely go back. Looks like they're developing opportunities for league play, which makes the experience more affordable and even more fun! 4.5 stars for now. I expect they're going to get better and better! read more

AXE Throwing Calgary - No - the facility isn't carpeted. I took a picture of my shiny new axe at home. - Axe Throwing Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

As a group of 5 we did the Sunday drop in and had a blast! We hooked up with the group beside us so shared two lanes between the 7 and played a couple games. I wish that the coach was a bit more hands on offering help and advice because at the end when the guy came back he taught us more in the 30 minutes than the gal. He spent some time showing us tricks shots and different techniques. Super fun. BONUS it's licensed! 100% we would go back! read more

Went for pick up time at 2pm on Sunday with my girlfriend. Had Selby and Sarah as coaches. Very personable and great instruction. Got to throw a variety of axes and tried throwing knives. Lasted 2 hrs or so. Was a blast. I'd definitely do it again :) read more

Offers a fun environment with helpful and professional staff. A great group activity!

There's no place I'd rather spend my Monday nights at. I truly love this staff, this sport, the venue, and the atmosphere. (And the peach cider ain't so bad either) read more
