Very fun! Walked in and was greeted nicely by those sitting at the desk and they were quick to offer the next possible time, which was only a 30 min wait. Was enough time to go out and walk on the street to burn off time. It's about 58$ (with college student discount at 7$ dollars) not including tip, for a whole hour of axe throwing. Even better there's music playing and large fans for your workout. And the instructor of course comes out to demonstrate and let you know how to throw if it's your first time. Definitely a fun working out experience! Recommend to anyone looking to blow off steam :) read more

Needed a great idea for my dads group meet up. Found a great Groupon. This place does not disappoint! Great friendly staff, solid location and great ambience. Will 100% be back someday read more

Kind staff, great family activity, super fun time! Would definitely recommend this for team building. Makes you a bit sore tho!

There was a bit of confusion with our reservation but Bianca took awesome care of us! It was a crazy fun time and everyone I saw there was having a blast! They give you the basics and then just let you throw at your own pace. It's kid friendly too, although mine were only old enough to watch. By the end of it I was deadly accurate and took the wings off of a fly mid-air. Thanks! read more

AxeVentures Axe Throwing - I pictured my ex-girlfriend's face. - Axe Throwing Near Me - Berkeley, California

My fiancé and I went on a double date here just outta the blue. We wanted a new type of date and I loved that they gave you a demo and tips during the time you scheduled. I scheduled it online and it was really easy. Mask are required and everyone wore them which was great. We had 75 minutes for $35 each person. We had two lanes and after our demo, we threw axes. The demo was super helpful. I was having so much fun with my group that we tried to aim for bullseyes and try out different axes. Time flew by! I though 75 minutes would be too long but it was loads of fun! I'd go by again. P.S. The place can get pretty warm with all those bodies so keep that in mind. Water was very helpful and they sold it in front. read more

I was looking for something to do this weekend on a rainy day with my family. Something boys and girls and old and young alike would like. In my family we are obsessed with Zombies and end of the world scenarios. Yeah we're weird like that- Anyhoo on Yelp I see this axe throwing place and think this is a great idea and de-stressor for us older folks. So Berkeley parking is a biotch!! Super hard on a Sunday to find a spot. The business per say has no parking but the street with meters. It was a doozy to find some where to park. Be warned. Next you check in and sign a waiver. Everyone in group and minors go under the adults waiver. I had my 14 yr old son. 5 people per lane. Less than 5 you might have to share with strangers. I made a reservation through their website. $26 pp plus tax. Axe throwing is harder than it seems at first but practice make perfect: They have some sodas and snacks but thats it in regards to food. Some people have adult bdays there. After a brief introductory course to Axe throwing you are on your own. The staff is funny and chill and willing to help in any way. *Optional for $20 you can buy a zombie poster that will be mounted up on the wood that bleeds red and blue when you hit the targets. We loved using it. End of the world drill 100%!!! Major photo opps and laughs all during our session. We had a great time. **We ready for the Zombie Apocalypse*** read more

Low key and high touch! Had a great time here and the staff were super accommodating. We probably took too many liberties while throwing, but they were great about helping. We had a great time! read more

The pros to this place outweighed the minor cons. So let me just get those out of the way. Parking...but duh, that was to be expected in this area. Sure, there's free parking in the residential areas as well as meter parking in the main streets. There are also a few parking garages near. But it's a matter of finding a space on a Friday night. And when you're trying to organize a group of people to arrive at the same time because it's a surprise, the parking situation stressed me out! The restroom...all I can say is, just hold it. You're only there for 1.5 hours and boy, does time fly when you're having fun! I was trying to plan a surprise birthday event and Axeventure was Part One. The guests were to arrive without knowledge of what they were doing so the rule to wear closed-toe shoes caused some grumbling. It concerned me as well, but I want to clarify the precaution does NOT mean everyone has to come in steel-toed shoes. Sneakers are fine! Cute, little ankle boots are fine! - whatever, just as long as your feet are covered. That should probably be clarified on all their marketing material and I suspect they get that question a lot. Cons be gone, now the pros: Booked AxeVentures for a birthday party. Chris was great to work with, he immediately responded to all my inquiries via email, phone calls and texts. I can be needy that way. They allowed me to put up my own decorations, they even provided me with a fold-out table to put out the snacks and non-alcoholic drinks I brought. We printed out our own targets ( like zombies, and another thin-skinned monster) and they provided the duct tape. Although like shooting ranges, having a variety of targets to purchase wouldn't be a bad thing - just saying. Just glad they allowed us to bring in our own. An hour and a half is plenty of time, even with a group as large as ours. A staffer came over to let us know we had 15 minutes left in our booking, but he also upped the ante with a small target challenge to earn some free merch. That didn't happen, but it was fun trying. It really got our group going. Three lanes, 15 participants and some friends who came just to watch. Plenty of room for all of us to sit, watch, or throw but most importantly, have a great time! read more

What an Axecellent time! We used a Groupon deal and surprised our friend for his birthday with a 90 minute axe throwing adventure. They have five to a lane and the place has 7 lanes total. After a quick demo and safety procedures we were given our axes and let to take a shot on our lanes. It took a little to get used to be we all ended up being successful and had a blast. They also have for a $20 fee different targets you can add that "bleed" paint when you hit them. We opted for the clown. The time frame was the perfect amount to increase our skills and still hold our interest. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Hip new spot in Berkeley--so much fun & what an arm workout! For 29$/person for 1.5 hours, this is a great date night spot or place to destress! It took me awhile to hit the sweet spot but after patient coaching from the awesome owners & learning to "throw it like a football," it was nonstop bulls-eyes! Cool vibe, great music, & if you get tired, they have fun yard games like giant Connect 4, Jenga, etc! I'll definitely be back! read more

We threw my son's 10th birthday party here. We were looking for a unique, Covid-cautious, and fun event. We totally got it! The age group was right on. Coach Peter was super helpful and chill. And we had the whole back space, three lanes and three tables, to ourselves. All the guests want to have an AxeVentures party for their next bday and us parents have already talked about doing a kid-free version. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I went here for a date, and it was so much fun! It doesn't take too long to get the swing of things. Orientation/demo is pretty short so you can go right into axe throwing. There's a fun basketball hoop to keep you entertained before coming in as well. I spent about an hour throwing axes, and this was a sufficient amount of time. Initially I was pretty worried about this being dangerous, but it's not too bad if you follow the instructions and don't swing too hard. The goal is to have precision so there's no need to throw the axe like a baseball. I love that this is a game of friendly competition. There are different games you can try -- like first one to get to 15 wins! This is kind of similar to darts, but it's much more aggressi read more

Super fun activity! We had lots of fun throwing axes. I felt very safe. It's a very fun place to be with family and friends. Very good music and the atmosphere is great. Hope to come back soon ! read more

The employees here are really nice. They start off by showing you how to throw the axe. They then let you practice a couple rounds and help you adjust how to throw. They then give you space to do it on your own and will check back every so often. We had a 1.5 hour slot but ended up throwing for closer to 2 hours. At the end they let us play a game where we throw the axe and try to hit a sticker they put up. Hitting it wins you a prize. Overall the experience was fun and I would come back for another hang out. read more

Came back for another round of axe throwing a year later & it was still an awesome experience! Came with a new group of friends & Peter took his time teaching us the ropes (errr...axes?) He was even nice enough to let us stay a bit longer to finish up our game. Definitely need to make this more than an annual activity! read more

We had an awesome time for our kid's 13th birthday party! I was surprised how many parents agreed to this idea, but it is a very good setup and they do a great job of going over the safety tips. What can I say, if throwing hatchets and axes at a target sounds fun and you live in the east bay, this is for you. The kids had fun with the little prop shelf, which included a 'bloody' rubber hatchet, and a Viking helmet. Good times. read more

We wandered into AxeVentures after eating matcha ice cream across the street out of curiosity. We were instantly in awe as people of all ages were throwing sharp looking axes at large pieces of lumber painted with targets on them! We couldn't resist a try and we paid for 30 minutes and we genuinely had a good time. It was a lot more challenging than expected. This place is so unique and cool and I would highly recommend for anyone who hasn't done it before to give it a chance. I would definitely come back! To make things better, the guys and gal who were working and overseeing the operation were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. They were a great group of people. read more

This was such a fun experience!! The rules and safety protocols are explained thoroughly and clearly, along with demonstration, before you begin your session- our guy checked for understanding often & offered plenty of opportunity to ask questions. He also came back to check on us after we got going, to see if we needed or wanted any tips or help. There were three different sizes and styles of axes to use, and we were also given target stickers to place on the wooden boards. The place is decorated with punny phrases in photo-op neon lights, and the rock music created a proper energetic atmosphere. I loved it all. It was really cool to learn something new, and I absolutely want to go back again soon! read more

I have been wanting to try axe throwing for a while and realized this place recently reopened, so I was excited to check it out. We found a great Groupon deal that came out to be $18 per person for 75 minutes. It was a great time! There were two other couples also there at the same time, but we were spaced out evenly so I felt comfortable and safe during the duration of the experience. The staff was friendly and came by to check on us and even stayed to give some tips and adjustments to throw better. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I bought a groupon for this place as a gift for the significant other. I didn't read the fine print and you can only use it on weekdays. We're a little far from here so during the next bank holiday, we made a reservation and made the trek up here. We arrived a few minutes early and signed a waver. Then they have these games you cn play around with while your waiting. A ring game (similar to darts), big jenga, and connect 4 among some of them. Then we got a quick tutorial from Darion (I think was his name). He was very nice and patient and checked on us regularly, at least at the beginning. He got busier as our time went on. There was another gentleman (Asian, but didn't catch his name) who gave me some pointers at the end, which helped and I think I was getting the hang out it by then. The tutorial was just a few minutes and then we had at it. The website warns that you might have to share lanes. But there were just 6 of us when we got there. So each couple got their own lane. Not sure if that's the case if it gets really busy. About 15 minutes into our throwing session, our axe actually broke in half. Haha. And we had to get a new axe. Apparently 2-3 axes break per day. I think an hour and half for two people is plenty of time. Any longer and I think our arms would've been tired a lot sooner. And they have some games you can play to make it a little more interesting. My bf started getting really good and the hang of it about halfway through and he hit the board every time. So he started playing those games, trying to hit every ring. Also they have smaller targets above the big regular target and he started aiming for those and getting them. He also said an hour and half was plenty - otherwise it would start to get boring. Fun thing to do - not sure if I could make it a regular thing. read more

I listen throughout the year on what the babe likes or wants so for Xmas I got him a voucher for Axe throwing! He wants to do manly things so I was like Axe throwing should be good! I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. We arrived early and waited about 5 to 10 minutes for others in our time slot to arrive. We filled out a quick form at the front and killed time playing jenga and connect 4. Two other couples came and we had a quick introduction. Consist of how to throw and what not to do. How to hold the axe and safety! There's game on the table if you want to try to play but its not mandatory. Since it was a week day it was nice to have our lane to ourselves. We got 1 and half hours to throw and it was fun but I think if you have to lane share it you wouldn't have as much time. We bought some balloons and a Zombie target that oozes. Its not part of the package but the zombie target was worth it. Gotta get ready for that Zombie Apocalypse. Axe throwing for me looked easy but it took me a while getting used to but at the end I think I got it down. The staff here is super cool and friendly! Good taste in music being played while you hang out. I can't wait to go back with friends! Fun place 100%! read more

Pro-tip: look on Groupon - sometimes they have a deal. I came here with a large group and we pretty much got a whole section to ourselves which was nice. The staff is super friendly and will teach you everything you need to know about what and what not to do during axe throwing. Once we were trained, we were pretty much on our own and we had a blast trying to get a bullseye - or in my case, trying to get it to stick to the board. We also had a competition among us, which made it a little more fun. Overall, it was fun activity that I've never done before and I would come back again or recommend this to anyone who is looking for something to do. read more
