    Had fun with bois, parking might be a challenge on weekends. But the instructor was great and explained the techniques associated with axe throwing pretty well. Although, an indoor bar could be a great addition.

    Great activity for family or friends. Instructors are very helpful and their demo is informative yet short so you get to spend a lot of time axe throwing. They have binders with a bunch of different axe-throwing related games that you can play with friends and upon request, they'll teach you cool tricks. Also, ask them for a discount!!! If you try to book in-person and ask nicely, they can give you a coupon/discount code for a certain amount off of your purchase.

    Really unique activity to try! Easier said and in demos than in real life - probably spent half the time still missing the board. Still fun and get some friendly competition. There are three axes sizes: small (pretty light), medium (few pounds) and large (more pounds). I thought the lightest axe was good for single hand throwing and control. The medium one was okay for two handed throwing, and the largest axe was honestly too heavy for me (and a bit uncomfortably heavy for my bf). Staff was friendly and after the demo let us be flexible to throw the axes and play our own games. Could have used a bit more instruction or help but throwing techniques are so variable. Good for date night or hanging out with a small group of friends.

    First time axe throwing and I came with a friend. Very easy to make booking online. There's plenty of parking in the front and back area. Easy check in. There's a waiver you have to sign and they check you in. After a quick guide on how to throw, we went straight at it. Once we got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. Small medium large axes to throw. There's add ons you can buy like throwing knifes. There's a binder with different games you can do instead of just trying for bullseyes. We both ending up getting better towards the end. Would definitely come hang here again!

    Our group of 12 had an axe-llent time at this venue! It's a hidden gem in downtown San Jose. Thomas was super helpful in explaining the steps of throwing axes and knives. It's about 9 rows of axe throwing about 1 hour and 15 minutes of playtime. They have a clean single bathroom! They have parking in the front and a venue in the back You'll have to sign a waiver then listen to a 2-5 minute explanation from their small to big axes. We had the extra big class and all of it was so fun to throw them. Would come here again!

    What a fun work off-site we had at AxeVentures Axe Throwing! It was a good amount of time for everyone to learn, try, practice, and improve. The competitiveness in us came out as we tried to improve on our own throwing while also cheering for each other. A large group came in after we started. They took up most of the spaces. We stayed on the far end in our two lanes. There were a couple of table games on the tall table with stools for people waiting for their turn. It was lots of fun, thanks AxeVentures Axe Throwing!

    What a seamless process to book a team outing! We had a team of 25 looking to vent out our stress with axes (don't worry not at each other). All I did was reach out via email with the information they were requesting, and they were ready with the invoice! We booked the first time slot which gave us flexibility. Now let me help you with some details from all the calling I did. - I was able to make a reservation a week in advance and just needed to pay a day or two before. - You can't go down in number, but you can add folks as needed at the venue! They are pretty flexible with this, as long as there is no other group. We reserved for 20, and we got to use all the lanes! - They were so nice to arrive a little earlier to open so that we can have the food delivered on time and give us time to set up! - You can cater food here! It was so nice because we got our favorite Slice of Homage pizza which was a huge hit! And they had additional tables that could be set up! - They sell water bottles, but they also allow you to bring your own. - They are willing to help give instructions again as folks were trickling in, which was important for safety but also was so nice of them with their patience. - They even had a binder of competitions and games to play with the axes, as well as seating to hang out and play other games on the table! - Many opportunities to take pics, videos, and even enjoy lunch! I can't think of a better place who can be this accommodating with a huge group like us. I would recommend this to everyone who is planning a corporate event, they made sure to take care of us! We had a blast getting over the fear of throwing axes and just bonding over a great time at a great place!

    Super fun experience our host/teacher was very informative and cool! Def will do again, too bad no alcohol though!

    Been here twice and had a blast both times! It's $42/per person for 1 hour 15 minutes which is plenty of time and a single lane can hold up to 5-6 people. Before getting started you sign waivers and read safety instructions which are pretty self-explanatory. A team member then gives us instructions and tips and tricks on how to throw the axe correctly which was very helpful. You honestly work up a sweat here while having fun. It takes a few tries to get a groove on/hang of things, but once you got it it's super fun! I do wish they had the AC on blast tho lol. Other than that it's a fun date spot, or to bond and hang with family and friends.

    The instructor was awesome and had good teaching techniques with trick shots and was very knowledgeable

But my main thing is I think they need to do a much better job if you do a kids vs parents game, or warn against it (they said it would be fine). I ended up fighting the other parents to throw the match! I would recommend doing two teams of the same level, because overall the experience was cool, but the kids vs parents things was good for the kids, not as much for the adults. And it was kinda pricy for the whole party.

The instructor is an artist called Nancy, who also worked for many years in the school district as art teacher. She is very nice and can provide advice and helpful tips. The other people at the workshop were also very nice, some of them had been there before. I felt quite welcome and among friends. The workshop also provided a few snacks such as crackers, ham cheese, brownies, soft drinks. The workshop for the Christmas tree was split in two days because on the first day you have to glue the mosaic to the tree and on the second day, you apply the grout. So make sure that you have allocated enough time in your calendar for both. it was quite a relaxing workshop and I found that I actually slept much better overnight, which was an added benefit! I really enjoyed myself and hope to check out their calendar for other workshops to take. The studio is at the back of the instructors house and it is also open during weekends over certain hours for open studio. I noticed that some of the people working on their own pieces during open studio were doing some phenomenal pieces. There is a huge assortment of mosaic that you can use in your creations.

He would then focus on his own pieces instead of checking on how to students were doing. The classes rarely started on time because the instructor would be eating their late lunch and would consistently forget what he taught us the previous week. Because there was poor time management, we would be working on pieces and then 15 minutes before the class would end, we would be told we have to start cleaning up so everyone would rush to finish what they were doing Because there was barely any hands on instruction, I was constantly watching online videos from other pottery instructors before class to teach myself the tips I was missing from my own instructor The studio also lacked a proper storage system, so every single week we came in, our pieces were in a different place which made it extremely difficult to find our work -- I lost a few pieces because of this The overall experience has been so disappointing and a waste of time and money - if you are serious about making pottery a hobby, I would suggest looking for a different pottery studio
