Fun time! Jeremy coached us on how to throw properly, and then had us play some games. We really enjoyed it. Easy parking in the City Center ramp. Check it out! read more

My husband and I came to this spot for an anniversary date, and it was so fun! We've been meaning to try out axe throwing, and our coach, Ryan, was super nice and helpful in coaching our form and showing us fun games. I've learned...I'm not great at this, but it was still a ton of fun! Since it was just the two of us, we each got a lane which was nice. We'll definitely be back with a group - it would be such a fun group activity! read more

Went here on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate a birthday with a few friends. The location was centralized so that was nice but it was very busy. First, the pros.. throwing axes is fun! They gave us good tutorials and a couple fun games to play. They had to show us a few times the correct posture but were super patient. Rogue was super patient and she was so upbeat that it almost made me tired. Perfect for this type of atmosphere!! The cons.. while the facility was nice, it was a little cramped, seemed a bit disorganized and the food and drink selection was rather limited. Glad that they're trying to have these things, but it seemed a little lack luster. They also double up coaches to groups.. so Rogue had our group of 4, but she also had a group of like 15 or so right next to us. Kind of made us feel like we were hung out to dry as they needed more attention. Rogue was great about still trying to get to us, but kind of made it feel like we didn't get the full experience. As a side note, I also don't like that when you make a reservation that your money is essentially non refundable, you're only issued a credit for another time. It doesn't start you out with the right vibe.. In the end, it feels like they still have some kinks to work out, but if we ever need an in town place to go axe throwing, this a great option! read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I went here for a work event and the instructors did not disappoint! They were funny, engaging, informational, and would walk you through every step of the process. It's been a few years since I've been to an axe throwing place, but thanks to some great instruction, I was hitting the target almost every time. I had a great time and am almost tempted to join one of their leagues. read more

This was such a fun date night. Easy enough for a beginner to pick up right away. You'll have a coach to help you land the axe and show you different throwing techniques. I found the two handed throw to be easier than the one hand technique. There's a waiting area and ping pong if you come for a walk-in and need to wait until a lane opens up. The waiting area has a bar with a few beer/cider/wine selections and some snacky foods available for purchase. Parking was really easy, nice sized lot. Would highly recommend for a date night, group outing, birthday, or work event. 45 minutes is $29 a person and they offer different rates for groups. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Bullseye! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We hosted a birthday celebration at Bad Axe last weekend and it was super fun for everyone in our group from age 15 to 70!! Kevin was our coach/host and he was awesome from the minute we walked thru the doors. You have to do an electronic waiver as part of check-in, and they offer beverages including beer and wine and cocktails. I admit I was pretty nervous about the safety aspect, but Kevin explained the rules very clearly which was great, and once we were there we didn't have any scares or nervousness for our entire 90 minutes. Kevin was entertaining and funny (ah, the puns!), but he also has this uncanny ability to tell you how to adjust your throws so you can get better and better. It's like he has slow motion replay in his recall and he can tell you how to adjust your footing or your elbow or your distance - this was really helpful for our beginner group. He also setup a fun competition (we did older peeps versus kids) and kept score and cheered and it was a blast. We also opted to try knife throwing for the last 30 minutes which was totally different but still fun. I think next time if everyone is inexperienced I'd do axe throwing the whole time so we could have focused on our skills and technique. We found easy and cheap parking nearby on the weekend, but I think they might even validate at the City Center ramp (but you should ask to be sure). Highly recommend this especially if you have never tried it. I definitely did not expect to have as much fun as we did, and we already are planning to go back for sure! read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've been axe throwing at a few different places now, and it's always fun! Bad axe also has a big parking lot that's free and you can bring in outside food (but not drinks), so it's a great way to spend an evening with friends!! It was $27 per person per hour which is a bit pricier than I've paid elsewhere ($17 in Duluth was the best price), but the bar prices are pretty reasonable! It's also nice that each "bay" is two lanes/targets so that you can throw at the same time as someone else in your group and "compete". However, the axes and their grips weren't the best quality compared to a few other places I've gone, but I'm also not a good enough axe thrower for it to really matter! The biggest spots for improvement are noise and spacing. Now I'm aware the core of Bad Axe is throwing axes in a warehouse which is inherently loud, but when I visited they were replacing the targets in every other "lane" on a Friday night, and the drills going constantly 15 feet away was super loud while receiving instructions and talking with friends. It would be hard to do a birthday party or corporate event because of that. The spacing of lanes is also precarious. There are a lanes back to back as well as near the bar, so leaving or going to the bar requires a lot of attentiveness and other throwers pausing to let you through. Once you get warmed up with your axe throwing, I would totally recommend some of the games they recommend on their website. We played Humans and Zombies and it was great! read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Lanes for axe throwing! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I went for a first date here, this is a very good place for a first date! It was very warehouse-y and hard to find in the dark, but we finally figured it out. There was only one guy there and he was super friendly. He brought us to our lane, taught us some throwing options, told us we had 45 minutes and let us be. There was loud rock music, some beer and Gatorade, and clean bathrooms. Our throws went high and low, and bounced all over the place, but if you don't take yourself too seriously, it's fun! It was more expensive than I thought it would be, $26.98 a person and there was a line for a tip which I wasn't expecting, but it ir was unique and enjoyable. Plenty of free parking too.., read more

Bad axe was so much fun! We did a walk in and we got in quickly on a weekday evening. Our coach was very fun and good at her job, unfortunately I cannot remember her name! Highly recommend this place for a fun date night or a different night out with friends. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon, pretty much right when it opened! We were the first ones there and had the place to ourselves for about a half hour, which was great because I had a lot to learn about axe throwing! Our teacher was patient and enthusiastic, which helped a lot. The lanes are well kept and sanitizing was apparent. Appreciate the work the team does to create a fun experience for guests! If you're looking to go axe throwing in the area, this is a great spot for it! read more

I had never been axe throwing until my visit at Bad Axe. The staff does a great job teaching prior to any sharp objects being thrown. They also are there to help you throughout your throwing time. We booked 45 minutes and it was just even time to start developing a technique. I found some good beginner luck! Fun activity for those looking to try a new experience read more

We went here for my now husbands birthday and it was honestly SO FUN. we brought our own food in which was super nice we could do that. We got drinks and overall had a great time. Our axe expert was attentive but not over bearing and I really appreciated the vibes of the establishment. Would definitely recommend for a small group gathering. Parking at this establishment was also incredibly seamless and easy with a full lot in northeast! read more

Want to embrace your MN lumberjack roots? Want a little workout? Want a small element of danger, with your friends? Then an afternoon/evening of axe throwing may be just what you and your friends need. The place is not really anything special to look at, and it is not necessarily the easiest place to find in NE. One thing should be noted is at the time they were still building out the bar area. If you wanted you could bring in your own food (no alcohol though). I would also recommend that you reserve your time slot online. This will assure you that you will get an instructor/coach in a timely manner. Once you get your stall assigned to you an instructor will teach you how to throw an axe (either two-handed or one-handed). He will also review the rules for safety, and then teach a few games to play as you progress through your reserved space-time. This is a great place to hang out, throw some sharp objects and take your aggression out on a target. There is also a taproom nearby to unwind at afterward. Certainly worth a try. read more

Wonderful experience today throwing axes! This was my second time there and it was super fun! I got better this round which always helps! . Our throwing coach, Wyatt, was super cool and he gave us pointers as needed to get better and led the games! It's a cool experience and we had a ton of fun! If you're a first timer- i don't know if you can- but try asking for Wyatt as a coach. The coaches definitely make a difference in how you throw! . I also think it's a fun group event as you can mingle and throw in any order! . FYI... no hard liquor there but there are canned beers, hard ciders, and seltzers. Food wise, there's not a ton of options but their hot dogs and pizza make for an easy and light snack while you're throwing axes. . read more

We have come here a few times, and each time it is a blast. This time we went with some friends who have never gone before, and Howard, our coach, was a rockstar! He was super helpful, easy going, and funny! We will be coming back again! Thank you! read more

Went here with a family group for axe throwing. I've done it before, and I had to compete with a retired firefighter who I'm sure has been trained on axe throwing, or at least using an axe as a job skill. It was a great time. Instructor Mike (not his real name) did a great job of coaching folks on the fine details of axe throwing. They have two sizes of axe so that you can select the size that matches your style. I suppose 10 years from now it will be like the bowling alley with shoes and ten different sizes of axes, but for now it's a charming activity that can theoretical split your head open. Have fun! read more

Wow!! So much fun! It was super intimidating stepping in a group and not knowing how to do anything about axe throwing. But our lead, Blake (shout out to all the staff too!) was fun, patient, and incredible helpful. He was the best to handle our crew and made axe throwing an art. There was no sense of shame or embarrassment, just massive amounts of fun! I can't wait to return and spread the word! Definitely would recommend! read more

I came here for a team building activity, and boy did we have fun! I am a massive fan of all things sharp, and throwing them has always seemed likes fun experience. Spoiler alert: it totally is! Coach John was tons of fun. We were dubious when he told us that he'd been throwing axes his whole life, but quickly learned that he could probably bring an axe to a gun fight and come out on top. In addition to giving us general tips, he also gave us individual attention. He had a keen eye for detail and could identify what we needed to do in order to improve our throws: everyone wound up getting a few solid tosses in. The session was really well-organized, with games that kept us moving and motivated. While flinging axes definitely is not my forte, I had a massive amount of fun and now know exactly which teammates to have on hand for a zombie apocalypse. Definitely recommend! read more

Been wanting to try axe throwing for a while. It sure beats bowling. Great way to spend and evening. I took my date axe throwing I thought I would surprise her and not tell her before hand. Possibly a hilarious mistake as she was dressed to impress in a black dress and stiletto heals yet she was more than game as she hit bullseye after bullseye even double axed throwing hitting bullseyes and making me look bad as she killed in in 5 inch heels. Our host/instructor had a fun sense of humor as well and provided us with some entertainment with an axe load of axe puns. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This was my first axe throwing experience and it was amazing! My friend and I walked in and didn't know what to expect, but the staff were super friendly and kind. We filled out our waivers and were promptly given our safety demonstration, as well as the proper throwing techniques. My friend and I weren't quite sure what to expect, but as we kept going, we found the process extremely therapeutic! It was also a bit of a workout, as we were both sweating within 10 minutes. It also takes some time to get used to the motion, so don't give up right away. I found myself getting used to two-handed throws and then was absolute trash at one-handed (although this changed within 30 minutes). We saw folx bringing in adult beverages and food, which the staff were okay with (we assume if anyone was possibly causing harm that they would act accordingly). They offer several walk-in options at $20 per hour, plus tax. There is also a spacious parking lot, so need to fret about that. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I came here for a team building event for work, and it was super fun! There's not much to it - just big wooden bulls-eyes and axes to throw at them. They also have staff on hand to coach you on how to throw the axes, and for our event our coach also ran some team games for us. One of the people on staff when we were there showed off some fancy axe tricks as well. Throwing axes is not that easy, so be prepared for the learning curve. But it's very satisfying to sink an axe into a chunk of wood on the wall, and it was actually good exercise! My biggest issue is that there isn't anything to eat or drink. Some vending machines would have been very welcome when I was there. But you can bring whatever you want. For our event, the crew went beyond the call of duty to help us set up and clean up the catering we brought. They are really nice, hard working, fun people. I will DEFINITELY return! read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I don't know a better way to blow off some steam than throwing sharp objects. Bonus: no one will call the cops on you! The concept: Throw some dang axes! It's super fun, stress-relieving, rewarding, and it's even a bit of a workout! You can even bring your own food and drink. Plus I hear they might add a bar... The process: Reserve a lane online or walk in. Sign the waiver at the front desk. An employee will show you to your lane, provide a few axes, and show you the basics. Then you're free to pick up an axe and throw it over your head while bellowing like a belligerent neanderthal (or is that just me?). There's a wooden target with a bullseye and a few "kill shot" spots. You might not stick an axe at first, but after a few more throws you'll feel sweet victory when it plunges right into your enemy, I mean the target. Walk in sessions are $20 per person per hour, which is well worth 60mins of legal weapon-wielding. There is a parking lot too. read more

We had a group of 7 people and we had a blast. Coach Kevin was very helpful and taught us fun games to play.

Our team at Empower Inclusion spent an afternoon at Bad Axe Throwing for a company outing, which was wonderful! Kevin was a great coach and provided wonderful customer service throughout our time at Bad Axe. The check-in process was smooth and they offered a variety of food and beverage options. He was attentive to our needs and made our experience so fun! read more

Terrible service. I have been to 4 other axe throwing places in the past couple years, and was very surprised by the way this company treats their customers. The location is very nice, awesome facilities, and decent equipment (some of the axe handles were crumbling). But we were treated poorly. We walked in, they told us we needed to wait 40 minutes since they had another group, and talked to us like they were unhappy we came. After waiting 75 minutes, we were given a bay. When we left, we paid, and then got a phone call accusing us of running away without payment. The employees did not communicate with each other. read more

We had a wonderful time here. My wife won the Best of 3 rounds, hands down. See her video hitting the Bulls eye. Jake was our instructor and was really good. Lots of fun. Our wait time was less than 5 mins even though we were walk ins. Beer is available and they have a few options. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Bulls eye. The only time it happened :) - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I really wanted to like Bad Axe. I was a regular at an Axe Throwing concept in my old town of Kansas City, so I am a big fan of Axe Throwing! Having moved up to Minneapolis this past month, we were invited by family to go with them for their first visit to Bad Axe. Unfortunately, it will be our last, and for good reason. 1. First and foremost, this facility is extremely dangerous. They tried to pack too many lanes into one space. This results in not enough room between where people are throwing, and people walking behind them because the distance to the wall is too narrow. We watched almost 6 different people take an axe to the face when someone drew the axe back to start their throw, as someone decided to walk behind them. (At other concepts we've been to, you start your throw in a more enclosed lane to prevent anyone from getting hurt.) 2. The lanes are too short, and they have dividers every 2 lanes instead of 1. Why does this matter? We had between 5-7 axes bounce all the way back to the thrower, or the person throwing in the lane next to us, and hit them in the foot. Thank god we were wearing closed toed shoes. The furthest an axe bounced back was 4 feet behind where we were throwing. Completely unacceptable. When I brought this to the only employee we saw all nights attention, he said "That's why we have you sign all those waiver's when you walk in the door." 3. If you make a reservation online, you are not guaranteed a lane. We arrived for our 5:30 reservation, only to find they gave it away, even though we arrived on time. They said all their reservations for all their locations go through one central reservation hub, and that they can't control who's lanes get cancelled or not if they overbook. We waited and were then placed on the next available lane. 4. There is no where to sit or to put your things. After arriving they took us to our lane. We booked 3 hours of Axe Throwing, but how are you supposed to relax and enjoy yourself when you have to put your belongings on the ground, and stand the whole time? 5. After complaining to who appeared to be the only person working multiple times, who was also teaching a bunch of different groups how to throw, he got defensive and tried arguing how safe it was, literally as an axe bounced all the way back near his foot. He even overheard me complaining to my friend about how one of the axe's heads was sliding down the handle, and decided to butt in and tell me how that is normal and totally safe. 6. After an hour, we decided it wasn't worth the safety risk, nor were we going to stand for the next 3 hours even if it was. We went to cash out and the employee told us we had to pay for the 3 hours, even though the first hour we couldn't play because they gave our lane away (he acknowledged this and offered nothing), and we only played for 1 hour. 7. I emailed Bad Axe corporate about my experience and issues on 11/3/18 and received an automatic response that I would hear from them in 48 hours. It has now been double that with no response. I let them know that I won't leave any negative reviews if they make it right, but they didn't care to even respond, so here we are. I highly recommend Axe Throwing as it's a lot of fun. I would just look elsewhere. I'm honestly surprised that Code Enforcement hasn't shut them down for the safety issues, or for allowing Bring Your Own Beer even though the city told them they couldn't. (The employee who argued with me said he was allowing people to do it because of people being mad at them for advertising that they could, even though they couldn't.) read more

We came here for my friend's birthday party. It was a blast! I had been axe throwing once before in Denver, but this place was much nicer. It is in a large warehouse type building. You rent a stall and have a coach that teaches you technique and keeps score. He was very helpful. My favorite game was knockout where you go head to head with members of the opposing team. The person with the worse throw gets a strike (2 strikes and you get eliminated). I wish would would have played this more! Perk: YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN BEER! read more

This place is pretty cool. I'd never been axe throwing before but I had fun and I'd do it again. Legit way to get out some aggression ;). Great location and large well lit facility. The staff is super friendly and helpful - they were accessible and available for questions. There were just two of us but I think this would be even more fun with 4-6 people. They just got their liquor license and will start serving food soon - this is great I'm just thinking don't drink too much and handle axes lol... read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The idea of axe throwing is very cool and novel, and this place presents the activity very well. We just had some inaccurate information provided to us prior to going. Their website states they have a full service bar and bistro with a "kick ass wine and beer menu". When we went there was no wine and limited beer options. We had even called before hand to see what their "bar" was and were told it was stocked with both. No where even close to being a full service bar though. Food menu was also quite limited. We were told over the phone they had had pizza and other snacks/bar food. Almost everything other than cheese pizza was crossed out when we went. I had called and specifically asked if we could bring our own food items in and was told no that was not allowed. Oddly enough several reviews below state that is not the case and we saw people with coolers at the venue. Overall it's cool to throw an axe but if you're looking for a group activity that feels like a well put together night out with food and drinks, Top Golf or bowling is a better bet. read more

Our Amazon AWS work crew went to this place for a team building event. It was a really amazing experience. The staff was super cool and laid back.

BIG FUN! Really let's you work out all those frustrations! And you can bring your own treats and wine and champagne.

Stop what you're doing now and go throw some axes at Bad Axe! I went for their open house and the staff was so friendly and helpful and they show you the proper techniques so you don't injure yourself (or others). There are plenty of stalls set up so my friend and I walked in and had one to ourselves. Throwing the axes is harder than it looks but you get the hang of it, I promise! After we mastered the basics the staff came back around and taught us trick shots and I definitely felt like a badass when I could throw the axe underhanded. Such a unique way to have fun and get out some energy. I'm definitely going back! read more

Bad Axe Throwing Minneapolis - Kennedy St - Axe Throwing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

tl;dr: Ask for a quote and clarify pricing. Do not book for a group, you are losing value. Avoid Axel. Before I get to the 1-star rating reason, here are the things that they did well: The facility was clean, their equipment was, for the most part, undamaged, sharp and secure. The prices for the food weren't absurdly high, either, though I didn't order so I can't say anything about portions. The value of this experience is high if you go as a walk-in. Most of the coaches seemed very enthusiastic and helpful, though they weren't assigned to me so I couldn't really tell. Why my group's experience was so negative: 1. Cheap policy of shoving an entire group, no matter the size, into one caged off area with two lanes. 2. Uncooperative, unenthusiastic, uninterested employee that served as our "coach" for the duration of two hours. 3. Higher prices than advertised that, net, were not worth the "specialized attention" that our coach supposedly provided for us. To expand: Their policy online is very clear that a group booking gets you two reserved targets, which means two lanes. Looking at the online price, that's $40 per person, and you get two hours. Meanwhile, if you walk-in after confirming availability, the price listed online is $25 per person per hour, which comes out to $50 per two hours. While the group option seems more cost-effective at first glance, do not underestimate their means of wringing a profit out of you. When you only have two lanes, your active time is cut down exponentially. The group option is 8 people minimum; with only two lanes, you can expect to get 25% the active time compared to someone who walked in and paid the $50 for two hours. 25% of 2 hours, by the way, is only 30 minutes. You're paying $40 for 30 minutes worth of axe throwing, while the walk-in is paying $50 for 120 minutes. For the walk-ins, you can just pick up more lanes because you're not technically in one group. And if there aren't enough lanes for each of you to have one, then you can share with just one or two others. My group was 13 people in two lanes. 120min/6 people in one lane = 20 minutes of active throwing per person. What incredible value /s. Their response to our complaint was that we are getting a dedicated coach who gives us real-time feedback and that without this coach we wouldn't be able to do any of their "fun activities," according to the one assigned to my group. Here's the catch: the walk-ins next to us didn't have a dedicated coach, but there was still a coach who told them the exact same information that our coach told us at the beginning, two-handed throw, one-handed throw, how to remove the axe safely, and other safety procedures that they obviously would tell anyone who sets foot inside of the lanes. The, "fun activities"? We played HORSE (the basketball game) backwards. We tried to get a higher score than the other "team," we tried to get a higher score faster, then we tried to hit a specific ring a specific number of times. All the while our "coach" just changed a number or made a tally on a whiteboard that was available to use whether or not you had a coach. So incredibly innovative, I have no idea how we would have managed that on our own /s. And finally, our coach was just unimpressive. Axel clearly did not want to be there, as she never stopped looking at her phone, waiting for those precious text message bubbles to pop up. Her explanations of how to handle the axes were very half-hearted and not in-depth enough, and we were led to believe this was because she couldn't really do it herself because none of the axes she threw at the target in any of her demos stuck. Her dedicated coaching consisted of little more than warning us that she would kick us off in the event that someone threw too hard, telling us to step forward to let someone pass, or just grimacing as we missed the target. I can say with confidence that she was a subpar representation of what this location had to offer in terms of customer service, because the walk-in group next to us had a temporary coach that was so enthusiastic that I stopped throwing for a while just to hear her explain how to hold my arm, at what angle, when to release, what alternative methods there were, and how to quickly remove the axe from the board without "wiggling" it over and over again. I only wish they had reserved a competent coach for our group event. Last thoughts: The experience of throwing an axe is great. Their target ranges are safe and secure. If you want to try out axe throwing, this may well be the spot for you. Just clarify the pricing, don't reserve for a large group, and don't get matched with Axel. Oh and try to avoid the red-handled axes, my group found that the bearded ones had a better weight distribution, easier to get the rotation right. read more

Here's the good stuff: The staff is extremely friendly! We were welcomed immediately, clear safety instructions were given, and the place is clean! We are new to the concept of axe throwing, so it was a fun experience for all of us. Here's the improvements I would make: It's a little pricey. Since you are charging what you do, I'd maybe replace the target wood a bit more frequently, as our axes didn't stick as well as we would have liked. Overall, we enjoyed our time, and we'd probably do it again. A loyalty program, perhaps? Something to justify the price of admission. read more

This is a great place to hang out with friends for hours of fun. We had a group of 4 and did a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon and got on a lane right away! I have been to a few axe throwing places and this one was the best to me because you don't have an employee babysitting you the whole time. Its less structured and pretty laid back. They let you being in your own food and beverages as long as its non-alcoholic, and I would highly recommend doing so as the cans of pop they had for purchase cost $2.75! read more

What a great time!!! At first I thought it was going to be a lot of picking up axes from the floor, but was pleasantly surprised that after some wonderful coaching from Nic, everyone in a party was sticking their axes close to 90% of the time. Safety is the name of the game at Bad Axe, something the coach continuously reminded us of during the evening. After the initial coaching we were provided practice time, then were split up into team and played 4 different types of matches. Our Coach fit right in with our group, keeping things lively and fun. I would definitely do it again. read more

Never go as a group. The service was incredibly disappointing. 12 people prepaid $40 each for a group event and they stuffed all of us into only one lane. each person threw only a few times all night. The rest of the venue had a bunch of walk-in groups with just 2-3 people per lane and paid less. We spoke to management and the staff and were forced to stay in same lane for 12 people and did not open up any space for us and overcharged us. Very poor service. Would never go again. read more
