Axe throwing was always something that my wife and I wanted to do, so we finally got to do it on a date night a few months back. One important thing to note is that you have to schedule your throwing time beforehand on their website. At the time, they supposedly did not accept walk-ins, but I do not know if that has or will change. Also, closed-toe shoes are required, so leave the sandals at home! The building itself is pretty basic and not a lot of decorating flare (which is fine, because I am here to throw axes). When you arrive, you have to sign the waiver, you have an opportunity to buy food, drink,etc and then you wait for your time to come. Once it is your scheduled time, you are taken back to your lane, giving a demo and overview of the various games and operating rules. After that, you are on your own but our guide was nearby most of the night if we had questions. He was able to answer questions and take food/drink orders. For the menu, they had popcorn and other small snack menu and a selection of canned beers, seltzers, and ciders. Prices were reasonable for the items my wife and I purchased. For the axe-throwing itself, you can reserve by the hour or lane. One hour is $20 per person or $35 for two hours (6 people per lane, includes training prior to starting). You can also rent two lanes for an hour for $200 (up to 12 people) or two hours for $350. There are a variety of games, including a traditional target, a Connect 4 style game, 21, a matching game, and more! Players are given clever names such as "Pain in the Axe" and "Axe Hole". You can also choose to use an axe or throwing star for additional fun or challenge. It's actually a bit more tiring than it seems. The atmosphere was very welcoming and there were plenty of bathrooms and they were clean and had all supplies stocked. Staff was friendly and helpfulWhen we were done, we were taking selfies near the entrance (there is a backdrop and props), and the hostess offered to take our picture. We both had fun and are looking at going back with the kids. read more

I was hesitant. It was a Team Building exercise for work and no one seemed excited, except the fella running the place and the gal at the counter that had the beer. After a quick explanation and a brief demonstration we were off and running. It was super fun and I'm certain that every one of us had a Great time. They had decent canned beer and the bathrooms were clean. I would highly recommend doing this with anyone and everyone. read more

Great staff and fun environment, Love the variety of games you can play and the drink selection is great.

My first time axe throwing...So glad I tried it. I've seen axe throwing posted on my friends' social media pages throughout the country, and it took me to travel to Omaha to try it myself. The building is barebones, cold, but exactly what it should be for this type of activity. The plus was that the bathrooms were roomy and warm comparatively. Also, they have a pretty big cooler full of canned beers and cocktails that they will serve you as you wait and throw...You can get three during your visit. We threw for one hour, there were four of us. With the training to start, we did wish we had more time, but next time would be better without the instruction time. So, I'd still do an hour, but you can do two. It took me a minute to get the hang of it, but another in my group got it to stick just about every time with no experience either. Bottom line, all levels of competitors will have fun here. The reason for knocking off one star is that our board was really torn up. There was very little red bullseye left and the line, must be where righties tend to throw, between the middle and second board to the right was really cut up. I'm attaching a picture...if you zoom in, you can see the difference between the boards on the three lanes of our section, we were on the right. It just seemed like more of our axes would have stuck had we had fresher wood. We had a good time, girls bonding night, and I would go back... read more

My friends and I went here for a belated celebration this past weekend and it was really fun. We checked in and placed a couple drink orders. Then we were off to learn how to throw an axe. The 'coach' taught us and then were off to play as much as we wanted in the hours' time. It was a blast and you definitely get better as the time goes by. It was really fun and I can definitely see myself going back. read more

We went here for my son's 13th birthday party. Brooklynn greeted us promptly at the check in area. After the waivers were signed and our coats hung up, it was time to head to our throwing lane. Jacob was our stellar axe throwing trainer showing us the proper way to hold the axe, technique and etiquette (yes, there's etiquette in axe throwing). He was patient and encouraging with our group. Very important with a group of first timers. My wife and I also got a chance to wield an axe or two at the target. I must say, it's quite addicting. Is it wrong to go axe throwing on date night? I think not. Tracey K and I will definitely be back. Service here is top notch and a wide variety of beverages. Also, free popcorn; can't go wrong with that! read more

I came away from my one hour session at flying timber with the following observations... Staff was excellent. Friendly, helpful, fun. The concept is neat. Like bowling (except you could probably do it at home). It's a little spendy. ($20 / hour per person) before tips plus drinks. But people will obviously spend it. The pace felt too speedy. I felt that right after we had our intro and practice throws, we got the "you have 20 minutes left" warning. Then, they came through to close out our tabs before our last 20 minutes were even up. I just felt rushed. Maybe it's because we were having so much fun?? All in all a cool concept and a fun outing but not probably something I'd shell out to do again. read more

Love this place and the event was setup well. Love that there are instructors on hand to give you pointers. Place is pretty spacious. I would definitely tell people to give it a try. It takes some getting used to but definitely enjoyed myself! Thanks for all the swag Yelp! read more

What a cool place. I wasn't sure what to expect but really loved this experience. Flying Timbers is set up well and was really fun. For $20 per person per hour you can throw as many axes as you want. The staff is available to coach you (it's harder than it looks) and there are scorecards available with several different scoring methods to make the game more fun. For me, I was just so psyched to finally hit the target and have my axe hold. I can totally see this being a great team building event. I'm looking forward to bringing my kids for a family day event (12 and under won't bee admitted). In addition, they have wine, beer, soda, etc to quench your thirst. Lots of bathrooms too which I especially liked. read more

I'll be the first to admit I was hesitant. I couldn't figure out how an axe throwing business could exist. The best thing to relate it to is bowling but with axes. It's so much fun and it's the same concept where you have lanes and play with groups of people to try and get as many points as possible. The staff was always available to help with technique and to keep the experience safe and fun. One thing I was not prepared for was the closed toe shoe policy. Thankfully they had some shoes available for rental, at a cost. Since this is a safety concern, I don't feel that should be an extra charge to the regular admission. Again, compared to bowling where shoes are usually wrapped up in the rental fee. Overall a great experience and would certainly go back. It would be a great suggestion for corporate parties and events! read more

So much fun! We've been here several times and always have a great time. Throwing axes is a lot of fun and the coaches help tremendously with form. The staff is friendly and they have a good selection of beer, cider and soda. read more

I like the downtown location (close to Block 16), and the customer service is above par. An instructor is always nearby. But the experience was less than ideal because their axes have plastic handles. This is a bad idea. The knob of the plastic handle is excessively grippy and way too light to offset the head of the axe. This leads to a frustrating and unnecessary learning curve. Not recommended. read more

What a hoot!! Fantastic and unique bar for axe throwing. There are several bays in here you can throw axes and the staff gives you your own lessons on how to throw. Safety is a priority since you are required to sign a waiver, wear socks and closed toe shoes.If you come without the proper footwear, no worries, they have it covered since they have shoes and socks you can wear. The staff is friendly and very accessible. read more

We had so much fun learning how to axe throw at Flying Timber!! The facility is so clean and the people are friendly and helpful. Having trouble mastering your axe throwing? No problem, just ask for help! After a few throws, we semi-got the hang of things and enjoyed a friendly traditional game! They have a wide selection of drinks to choose from and you can bring outside food in to eat at one of their many tables. I highly recommend this place for a fun outing! read more

Birthday night out My niece Jami with my husband Derek went out to celebrate her 29th Birthday and we had some much fun trying to hit the bullseye. I would highly recommend for a great night of fun. read more

Had an amazing time. Jacob was an amazing host! Kept us entertained and shows us how to work the games properly! Will definitely come back if I'm in Omaha! read more

Watch out, Apocalypse. Very safe and great time! Went with friends and learned an interesting new skill. Instruction was great and quickly was able to stick an axe in the bullseye...party of four and I probably threw the axe 50 times in one hour. They serve beer and go a great job on that upsell. Staff was incredibly polite and helpful. I may come back here with my kids! read more

Really wicked cool idea. Chucking an axe at a target is a lot harder than it looks. Before you even begin, you have to do a consent form on the computers to the right as you enter. Then show ID, pay, and grab your wristband and order a drink. The drink selection is quite good, even tried a Swedish for the first time. The staff does a great job of teaching you the basics and watching everyone to help if needed. I think this would be an awesome place to have a party ! read more

Went for a corporate event while I was in town, would for sure go back. Staff was great, experience was fun.

Very disappointed that our reservation was not honored. We took our party of 12 to craft axe throwing and had an amazing time! Everything happens for a reason I suppose so thank you flying timber for turning us onto a truly professional and courteous option with CRAFT read more

What a neat new activity for the metro area! This clean, fun loving activity is great for adults of groups in all sizes. When you first walk in you sign an electronic waiver and then head the front desk to show your ID. I love all the safety aspects the venue has to offer. After you show your ID, you get a wrist band. From there you have to walk from the reception area to the various lanes that your assigned to. You must stop and show your wrist band for another safety check point. Various employees from this establishment are placed throughout the venue to help with grips, how to throw, and best practices for aiming towards the target. Be sure to review the trifold on top of the tables for the various games you can play while throwing axes. My group stuck to the traditional version and had a lot of fun. I would consider this to be similar to bowling or everyone gets 10 chances to get the most points. I highly recommend this activity !!! read more

Flying Timber is the place to go if you're looking for something different to do! Staff was great and very helpful! Sam gave us great tips for throwing and actually scoring;) We will definitely be going back! read more

This was the most fun and frustrating activity I've done. We had some good laughs, and it's easy to learn. I failed at axe throwing, my son did awesome. It's a fun activity for a group of people, friends, or family! It's scored like putt putt golf, or darts. The staff was very helpful and gave tips to us who were struggling with our throws. I would highly recommend this place for something different for a clean fun activity! read more

Great time! Family friendly or like the people next to us, great couples activity! Took our three teenage girls and had an awesome time! Like bowling, but much more fun! By the end of the hour, we all had the hang of it. Completely safe and completely fun! Competitive as you want it to be. We will go back for sure! Owner, Matt and Throw Coach Eric are awesome. They give you the secrets! I was amazed that they served beer, but they have a nice selection. Enjoy! read more

This place was a lot of fun. I think the best endorsement I can give a place is to say I'll go back. And we'll definitely do this again. You go in, sign an electronic waiver, and get a demonstration from an assigned staff member. There are steel-netting lanes with a wood bullseye target. You're pretty much playing darts with a hand axe. We got a half hour of unlimited throwing on one lane for $10 each. Make sure to wear close toe shoes or you'll have to rent them. By the end, the wife and I were regularly sticking the axe into the target, and even got a few bullseyes. Lots of fun. read more

What an AMAZING adult night out! Easy to check in and to get going with our coach. Anna was skilled and patient walking us through the learning process. A great place to go and have some fun with a group of friends! Our group is really looking forward to the next night of axe throwing. read more

Looking for something different to do with a group of friends or family of all ages? This is the activity for you. The staff are friendly and provide personalized coaching tips. It was easy to learn and fun environment. We spent $70 for two people for two hour rental so it was a little more expensive than bowling but still a fun night out! Parking was available right out front with meters. read more

Loads of fun!!!! Great staff!! We will be back. Was on a business trip and looking for something to do with co-workers. Very happy we tried this!!! We will do it again!!! read more

We had the instructor Eric and could not have been more disappointed or uncomfortable. He was rude, unhelpful, and very immature. If it weren't for him this may have been a quite enjoyable time! Instead he made of one of our appearances, constantly criticized, and was bossy. It was hard to have fun and concentrate when every time we threw he stood in back and told us what we were doing wrong. We will go axe throwing again but NOT here. read more

This was so much fun! The process to sign up was easy, the staff was friendly and helpful and I loved it! If you are hesitant I wood 10/10 recommend you try it out!! read more
