    My wife took me here during a surprise birthday celebration she was doing for me. I never knew…read morethis place existed as it's tucked away in business complex and I don't even remember if there was much signage (it was raining pretty hard and night time). The first great part is when we got out and my wife opened the trunk to reveal a packed cooler of beer! Now, I should note that while you are allowed to bring alcohol, you can't bring hard liquor and you cannot be visibly intoxicated or they will not admit you (probably a smart thing). We had to sign a waiver of course in the event we chopped a limb off (we didn't). And then we were taken back to our lanes. It was a Saturday night and most of the lanes were full, we had two towards the back. One of the employees walked everyone through how we should throw and gave a couple of pointers before everyone took their time to give it a shot. They had great music, it's a relaxed atmosphere and everyone working there was great. We had a phenomenal time and will definitely be returning!

    Very fun experience. Three axes you get to handle and throw for either a one hour or two hour…read moresession depending on which duration you pick. You have an S hook Axe (heaviest out of the three), Hatchet (Typical Axe), or the Tomahawk Axe. Close to the end of the session they bring out a Firemen Axe that you can attempt to throw at the target and is easiest the hardest to maneuver. In addition to the Axe throwing, they have a fun baskettball arcade two person competition game that you all should be familiar from the days of your childhood arcade days and many other fun games such as shuffle board, Jenga, darts etc. This is perfect if you have a large party and are waiting your turn to throw as you can play a fun game while you wait. When I think of Axe throwing I am reminded of the beginning of the movie, "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner. There is a scene where someone is trying to recruit him to take on the bodyguard job and he is leisurely lobbing an axe at a wooden stake trying to land a shot. I can now see the allure of such a skillful and cathartic experience. As always people SYOY!!!

    What a great night! Came here with 2 friends on a Friday night and had a blast. This place is HUGE…read moreso you never feel crowded which I've seen at other axe throwing places. The owners are super friendly and eager to teach customers. They even gave us helpful tips which actually helped my aim and throw. The game itself is setup tournament style - so you'll play 3 rounds with every player to determine how you're placed and then it turns into a tournament and you can see a bracket of how everyone proceeds. If a tiebreaker is needed, the BIG AXE is brought out. This thing is a beast but super fun to use. You definitely end up working up a sweat by the end of the night haha The set up is really nice, including the virtual screens which makes it so easy to track points - it's a screen that matches the board and you just tap the screen to where the axe landed or select drop when it doesn't make it in the board. It's super easy and if you make a mistake, it's easy to fix too. They also have other games you can play such as pool, shuffleboard, and table hockey. The owners told me they're expanding and adding more games so be on the lookout for that. This place is BYOB - beer & wine only and also Bring Your Own Food which is convenient for when you have picky taste like I do. This place definitely stands out from your other axe throwing spots - feels like we had the place to our own and everyone was so nice and helpful. This will be my go to spot and can't wait to come back!

    Never thrown an Axe before and didn't really know much about the spot, so wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect. First thing you notice when walking in is how spacious the place is. Not just Axe throwing there are other things to do - pool table, shuffleboard(my favorite) and couple other things. BYOB - bring your own drinks and put in their fridges. Didn't think I would have nearly as much fun as I did. Went for a private event with 20+ people and everyone was blown away by how much fun they had. The 2 hours flew by. The hosts were excellent and made sure we were taken care of. The instructor explained everything well and electronic scoring is very neat. Was terrible the first few throws but once you figure out the distance and style that works for you it gets a lot easier! Would definitely recommend giving this place a try. Tons of parking outside.

    What a fun place! It turned out way better than I expected. This is our first time here but I think…read morewe will come back to try other menu items. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. In addition to all the regular seats and a full bar area, there's an arcade in the back and an area for axe throwing! Food presentation seems to be "cleaner" than other similar places. Their menu is on the shorter side, but it covers all the staples. My only criticism is about their soda glasses--way too small, only 8 oz, and the coke tasted really flat tonight.

    It's been an all-Norristown kind of weekend- VonC, 5Saints, Theater Horizon so we wanted to check…read moreout this new place. It's huge inside, clean, and well decorated. We ate at the bar- patacones and mole enchiladas were good. They made a solid old--fashioned after the first, less than stellar attempt (which they didn't charge for). After dinner, we went into the room next door to play some arcade games. There is also a karaoke room, axe throwing and darts. I heard they also have a rooftop. We got there early-ish and it wasn't crowded. It's a nice addition to the local scene and something families and adults can enjoy, so hoping it does well.

    Pretty typical axe throwing place. It's a bit smaller than…read moreI anticipated with only about 7-8 throwing areas. Decent vibe with cable spool tables etc. they had big table games to also spend some time. The new Bar is a nice addition being able to get a drink but now you can't BYOB The boards could have been better as they seemed a bit dry and beat up.

    My brother won a gift certificate for Tilted Axes and invited me to come with him as it was for two…read morepeople for two hours. What he didn't realize was there was an expiration date, but thankfully for some nice customer service, we were allowed to use it the day after expiration as we set up in advance a date and time that the facility advised would work - 4pm on a Saturday. We arrived to a majority empty place which turned out to be in our favor. We got a lane to ourselves and almost a private lesson on how to throw from our AxeMaster. There are three styles of axes. Two are two-handed throwers, and then a hatchet which is a one-hand throw. They all have their positives and negatives with their weight and accuracy, but we got enough time to toss them all. Our two-hour session started with 10 minutes on each of the two axes and hatchet. It was almost getting monotonous but quickly we were getting the hang of each one and the characteristics needed to make accurate throws. Our AxeMaster would provide pointers after each throw to improve our skills. Then, let the games begin! We played several games. First was a 20-throw high score wins. Every fifth round you could go for a "kill" shot which was the tiny blue dot on each upper left and right of the bullseye target. 10 points to succeed, zero if you fail. 99% of the time you fail. Second game was to have an imaginary tic-tac-toe board and win that game. Another game was to hit each level of bullseye twice and then end the game with a kill shot. We then played another 20-throw high score. When it came to the kill shot to win, this took a very long time and we almost didn't have enough time to play the second 20-throw. But, I finally got it and we played. Happy to say I won everything except tic-tac-toe. The facility has at least 10 lanes to throw, a small lounge with some video games and pool table, a stage area for bands or comedians, and plenty of tables to stand around and watch the TVs or people throwing. There are competition leagues and Tilted Axes is certified to have them. They sell a little bit of food, but you can bring in all you want and beer, too. If this place was crowded, and our AxeMaster said it does at times, I do not know if we would have had as much fun because of the diminished time you would have had to throw and the hour or two does go quickly. While you are playing your games, you do have the option to switch out which axe you can throw. You have to sign waivers which are done electronically. Don't forget to tip your AxeMaster! We had a great time and our shoulders are a little bit sore. We really liked the experience and would definitely do it again! We had a gift certificate, but I was told a two-hour session is about $42 for one person, and about $25 for a one-hour session. I'm sure the website has the group rates and competition league rates and rules.

    This place is sus...as in suspect…read more Your looking at decent wait times for your chance to race on a race track and the controls have attention warnings that mean you have to slow down....legit the system will override you and you will stall out. I personally hate that shit, if I am being a fool I would like the opportunity to hit the wall and learn for my self. Another mention that I have to detail is legit the bathroom was one of the worst kept bathrooms I have ever seen. It looks like a bathroom out of your high school but never attended to. The arcade looks fairly decent however my nephews that attempted to have some fun at the arcade said most of the games were out of order. Although I personally enjoyed myself as this was a new experience racing a go-kart I have to advise you should go to a different spot for this activity. We initially wanted to go to Arnold's Fun Center in Oaks, PA to race but they recently changed the hours and that is why we ended up at this location. Also, be careful if you pay in cash as I received the wrong change and they had to get the manager involved in how to break a $100 dollar bill. If you do choose to pay credit card they will charge you an added fee btw. As always people SYOY!!!

They…read moredo have an online system which is a plus so you aren't stuck there waiting until it's your turn. I think It's better if you go with a lot of people so you can race each other. If not, other people will be apart of your race. The food options are CRAPPY. Definitely eat before you go. They have a couple of "arcade" games for kids but they are definitely out of date. The rock climbing wall was closed when I went. Not sure if it's a seasonal thing or not. There is a one membership fee when you sign up. Not really beneficial if you don't plan on going multiple times a year. Overall, this place needs some updates if it wants to keep people coming. There are more fun places to go.
