10 Game & Entertainment Centers in Winnipeg That You Shouldn't Miss

December 29, 2021 Ying Subia

Any city that can be the butt of a Simpson's joke ("That's it! We're all going back to Winnipeg!") and simultaneously one of the most vibrant cultural centers in Canada is tops in our book. The city's history of isolation and self-sufficiency means that Winnipeggers are unpretentious and sincere (and fun-loving enough to name Homer an honorary citizen). Though the winters are long and cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to both keep you warm and stimulate your imagination.

Bad Axe Throwing

Axe Throwing is a sport generally associated with loggers and lumberjacks, but we've brought the sport to Winnipeg (6-1393 Border Street) and turned it into a fun and exciting activity far more satisfying than miniature golf and laser tag. Bad Axe throwing is rated top-ranked activity for "Fun Activities & Games” according to TripAdvisor. It has proven popular with social gatherings along the lines of team-building exercises and birthday events. We have qualified instructors that will teach you the rules, safety precautions and basic techniques of hurling hatchets across a room, and by the end of the session participants can face off in fun games and a mini-tournament. We're the premier destination for birthday parties, corporate events, bachelor & bachelorette parties, any special occasions, or people looking for a fun outing with friends. Whether it's to pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill, our unique axe throwing experience is done in a fun & casual urban atmosphere.

Activate Games

Activate is a state of the art facility with a wide variety of gaming experiences. You and your group enter inside a video game experience and become the players to actively and mentally complete challenges. Unlike virtual reality, Activate is a real life experience. Each player is given an electronic wristband synced to their player profile to track scores and game completion.

Activate is unlike any other place I’ve experienced. I’ve been here twice: once for a girls night and the second time for my boyfriend’s birthday. As a 20-something year old, it’s not easy to find group activities that don’t involve going to a bar or going to the movies. This is a fun, active, social activity with the right amount of time (90 mins) and varying levels for any age. We’re fortunate to have something like this in Winnipeg!

Players go head-to-head throwing forged steel and splintering wood for points. Our skilled AXE Coaches will facilitate your event by teaching range safety, throwing fundamentals of different axes (and knives if you’re lucky). Events run for about 2 hours with plenty of game and social time. We’ll supply everything else, from axes and targets to liquor service and catering if needed.

We had our son's party here recently. The attendant was very attentive always asking what she can do for us. The other staff was very friendly as well. The party room was an improvement over the last time we were there for a party, being significantly larger. For the 3 included activities in our package, we got to choose any combination of mini golf, bumper cars and laser tag. Also included were $5 worth of credit for the arcade. You have to order food/drinks from them (included in package) but you can bring cake.
