Our 7 person family group had a great time in the Zen room. Everyone was able to contribute, working together on some things and independently on others. The occasional hints on the monitor were very helpful. We escaped with two and a half minutes to spare.

Craft Axe Throwing is a game that anyone can play (and win). Score points by throwing axes at a giant dartboard-like target. The closer you get to the bullseye, the more points earned. We conduct casual and competitive axe throwing events for social, corporate, and league groups. All of our events are staffed with trained instructors, helping groups nail the bullseye.

We came here with another couple as a date night out. It was so much fun! The staff are very welcoming and informative. They were helpful and they made it so fun! We enjoyed it so much we tried the prize lane and 2 of the 4 of us won prizes. They even gave us each a coupon for our next visit. They had a nice selection of drinks, corn hole, giant jenga, and of course the awesome axe throwing. They offer different specials on different nights so we plan to go again and try some of their other throwing weapons! What a blast! Professional and fun people creating a thrilling fun atmosphere!
