Throw Axe was easy to book, easy to find and after some coaching by the patient and very experienced Throw Axe staff it was easy to have a lot of fun. Before we knew it we were competing against each other. There was lots of laughing, cheering and throwing axes like professionals. As we were leaving everyone in our group of 8 began planning the next visit. Great venue, Great Staff, Great fun night.

Penrith Regional Gallery

Reviewed By jojoj899 - Sydney, Australia

Not only is this a great little art gallery but the adjoining cafe is superb. Beautiful food al fresco. For the cooler weather there are gas heaters under shelter for the warmer weather, glorious sunshine and beautiful gardens. Book a table or take a blanket and sit on the lawns. Food is amazing. Make sure you get a size of Trunkey Creek chorizo...hands down the best chorizo in Australia! Licensed and serves great organic wine also. After a great meal enjoy the art gallery, always a new exhibition. Just a beautiful place opposite the glorious Nepean River, take a leisurely stroll afterwards and take in nature’s picturesque art works to walk off your meal. Win win!

I got this as a gift from family. Took me nearly three years and covid to use it. Firstly I’d recommend going mid week rather than weekends .. my email wrongly informed of the time but luckily the original girl I spoke to told me the time so I wasn’t too much early. Being only 3 in my group, it was quick. 3 minute video, Short instructions, Suited up Then in the waiting tunnel. It’s fun but harder than it looks. I had a great instructor ( Kyle I think- he can do amazing stuff in there , flying on his own) I had2 x double turns and one double fly up. My shoulders were abit sore and upper legs , but nothing enough not to do it again It’s exhilarating.. Just do it. Lovely staff.

We have done both rooms with the kids (teenagers) and it was really exciting seeing the kids using different skills and methods to problem solve they were so excited when they worked things out by themselves. Some things were tricky and some things the kids just guessed their way through it was a great night and I would definitely recommend it to families with older kids it’s a fantastic way to get those moody teenagers out of the house and interacting with the family. Perfect for first timers like us and definitely better if you have 4 or more people.

Westfield Penrith

Reviewed By karenm642 - Sydney, Australia

Great clean easy lines. Plenty of shops, good variety. Plenty of parking and food venues . Nice straight set out... you can't get lost. But just visited again and there was a vicious fight near the Riley street entrance. No security to be seen. I walked the LENGTH of the plaza looking for a concierge desk. Didn’t see a security dude but found a tiny desk down near the food hall ... too late. There were young women being beaten by a manic young guy. Gees. Everyone just looking. Typical. Are there cameras ?? Very upsetting
