👍👍 SOOOO much fun! I had never thrown axes, really, before that. Blade and Timber was a great place for a first experience. The facility is very nice and conducive to axe throwing. The staff, our coach was Brad, was fantastic at teaching us how to properly throw and how to remain safe while doing so......

    SOOOO much fun! I had never thrown axes, really, before that. Blade and Timber was a great place for a first experience. The facility is very nice and conducive to axe throwing. The staff, our coach was Brad, was fantastic at teaching us how to properly throw and how to remain safe while doing so... As well as open to summer banter and laughs. I cannot wait to go again.

    Had fun throwing axes however the rules are very strict when it came to just enjoying yourself. I understand safety but if someone has done it before it could be a little more relaxed.

    It was so fabulous! It's so much fun, and easy enough that you can learn it quickly. There's different games to play, you can even throw 2 axes at once. The employees are extremely helpful and teach you how to throw them and give you pointers as you play, but without being over bearing. Also, my drink was always cold and the food looked good. They serve alcohol here. You have to wear a mask while you're inside, even while throwing the axes which was a bit annoying. It's at power and light so parking is a little scarce. Also, it's $27 per person to throw axes for 90 minutes.

    We had lots of fun! Really neat concept. The instructors came and helped you along until you had enough of a grip on things to continue without them. Food was delicious we had the cheese curds. Pricing was a little high but it was worth it for a weekend out.

    First time experience and I had lots of fun. Employee took time to show me how to throw properly and in a few minutes I was a natural.

  • 5/5 Catherina M. 7 months ago on Google
    1.5 hrs went by way quicker than I expected for just two of us! Super fun and food was good. The staff was knowledgeable and aside from going through the rules as expected before we started throwing, they did more than I expected, with tips and checking in throughout our time there. Would def go again!

    Didn’t try any food, however other tables got delicious looking food quickly! Nothing got sent back and patrons seemed very pleased. We had ANTHONY as our “lane master”. Previously a Boy Scout, he has lots of knowledge — including CPR basics. He was very good at the first run down; safety and throwing techniques. Anthony also had plenty of other tips and tricks during our 1.5 hour session to help with hitting the board. Very professional and friendly. The bartender was a doll! A Navy veteran, I was incredibly pleased to hear this job works with his school schedule, and he is on track to be an electrical engineer soon! My party and I had a great time! Will definitely be back, and we will be checking out other locations. Wether it’s 2 or 10, axe throwing is a fun time! Give it a try ❤️

    The environment was really fun, and the instructing phase was quick and easy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend getting a lane next to the photo booth so that you won't have different groups swarming all around you. All in all, it was a great time.

    We stayed across the street at Hotel Kansas City and decided ax throwing would be fun. Our 10 year old said it was the best part of the trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. Food was decent. We had a great time.

  • 5/5 Levi M. 5 months ago on Google
    Fun place to go for meetings or team building. Family or friends events. Staff is very friendly and super helpful for both food service and ax throwing advice and guidance. Parking is s but if a problem so plan on a little bit of a walk after you park. Good was good drink selection was good. Lots of fun throwing axes. Probably the best ax throwing experience I have had to date. Highly recommend a visit.

    It was a novel experience. Fun time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Josh was a great coach. Decent price on drinks. Food wasn’t great. Parking isn’t easy/cheap at this location.

  • 5/5 Brandi F. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for our first time today and it was a total blast! I was a little nervous to throw but Joshua was amazing at explaining everything and giving throwing lessons. Give ya man Josh a raise!

  • 5/5 Tina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Blade & Timber is a great place to go for education, fun, and booze. Vince and John take great care of us every time we go and would 1000000% recommend for date night!

  • 5/5 Janet M. 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely loved this place. Antonio was amazing and took great care of us.

  • 5/5 Beau B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been twice now. Once to throw axes and once for food and drinks. Great experience both times. Liz helped make both trips great!

  • 5/5 Jay L. 1 year ago on Google
    Was at a class and the sub group that I was assigned, took me here, to blow off some steam. I normally would think that beer and axe throwing would be a terrible idea, but was great.

  • 5/5 Darnell C. 1 year ago on Google
    Blade & Timber us absolutely a fun experience for a good date night, time with friends, or a team building event with coworkers! First time axe throwing? No problem, the well trained staff will walk you through a safe experience and will periodically check in to give tips and advice. Don't enjoy large crowds, give them a try on a Monday!

  • 5/5 Bret W. 2 years ago on Google
    We came in a little late but they got us quickly seated went through the safety and we got to throw for about an hour at the end of the night. Super fun would definitely do it again. Everybody was helpful and friendly.

  • 5/5 Anne H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great time! The staff were really helpful showing us how to throw the axes. This was my first time and I was able to stick it! Lots of fun! I definitely recommend for a fun time with friends!

  • 5/5 Ally J. 2 years ago on Google
    Don’t forget your close-toed shoes but if you do forget them they have crocs for you to wear. You can throw some axes and buy some bar food. It’s a bit pricey but it is in the entertainment district. Can’t speak for the food but the service was great.

    Had a great time. The staff was very friendly and did everything to make you feel welcome! Even had some luck throwing an axe.

  • 5/5 Raychel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun games! Great staff! We were not sure what to expect but we were happy we went. The check in process was quick, you can also do the waiver online before you come. The place was somewhat empty when we went in the afternoon. The staff was really nice and explained everything about axe throwing very well. We grabbed drinks and played for an hour which seemed like it flew by! They do have food but we did not try any. Axe throwing was so much fun! One of the associates came to show us 2 axes at once at the end. It was a little hot in there and our competitive nature was working up a pretty good sweat. Even with sweat and arguments over how to count points… we loved every minute. We have been telling everyone… We will definitely be back!

    Visited with my wife and our girlfriend - the experience is cool, pricey for what it is, but cool. They definitely had a blast and I had fun as well. Kind of a fun sport, so the following weekend, I bought an Eastwing hatchet and created my own setup at my ranch. 😜
