    Lots of fun with a group. Recently went on a work team building event and had a great time. They give you instruction on how to throw and how to run the games. It is like bowling for a new age with more flannel and you don’t have to take your shoes off. They have lots of space for a large groups, nice bar (cans only for safety reasons) and fun side games. Highly recommend. This is blast that is guaranteed ti make memories. They even have lots of tvs so you can watch the big game and chill.

    If you are like me, you have a moment where you think... Hmm axe throwing. Really?!? But yes it's amazing. Great atmosphere wonderful time and direction. Really a great place to be active but social. I'd recommend for any gathering. They also have escape rooms!!

    We came for a bachelorette party and had so much fun! Easy to make a reservation, sign a waiver, and check in. Fun games and the staff was wonderful. We’ll be back!

    An absolutely fantastic place for date night. We had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Brian checked us in and was very friendly when explaining all the details and how to get started - super guy! During our session, the staff checked on us... and even at the end, Matt went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. The staff was engaging and inviting - which made the whole visit fun and memorable. Thank you to Matt, Brian, and Aaron for taking such good care of us. It was such a blast and we will for sure be back!

    First time throwing axes, great experience! Very helpful explaining the games and safety protocols, even took the time to give us pointers on how to throw better. Atmosphere is outstanding, many other games to play before or after you axe throwing session. Highly recommended!

    Went with a friend for a girls night and loved it! Very warm welcoming atmosphere, awesome staff. Neither of us had ever done axe throwing before and the owners taught us so well both of us threw perfectly first try. Will definitely be back again!

    Appleton Axe is such a fun place to hang out with coworkers and friends! We came for a work event and the staff were super friendly and set up tables for our food and gave us lessons when we were struggling. It was an enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend to others.

    Appleton axe is a great axe throwing venue. Red really knows his stuff and how to treat you. A good beverage selection. Projectors with fun games or traditional bullseye targets. Super cute merch. Great photo ops for groups. Shuffle board, cornhole and an Escape room !

  • 5/5 James S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to go and have fun. I would recommend this to anyone. The staff was great especially KIT. THANK YOU!

  • 5/5 Nate H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! As a professional axe thrower and venue owner myself I've been to many axe throwing facilities. This was by far one of the best I've seen! I love the decorations, the vibe, the workers and everything about it. The 2 gentlemen working Friday night (12-2-22) were as patient and accommodating as it gets. Hats off!

  • 4/5 tony s. 1 year ago on Google
    We went in for a double date. It was a lot of fun and our first time doing it. The price does seem expensive at $25 a person but there is a lot of costs I'm sure. That have a pretty decent beer selection, they had some other games I saw, not sure if those are part of the price or extra. It reminded me of a game place in Denver that had a bunch of different stuff like bowling, a giant scrabble board, darts, pool, a little of everything it also had a bar and was for adults. Maybe some day this place will add stuff like that, it already has a good start and would be awesome for the valley.

    I went there for part of my bachelor party. We had an amazing time. We were greeted by Aubree and Carson. They were amazing and explained everything in a safe and fun way. We had a blast and had great conversations with all staff including Red, who was very friendly and made it fun.

  • 5/5 Melody R. 5 months ago on Google
    Yo this is my second time here and it won’t be my last! Coach red is absolutely amazing and made sure me and my friends were well taken care of! Great atmosphere, great drink selection, 10 stars will definitely return!

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 9 months ago on Google
    First time visiting and it was great! TJ helped train us to make our experience the best it could possibly be. The facility was clean and up to date. Drinks were reasonably priced and it was a great experience overall.

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 4 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Erin M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had our Birthday this past weekend and our party was a huge success! Love the Birthday board and free drink and chance to hit the card with an axe. So much fun! I highly recommend this experience. 🙂

  • 5/5 Amy K. 1 year ago on Google
    My sister, our friend and I had our Birthday Party at Appleton Axe last night. We had a large group and the staff was very welcoming. Everyone had a blast. We were able to bring in food, throw axes, play games and received a few birthday surprises which made the night that much more special. Thank you for making our night awesome! I would definitely recommend hosting a special event at this location!

  • 5/5 Heather S. 1 year ago on Google
    Our axe masters were Josie, Ethan and Brian were amazing! Such a fun place to hang out. Good music, drinks and other games around the building. They even showed us some cool tricks at the end!

  • 5/5 Lora Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great time! The staff is wonderful in helping perfect your axe throwing. Beer choices are wonderful! Definitely recommend!!!

  • 4/5 Michelle E. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun experience. Staff wasn't quite as helpful with throwing suggestions / techniques as other places we've been. But they have fun game set ups (a lot more than just axe throwing available too), the digital boards & scoring is really nice. It can be a little packed if you have quite a few people on each lane.

  • 5/5 Madison H. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible experience! This was my first time here on a Saturday night, 2 days before Halloween with my large group of co-workers. The decorations and creepy music really set the scene and I liked seeing the employees dress up in costumes; they were very welcoming and helpful too for first time axe throwers. I will definitely be going again!

  • 5/5 Grace B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beyond awesome experience, it was our first time here! All staff very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something different for a date night, you’d be surprised I’ve beat my husbands score in multiple games!

  • 5/5 Charles B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great! Fun atmosphere, great for group outings or just a date night. Good beer selection, other fun games to play, friendly staff and great coaching for your first time. Prices are pretty reasonable too, we will be back!

  • 5/5 Alexandria Johnson (. 3 years ago on Google
    So much fun! Was out with the girls and stopped on a whim - best idea ever! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and so much fun. Even though we had never done it before, they taught us well, have us pointers and checked up on us throughout our throwing. Can't wait to go back again and bring the hubby!!!

  • 5/5 Greg S. 2 years ago on Google
    Always great, safe fun with friends! They always do a terrific job of making sure your group has a blast! Great instructors, great beverages really easy to use scoring!

  • 4/5 Mattie P (. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. Just wish the difficulty of the games could be set per player (for the games with a difficulty choice) as I'm pretty good and everyone I play isn't all that great. Doesn't make for as much fun when I'm waxing everyone or not trying very hard. There has to be a fix for that. I do recommend this place though and will continue to frequent. My kids say dad has finally found his happy place. Well I mean, who didn't want to throw axes and drink some pretty decent beers. (the craft beer selection could vary and change too)
