AxeVentures Axe Throwing

Friends invited me to AxeVentures for my 20th birthday and we played for 75 minutes. SO fun and exhilarating -- those 75 minutes passed by in a flash. They have a decent assortment of different axes with various weights and shapes to accommodate all players, and the coaches walk you through the entire process + safety before you begin play. They also provide clipboards with different games and rules for groups that want to play for points or compete!Definitely one of the more unique activity spots in Berkeley -- will definitely be coming back to de-stress from finals.

If you're looking for a unique and exhilarating activity, AxeVentures is the place to be! I recently visited with my hubby through a Yelp event, and we had an absolute blast. The facility is spotless and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and enjoyable experience from start to finish.The staff here are incredible - super friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help you perfect your axe-throwing skills. They made us feel welcome and ensured we were safe while having fun. Time flew by because we were having so much fun!They offer the perfect blend of excitement and camaraderie, making it ideal for a great time out. We're already planning our next visit with a larger group of friends.

This little spot is a whole in the wall hidden gem. My boyfriend randomly booked a 1 hour and 15 minute session for us and his 4 friends yesterday since it was raining and it's a cool indoor activity. It was a good deal, $200 for all 6 of us. You get there, sign a waiver, then the coaches quickly provide an overview of how to throw the axes / safety briefing, from there you get to get to it. They have instructions for games you can try, but we just did 3 on 3 and counted our points. Time flies so I definitely recommend booking longer than an hour. There are 4 different axes that come standard but they have additional options you can pay extra for. You can also buy balloons/other targets which is cool. I was a bit apprehensive at first because it is literally axes, but I got the hang of it bit by bit and enjoyed myself! Everyone that worked there was cool and helpful. I'd definitely go back

This was such a fun and welcoming first-time experience! The booking was for 75 mins, which is plenty of time to have fun and get an arm workout out of it. The staff showed us how to safely throw the axe and tips on how to aim better. It was a quick tutorial but very helpful to get started; they're also available if you need help. There are 4 axe sizes you can play around with. The place was nicely decorated and well-kept. It does get hot and stuffy after a while if there are lots of ppl. Overall, I would def recommend this place for a fun activity. They also have a cool glow-in-the dark experience on weeknights!

Stumbled upon this activity through Groupon. Location is nice as it's near some good restaurants so you can grab some grub before heading over. It was easy for me to find parking on the street as well. The staff is nice and efficient. They do a quick tutorial which is very much needed since I've never thrown an axe. There's some binders that have game ideas so that you and your group can have some sort of competition.There's snacks (like oreos, candy, etc) for sale, but it seems you can bring in your own food too (probably not alcohol though.. that would be a dangerous mix). I got bored after a while, so we didn't stay our full allotted time, but I'm glad I tried it.

This was definitely a fun experience! It was something I always wanted to give a try and so we finally made the reservation and trip to throw some axes. We had a party of 3 on a weekday, and had 2 lanes to ourselves! They gave good, quick instructions and we started throwing! Our 13 year old was able to throw axes with no problem. And we all had a good time! Definitely recommend coming here! Worth whatever little drive! Good for family activity or date night!

My husband and I decided to have a date night since we hadn't one in sooooo long. It was definitely long overdue!! Lol We decided to have dinner at Kamado and then travelled down to AxeVentures to do some axe throwing. The staffs [Peter, Ella/Elle (sorry, I apologize! I forgot her name), and Jasmin] were really nice and friendly! They were really informative with the rules and safety of handling the axes. Ella/Elle was really informative with the instructions and the demonstration of throwing an axe. The staffs were really chill and down to earth and totally friendly to us and the other customers there.We went on a Friday night and that was their Glow In The Dark night. It was really cool! Overall, my husband and I had fun! For a first time axe thrower, it wasn't too hard to get the hang of it and you'll definitely have fun! They have street parking only and the location is on one of the busier streets of Berkeley. So, you have to park in the residential area and walk a couple blocks or so. It's not too bad though. However, if you're lucky and find a parking spot on Telegraph Ave, that's when better for you!

A little friendly competition never hurt anyone! Glad I ran into this place There were 5 targets in the back which was great because we ended up going in a group. We were able to take turns. The quick tips were good and informative. We started to get a little more competitive, and we realized that some of the axes were sticking better to the boards that weren't completely butchered. The one on the far left was falling apart and the one on the right was completely new. We had an amazing time throwing axes. It was a great work out. My only tip was it was 80* in Berkeley that day and it was hot and felt like there was no ventilation. They can really upgrade to AC. The fan wasn't helping which tired us pretty quickly. I'd def go back again but maybe during rainy season.

Such a great hidden gem! The 75 minute booking is a pretty great deal and feels like plenty of time to try all of the axes.The safety and how to presentation is very quick but extremely helpful, and you're able to jump right in! It's very trial and error but everyone gets the hang of it after a few tries. Would highly recommend!

The margaritas were really strong and the axes very sharp! We came on two for one shot night!
