AxeHouse Tucson

We were gifted a Groupon for two people to go to the Axe House and were just a little skeptical since there weren't many reviews. We gave it a shot and ended up having a great time! We reserved our spot in one of the three lanes (each lane has two targets you can throw at at once), and were paired up with a family of four. They were very friendly, so we all just rotated through to all take turns throwing the axes. The axes are only a couple pounds, so not too heavy, but if it's your first time it definitely takes a little while to get the hang of. There is an employee nearby at all times to go through safety rules, teach throwing techniques, and provide advise throughout the two-hour time period. Once we got the hang of things, he even suggested some games we could play to make things more competitive. Overall, we had a great time. Is it worth $30/person? Perhaps. But I think the $42 Groupon is much more reasonable, and a price point where I'd likely return more frequently rather than 1x per year because of the cost. At $30/person you're looking at a cost similar to Top Golf which has far better facilities and higher overhead than a garage with wood to toss axes at. I'm not sure how it compares to other axe throwing places in town, but I will mention it's in an outdoor garage-type of venue. Not a nice, air conditioned building like others seem to have. The main reasons I docked a star are because of the price and the lack of air conditioning (I was definitely sweating!). I didn't venture to the bathroom because I read that it's just a port-a-potty, so made sure I went before we arrived. Again, for the price I'd hope for a decent bathroom! Bottom line, it's a fun date night and would be a lot of fun with a group of friends,.however would be even better if it was more reasonably priced!

Me and my husband came on a date and had a fun time learning how to Axe Throw! Location was a little hard to find, but that was the only hiccup in our time. Axe throwing is quite exhausting and I would recommend taking a group of friends, it would be a great activity for a group. The staff was very professional and friendly. Overall had a great time!

It was super fun! Who know throwing axes would be such a blast? We did have to share the lane with another group, which we thought was odd at first. However, the other group ended up being cool and we had a great time getting to know them. Our groups mingled and took turns, it worked out. The axeperts helped us all with our technique and made sure we all learned so we could actually stick something! If I had to say anything negative about the experience, and this would only be because I am female and all the other females out there will appreciate this. The bathroom situation is rough. All they have is port-a-potties. Now, I can use a port-a-potty, the issue I had is that it is pitched black and dark where they are at. My husband had to stand with the door cracked and his flashlight pointing in just so I could see what I was doing. So, ladies, if you go to the little girls room while you are there, bring a flashlight-holding-friend or you will be in the dark, in a port-a-potty.

Great and fun place to go to. Workers were very nice and friendly. They even allow us to use lane and play after hour.

This was our first experience axe throwing and the axehouse staff did an amazing job of walking us through it. They are very patient with teaching and ultimately just want you to have a great time. After our first few sticks we were hooked. We'll definitely be back.
