The Experience

Honestly, I didn’t expect to get hooked on axe throwing, but here we are. The place is just a quick drive from downtown Victoria—close enough that you can still smell the ocean air if you crack a window before heading inside. When we arrived, our host was already waiting at the front desk, chatting with a couple who’d come straight from brunch at Jam Café (I overheard them comparing pancakes and axes—only in Victoria). Signing in took maybe five minutes; they’re pretty organized about waivers and safety stuff.

The session kicked off right on the hour. Our coach—Sarah, who’s apparently competed in tournaments—walked us through the basics: how to grip the axe (not too tight), where to stand, and what not to do if you want to keep your toes intact. She had this way of making everyone laugh while still keeping things safe. The first throw felt weirdly satisfying, even though I missed by a mile and the axe made this thunk that echoed around the room. There’s something about the smell of wood and metal mixed together that just feels right on a rainy West Coast afternoon.

After some practice rounds (and a few friendly jabs from my friends), Sarah showed us trick shots—like underhand throws—and set up team games. Turns out, it gets competitive fast, but nobody takes themselves too seriously. You’ll hear cheers and groans from every lane. By the end of our hour, even my cousin (who’d never held an axe before) was nailing bullseyes. If you’re coming with kids or teens, just remember anyone under 19 needs an adult along for the ride.

Top questions

Is axe throwing safe for beginners?

Absolutely! Our coaches walk you through safety rules and proper technique before you start. We make sure everyone feels comfortable before any axes fly.

Can I bring my kids?

Kids aged 10 and up are welcome as long as they’re with an adult. It’s a great family activity—just make sure everyone wears closed-toe shoes.

Do I need to book ahead?

We recommend booking ahead or giving us a call since sessions fill up quickly, especially on weekends or rainy days.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes are best—think sneakers or boots. No sandals or flip-flops allowed for safety reasons.
