Indoor Axe Throwing Lessons & Games Near Downtown Victoria

You’ll pick up real axe throwing skills from local coaches in Victoria—no experience needed. It’s fun for groups or solo visits, rain or shine. Expect laughs, friendly competition, and a new party story.

What’s the experience like?

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.
