My 10-yr old nephew and I tried this place out. First time axe-throwing for us both. Laid-back, fun environment. Its nice to have an hour (or 2 or 3, etc) just to throw at your own pace and rules. Enjoyable way to spend time together. Never felt pressured or rushed. Staff was helpful and never annoying.

This place was so much fun! We came as a family of 4, two adults, two teenagers. We all had a great time. We didn’t have a reservation, but the staff was able to work us in really quickly. The two gentlemen working that night were SO BUSY, yet so fun and polite. They gave a great demo, and checked on us frequently. Great experience for all of us. We will definitely be back!

Awesome employees. Took my son who recently turned 18 there for his birthday. We had a blast. Prices were a little high but not unreasonable. We will definitely go back.

First time threw axes and had a wonderful experience all my friends greatly enjoyed as well. The staff were very friendly and I would recommend it to any that’s looking to have a good fun time. Thanks Craft Axe for showing us one.

Lots of fun! A little expensive, but worth it! We spent about an hour there and had 2 lanes with 5 guys on each lane. The other lane had 5 games in and we got 3 in (our lane talked more and threw less lol).

If you’re new to axe throwing, this is a great opportunity to learn it. The price is a bit high, but it’s worth the price for a really fun time! They have different stalls for up to about 8-10 people, which can get a bit crowded. I would recommend going with a smaller group so you could throw more and enjoy your time more. Overall I would rate this an excellent experience and recommend everyone learning how to throw an axe! It’s fun!

Very boring!!!!! Only one person can throw at a time. Only one way to throw too. I’m a axe coach wanting to experience other places. It sucked here. The coaches were nice but dang.... for the price we paid not worth it! Go some where they will show you some fun ways to throw!

This place was a blast. Some colleagues and I had an outing here last weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Zach was super helpful and explained everything in great detail. And they serve beer! What more could you ask for? We will definitely be returning.

I went on Valentines Day with my husband and our 15 year old. We all had a blast, and will definitely come again. She even asked if we could have her birthday party there next year. The staff was very knowledgeable about how to throw and were eager to help if we asked. There was plenty of safety procedures in place and I felt totally comfortable being there with a teenager. There are game suggestions on the wall of each lane and we all three enjoyed being as competitive (or not) as we wanted to be.

Threw an ax, hit the bullseye, drank some beer. Not much better than that on a Saturday afternoon.

We went with a group of men and students from our church and had a great time. The atmosphere was friendly and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We will definitely come back to throw more axes!

Review №23

Where else can you do the two greatest things in the whole world... drink beer and throw axes... AT THE SAME TIME!!! Youre given great instructions, how to throw, how to score, how to apply a tourniquet (No, I just threw that in to see if you were paying attention) and how to have a good time. Good music playing for you and your favorite buds, with a nice selection of adult beverages. DO IT!!!

I had the opportunity to get together with some of my best friends and we hadn’t seen each other in a while. Craft Axe Throwing is the best place to go and have a good time with a group of people! I was hesitant at first because I’m not very good at bowling, darts, golf, the sort of things games that you would lump together. But axe throwing is definitely different. Their staff helps walk you through the process and gives you tips along the way. I definitely went from not being able to get the axe to stick to consistently hitting pretty close to where I wanted to! I felt like I improved a lot... but then again that could have been the beer they serve. Either way, Craft Axe Throwing is the best!

Review №26

Had a blast. Pricing is a bit high to rent the booth, but you do get an hour and as a date night experience you can get a lot of games in that time. Atmosphere is pretty chill and staff were great. Made for a memorable Saturday night and going from missing every throw to nailing high scores in an hour is a fantastic feeling.

Review №27

So fun! $20/person per hour. Best to make reservations ahead of time, as there are a limited number of lanes. Great demonstration, and friendly, laid back staff.We had a great time!

I came here with my girlfriend to try out ax throwing for a date (both first timers). The staff was extremely helpful with showing us the ropes and made us both feel very comfortable about throwing a sharp piece of metal for the first time! I couldnt of asked for a better experience and their local beer selection is top notch.

Went for my friends birthday on a Saturday Simple to get started, great and friendly staff, good drinks at the bar and it wasn’t super packed which made for a great atmosphere. Never had thrown an axe before and can say I’ll be back for sure. Even grabbed a really cool shirt.

I would recommend Craft Axe throwing for your party or date night. It was super fun and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Don’t know how to throw axes? That’s ok, they will teach you. We all enjoyed it!

Review №38

One of our consultants took my department out for the evening and treated us to some axe throwing. The facility is clean, if a little on the small side. We had SEVERAL 1st time axe throwers in our group. If I had one complaint it would be that some of them really could have used more instruction from the coach on duty. Some did not even stick a single axe in over an hour of throwing. That was disappointing for them and I would guess that it will certainly affect their decision to return in the future. The staff was friendly, and happily helped anytime we sought them out. I cannot speak to the cost or value for the money as we were treated by the consultants.

This place is a lot of fun. I took my 16 yr old twin daughters and they had a blast. They used every last second of our time. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you get the feel for it you feel like a pro in no time.

Went a while back and purchased a hat While there but have since moved to KC. Reached out to purchase another hat plus cover the shipping but was denied. That’s a first for me to pay for the product and mailing it and get told no...even though a response was given 25 days later.

Review №44

I guess I found out that axe throwing is not a skill.i possess, and not one I can acquire within an hour. I can see how this place would be THE BEST if you were good at this sort of thing, but if you arent good at it, you better get used to picking up an axe off the ground for an hour.Either that, or the axes were too dull to be effective.

Review №45

We went tonight for the first time and had a blast. There were two guys working at the front desk area (didnt catch names) that were extremely awesome! Their personalities alone would make us come back.

Review №46

So much fun! They have a lot of potential if they would invest a little more in aesthetics and comfort. Also, $20 a person per hour is pretty high. I would do this more often if it was half that, seeing as how I spend another $20 on beer.

Who would have thought adding throwing axes and beer would be a good combination? Good time was had by all and if your a drinker, plenty of local brews were available for purchase. Does tend to be noisy but thats what you get throwing axes against wood!

First time at this place. Great group of workers. Very friendly and enjoyed throwing the axe. I recommend this place.

Review №54

This was so much fun and well be back! The only thing that doesnt really make sense to me is you pay per person instead of per lane. You can do 30 or 60 min but its the same price per person if you have 2 or 8. Obviously the more you have the less time youll actually spend throwing. Thought that was strange, but didnt effect my good time had!! We laughed so hard!

Loud atmosphere and fun for a one time event but I couldnt imagine doing this more than once. Wish the selection of alcohol would have been better, its is limited to a few items. Good customer service though

My brother and I happened to stumble upon this place while we were on our way to 1984 while in Springfield. These guys are awesome! Weve recommended that friends stop by and check it out. Id always wanted to check out the Axe throwing scene, because it looked pretty cool. We both had a blast! Our instructor was super helpful as well. Keep up the great work guys!

Perfect for date night if youre looking for something other than dinner and a movie. The staff is great and the beer is cold. I would recommend eating beforehand since their snack selection is small and making a reservation if youre going on a Friday or Saturday.

We went on Fathers Day and dads got to throw for free. It was our first time there and they explained everything to us and let us at it. It was such a pleasant and fun experience. We took our 10 year old daughter and she had a blast. It did take her a while but she finally stuck the axe. The guys there took the time to show us some pointers and were very encouraging. We will definitely be back!

My friends and I came on my Birthday. It was easy to reserve a time, I got updates and confirmation through email. When we arrived they greeted us and made us feel welcome.

A group of us went to Craft Axe for a birthday party and had the BEST TIME. Friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere was awesomely laid back and I love the fact I was good at axe throwing. The staff was on top of everything. Changed boards as needed. Always asking if everything was okay or did we need anything. I will definitely be going back. I found my new hobby. How could you not have a great time at this establishment.

A group of us went last night and had the time of our lives! The crew was very thorough and professional, but after they explained everything they joked around with us and gave us pointers the whole time we were there. Seriously, the most fun we’ve had in a long time! We’ll be back for sure!Thanks Zack- you guys were great!

Place is fantastic. Relieve yourself from everyday stress for 20 dollars, you get to throw axes for an hour. Limited hours but worth getting there. Staff is simply amazing and extremely helpful. I will be visiting again. Plus booze

Review №88

Pretty fun time, a little more expensive then Id expect for just an hour but the price is comparable to bowling. You definitely get a work out. I had a fun time, college night is 5$ off I probably wont be going unless its college night I cant super justify 20 an hour. Maybe 25 for 2 hours 15 for one? Especially if you bring a few people it racks up fast.

Review №89

Great time! We had a group of 9 show up a few minutes late and the staff was nice as could be about it. We learned that an hour is a really long time (ha!) to throw axes, but we all had fun. The instruction before we started the activity was helpful. The coaches stayed back and only helped if you asked. Very chill environment and we would totally go back if we were in Springfield.
