Oh wow what a place and what a great time we had here. From the moment we walked in we felt as if we were all in a very different time. Our axpert chipmunk was the best, he guided us and taught us how to throw an ax and have a great time doing it. I would highly recommend this place as a must do in the Tucson area. We will surely be going back on a much more regular basis plus found out that they have leagues here as well so might have to do that, try them out you guys wont regret it

This place is awesome! The staff is super nice and does a great job teaching you how to throw a axe. The owner is a super nice lady and always has a smile on her face. I cant wait till I go again.

Took no time at all to throw bulls eyes and Blue balls with a lil direction from Chipmunk. (That is a short joke by the way!) Great Time ask for the Chipster!!!

Had a blast ! It is such a weird experience to throw an axe . Fun environment and the expert Axe guides make the experience Axe-xelent!The only reason I am Not giving it 5 stars is because I wish they wouldnt add strangers to play with our already big group. If Im taking 7 people I dont need random strangers in our event. Its already big enough .

I went for my 23rd birthday and we had an absolute BLAST. SUCH a good time. Out of my party of 6 everyone got a bullseye but me . The staff were really helpful, funny, and helped make our experience as great as it was. I would love to go back.

Splitting Timber Tucson is GREAT! We took our 14 year old twins today as a little family birthday celebration for them.... we had a fantastic time! Our ax-pert was helpful & made us all feel very comfortable. The atmosphere & decor is super cool as well. The waiting area was clean & comfortable & it was super fun that they had board games like Jenga, Battleship & tic-tac-toe to play. Oh & a pool table! Can’t wait to go again!

Eric had a plethora of knowledge of throwing techniques, different axes, and took great care of us last night. He led the pace and made sure we were safe and had a blast with him. Will definitely recommend to friends and family, thanks Eric, and thanks splitting timber!

Review №22

We had a great time, good family fun! Up until the instructor insulted us by saying our tip was not good enough. He wasn’t satisfied until I gave him more. Rude!!

Review №23

I wasnt sure what to expect when my wife said she wanted to throw axes for our Valentines Day date! I am happy to say that we had a great time at Splitting Timber. Our Axe-pert Axe Solo showed us how to throw the different types of axes and we eventually got pretty good at it! We played some different games, had a fun scoring competition, and even managed to hit the bullseye a few times! This was way more fun than I thought it was going to be! I would definitely go back- this place is great for a fun and unusual date, a fun group night out or a unique team-building get-together.

Review №26

Last minute guys night and enjoyed every minute of it. Our axe master had a mustache any man would be jealous of and the Axe Puns are nearly endless while we played lets just say it made my first time at Splitting Timbers memorable for sure (in a good way). Highly recommended and we will be going back again soon.

This is great fun! Everyone in the family wants to come back and throw again. This would be great for date night too! Bring food and drinks with you. Kids have to be at least 14. Our teen loved it!

Review №29

Splitting Timbers is one of the most fun events you can do in Tucson! Amazing location that brings some entertainment to Northwest Tucson/Marana. The employees are incredible lending their axe-pertise and keep the event funny, punny and light hearted. Teams go through challenges, earn stickers for hitting special shots, and get to throw some pretty big axes Overall, you cant beat the price, the atmosphere, or the camaraderie.Giveem a try and your sure to visit again!

It was a super cool experience! I went for a Girls Night and I am looking forward to doing a couple night with my husband and some friends. The only thing I wish they had as an option would be beverage and food available in some way??? The staff was friendly a d I like that they have games available to play while waiting.

Review №32

The place is great, the staff is awesome. BUT... it would have been nice to know we had to share to stations with a group of strangers which made it very awkward. We came in with the concept of thinking we’d have our own station with our group of friends especially for the price.. please read this as feedback and let people know it’s a group with strangers or make it an option to pick.

Patrick was our axe leader. He was awesome! One of the best leaders we’ve had. He was very explanatory and patient and entertaining. It was a great time! My parent tagged along this time for their first time and they had a lot of fun. Love this place and it’s staff.

This place is such a blast! Who knew throwing a variety of axes at wooden targets could be so much fun. Josh (Captain Axe Sparrow) explained everything very well and taught us different techniques for throwing different kinds of axes. Very professional, but in a fun, light-hearted way. Great way to spend a couple of hours. Ill definitely be back.

Review №47

Over priced for the time you get throwing axes. You will be paired up with another group, if they are late and slow this will have a major impact on the amount of axes thrown. The “axepert” we had did nothing to move the other group along or make things right for us waiting for them since they were late. We waited nearly 30 mins to get started due to thisAxe throwing is fun, but find another place

Review №48

Splitting Timbers more than axeceeded my axepectations! The guys and gals that work here are incredibly sharp, and the place itself is so cutting edge— The reason for this, upon going, is obvious— The ladies that own the place have made it an inclusive spot for absolutely everyone and do such a lovely job that it feels like one big family reunion, even if you’re total stranger. Do yourself a favor, and go cut loose...like...now. You won’t regret it! Axe for Patrick!!!

Review №51

This place has great potential for fun, beautiful facility and concept, however our experience was not exactly fun. Our axe expert had his wife and her friends in our group and was more attentive to their conversations, then making us feel welcome. I wish I could give it more stars, however we felt for $50 we could have done something just the two of us for date night and had a better time.

Jo
Review №52

Had a great time! The facility was clean and they allow outside food and drink (except alcohol). The axepert was helpful and kept the humor at a PG level (they ask what your tolerance level is for the jokes and puns before hand). A great experience for a team building activity... Lots of fun for all! (Note that minimum age is 10)

Review №53

Had a great time here! At first walking into the outlet mall and seeing an axe throwing range was a little strange, but axeter we finished I ended up having a great time, it was very axeciting! Josh was our guide and was very knowledgeable and was axeuctally pretty funny (Hes also gotten me on axe puns for the day). Seemed like a fun place to hang out for an hour or so. Its a very modern and open space, and had lots of ranges to accommodate many large groups when needed. Ill definitely be swinging by again if time allows!

Josh was an amazing Axepert. He was entertaining and kept the energy level high. This is still the best place to throw axes in Tucson. They blow everybody else out of the water.

Our “Axepert” Patrick aka Ragnarok was awesome. This was our first time going there and we had such a blast. I would definitely recommend this place for anybody looking to have a good time and we are already making plans to go back for another experience so I can defend my LUMBER LORD title .

My wife surprised me, and we celebrated my birthday here; we had a blast! It was so much fun! The staff were great, friendly and patient. We were all novices and our axe-pert, Chloe, helped us with great individual tips, so we were throwing like champs in no time! I highly recommend this place, and we will definitely be back.

Review №58

Full of fun, skill, luck, and excitement.Our group had a blast just attempting to get those hatchets/axes to stick, but with the help of our friendly and engaging host (Josh) we were able to improve our skill and our fun!Not only that did he help us learn techniques but also different axe throws mix it up a bit!I would definitely come back for more!

Review №59

Our axepert was Eric and he was awesome! This place is so much fun. It’s helpful having an employee with you to give you tips and instructions. He made it so much more enjoyable. We’ve been to other axe throwing businesses and this one was by far the best. Highly recommend this place for any event or just for fun with friends and family!

Review №60

Went for the first time last night with my boyfriend, his friend and his friends daughter and we all had a fantastic time! I was pretty sure I was in for an evening of my boyfriend excelling at another thing, while I politely obliged to play along. But with the help of our axe-pert, Chloe, I was able to stick more than a few and really got into it. It was great for our party of four but there was a larger party next to us, of a wide age range, who were also having a fantastic time. I could also see it as a fun two person activity (date night??). The cherry on top: its affordable. I definitely recommend checking out Splitting Timber!

Review №64

Such a lovely experience with our Axepert Stumpy on my work trip - he was a great instructor and made our experience really fun. Beware: this establishment fully embraces axe- and lumber- related puns, so everybody has to come up with a punny name and team name.Its hard at first but youll get the hang of it. Id definitely come back!

Review №65

We called to make a reservation and were told we didn’t need one. We drove and hour and were told they had no more room when we arrived. We walked up and only half the lanes were full. The guy said sorry, come back another time. No thanks.Per your response: Yes, we have the right facility, Tucson or Marana more specifically. Yes, we had questions on why if only four lanes were taken and according to your employee, Saturday nights are your busiest however you only had enough staff for 4 lanes out of 26. We called around 3 and were told if we came in anytime after 6 we would have no issues. Just because we didn’t walk out kicking and screaming doesn’t mean we weren’t upset. If I’m going to drive across town I’ll spend my money at well run business like TopGolf.

We celebrated a co-worker going back to school with a fantastic evening of Axe Throwing and innuendos with Splitting Timber and had a great time! Ragnorok was awesome, and a fantastic teacher! Ive already told several people about what a blast it was, and Id love to come back soon!

Splitting Timbers was a blast! My parents were in town from Missouri and we wanted to take them somewhere fun and unique. It doesn’t get more fun and unique than throwing axes! The staff was great and very friendly. Our lane attendant Chloe aka “Axe Factor” did an amazing job of teaching us how to throw and making sure we all had a good time. We will definitely be going back!

We had a great time with Chloe the other night, she was very knowledgeable and helpful in getting everyone to participate and stick their hawks. We all had bulls eyes by the end of the night. This was really fun and can be a great team building exercise or fun entertainment. And you are supporting a locally-owned business.

Our group of coworkers celebrating one of us getting “axed” had an absolutely axe-tastic time. I appreciated being able to plan a group activity where each person could make their own reservation and payment ahead of time so that I didn’t need to coordinate or worry about money collection. The staff were ready for our group and greeted us by the team name we chose. The entire experience was exciting and full of laughs! Our Axepert, Ragnorak, was a great host. He kept us entertained and showed us some really cool axe throwing tricks. We will definitely be back.
