MANIAX Axe Throwing
Walked in a bloke… walked out a warrior. MANIAX is pure testosterone therapy—just you, a sharp axe, and a big chunk of timber begging for a beating. The instructors? Absolute weapons. They teach you how to throw like a Norse god and cheer you on like you're in the finals of some underground lumberjack league. Great vibes, ice-cold drinks, and the kind of primal satisfaction you can’t get from yoga. 10/10 would axe again.

It’s so much fun, we did the couples date. Unlimited axe throwing for about an hour and then a few drinks at the end.
The atmosphere is great too.

Fun Fun Fun... for something different for pre-teen and teenagers and adults! (Age 11+) Friendly, experienced staff. Clean venue. Quick and easy sign up and safety demo. No pressure and gave 1 on 1 tips to improve your throw accuracy. Great experience. Will definitely be going back.

Had a great time with Maniax Abbotsford. It was nice and quiet so we technically had the whole place to ourselves ;) Miles was sociable and great at communicating tips and rules as we went along. the facilities were clean including the toilet and parking on the street was available just outside. If you ever wanted to try axe throwing this is the location to try especially during the weekday (if you can manage).

Tried axe throwing for the first time, and after reading the reviews, I thought, why not—especially as a birthday treat (18 Jan 2025) The customer service was exceptional, and the safety talk and demonstration provided by the staff member were incredibly helpful. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed what they did.
I loved the laid-back vibe, where you could go at your own pace, have fun, and enjoy some great tunes in the background. The games they recommended were a blast! The venue had a massive layout, was very welcoming, and I would definitely recommend this experience for an event to my family and friends.
