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.

Great fun - perfect for corporate event! We has our staff Xmas party at Maniax and would highly recommend. Managed super well from booking, through to instructions, managing the tournament, all the way to the bar staff after the games! Special shoutout to Suzie who provided brilliant explanation and score keeping and generally just being awesome.

Had a great time throwing some axes using the Monday 2 for 1 deal. Aaron was delightful, a great instructor and super funny as well. He wasn’t too overbearing or hovering too much, but always there when we needed him or had a question. 10/10 would recommend!

My fiancé and I had the best time here - Aaron the coach/instructor/genius was so helpful. Genuinely, he could see I was struggling and spent 45 minutes with me one-on-one. He gave every correction he could and was obviously so knowledgeable in axe throwing. I went from not making it into the board at all at the start, to hitting two bullseyes in a row by the end. Massive success story thanks to Aaron! Will be back.

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.
