    This place was amazing and spacious! Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here during a Yelp Event. The owner did a great job at explaining how to throw axes and was good hype man for everyone there. I loved the live band that was there too, played Blink 182 to Foo Fighters, felt like I was back in high school. Overall, this is a spot that's close to Seattle ,but not in the city, that you can bring a large group and have an excellent time!

    Lots of cute photos and wonderful sign

    The environment here felt like I was actually in the outdoors and the decorations were very interesting. The staff here also were very helpful and gave me lots of tips to improve my axe throwing. The prices are also reasonable, I would love to come back! They also had live music which added to the ambience a lot!

    Axe throwing is one of those activities that sounds chaotic until you're actually standing there, axe in hand, realizing it's equal parts therapy, competition, and pure, ridiculous fun. Walking into the venue, you get that mix of wood, metal, and faint adrenaline in the air. The staff gives you a quick rundown, safety rules, how not to accidentally throw an axe sideways and suddenly you're channeling your inner lumberjack with surprising confidence. The first throw usually clunks off the board in a humbling way, but when you finally land that first solid thunk, it's wildly satisfying. You feel it in your chest or you jump up and down like me. We had a reservation for an hour and a half and they also have live music on the weekends where you pay a $20 cover and listen to live music and throw axes all night long. Pretty good deal! We left right when the music was playing so it seemed pretty fun. they serve alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. No food but you can bring your own in. I'll be going back!

    This is an AMAZING experience. We had so much fun. The owner, Keith, is super cool and teaches you how to throw axes in several ways. He's patient, fun, and willing to work extra with kids. He then teaches you about scoring, cranks up the 90s alternative music and lets you throw on your own. Eventually everybody gets the hang of it. Sessions run about 1.5 hours and you'll definitely get your arms worked out during that time. The atmosphere is very relaxed and Sasquatch themed. They have canned alcoholic beverages, sodas and several types of Liquid Death waters. It's a really fun environment and a great present idea. We can't wait to go back.

    We made reservations online beforehand which was $28 per person. The reservation is for 1.5 hours and two lanes which is nice when you have a larger group of people. The reservation required a 25% deposit at booking and you pay the other 75% in person. When we arrived at 3pm we were the only ones there which was nice. The employee (or owner?) gave us a quick walkthrough and a tutorial for throwing the axe. After a couple minutes we were left to throw on our own and we had a good time! They have a couple different types of axes for you to use depending on which one you're more comfortable with. It's very laid back and I prefer it much more than bowling because you don't need to wait for the ball to come back; you just grab the axe off the wood and get right back to it. Bonus points that you can bring your own food!

    I really have no idea why I haven't heard of this place existing so close to my neighborhood until a few weeks ago. I am so happy I stumbled across a random social media mention (on another local biz post) that peaked my curiosity and tracked them down! Perfect timing too, because I was looking for a quick afternoon activity for the end of winter break celebration/lament. Lol. I booked a time slot online, signed the waiver form, and showed up the next day. We got there at opening and there was a bit of chaotic activity on the admin side as a few groups also arrived at the same time. Once sorted, we got a quick lesson on how to throw with 2 hands, then 1. Basic safety rules were reviewed, and then we were ready to start throwing! The teen was thrilled as she loves axe throwing but we always thought we'd have to drive to tacoma. We maximized our 1.5 hr time slot and had a blast. Bonus for serving Liquid death. I was pleasantly surprised and amused because I happened to be wearing a Liquid Death sweatshirt that day. This is a great stress reliever and we plan to come here for more "family mental health day" fun in the near future!

    Very fun evening at Axe Kickers. Derek is such a nice host who really enjoys what he is doing and he does it well. Great safety introduction and excellent brief tossing lesson. Pay attention and you might start hitting the center. I did a bunch of times! Park in the front. No real food options. Some none alcoholic beverages. They DO allow children but call ahead regarding how young the kids can be. I think this would be a good Birthday Party place for over the age of 10 so long as the kids are supervised. *Rougher part of town but I would go again because that's how I roll plus they hand you an axe.

    Very fun!

    We had a small team event and it was a hit! The guidance you get on how to handle the axe and how to throw. We are so happy we scheduled this and want to have a rematch when we are able. We will be back.

    Quite possibly the best decision I have made was setting up a team event here at Axe Kickers! Our host was an absolute gem and super accommodating! He made the night for sure. We all had a blast!! 10/10 recommend Axe kickers! You will not regret it :)

    This is my second visit to Axe Kickers and it was just as great as the first! This is such a fun date night, girls night or double date spot. Both times I have been (pre and during COVID) it has been very clean, well maintained and the staff are top notch! They really care about what they do and about guests having fun! It's about $28 per person for 90 minutes. Perfect length of time and very affordable for the 1:1 attention and fun time that you receive. I wish I lived closer to join their weekly league! Check them out the next time you are in the area or you want to feel like a Mountaineer? Camper? Axe thrower?! Or a Total Awesome Badass!

    They are also really big on safety and as long as one doesn't do anything incredibly stupid, one should be fine!

    Pacific Axes - Sammar kicked my butt! What an awesome axe thrower she is! She landed 48 axes in about 45 - 50 minutes of axe throwing. Go Sammar!

    My good friend Sammar and I went to throw axes at Pacific Axes this past week-end. We had a blast!…read more Valentine checked us in, and he was pleasant, welcoming, and informative. He explained the rules and techniques to us, since it was our first time throwing axes. For the first few minutes, neither of us landed an axe into the wood target. I didn't expect to land an axe that soon, but Sammar did. Valentine came over to us and gave us some helpful pointers regarding our technique. We each then landed 7 axes into the target within the next 10 minutes or so, so those pointers really helped us! We threw the small axes and the larger axes. We decided against throwing the ninja stars. We were talking about how the larger axe felt more awkward at first to hold and to throw, but it ended up being both of our favorite axe to use. It landed in the target with a satisfying thwack. The smaller axe was fun too though. I used the smaller axe periodically and it was a nice break from throwing the larger axe. Neither axe is very heavy, but with many throws it was nice to throw something smaller every once in a while. Sammar found her stride, and she started landing axes left and right! We were there for an hour, and the hour flew by. As it turns out, throwing axes for an hour (or really more like 45 - 50 minutes, with breaks to take photos, chat, high five, retrieve our axes, etc) is a fairly good upper body workout. We both want to return. We shot archery several times together last year, and Sammar was joking that if there is ever a zombie apocalypse then we will be fully prepared with our axes and our bows and arrows. Ha. I wrote our names on the White Board, to keep track of the axes that we landed. I wrote our names in a pretty large font, thinking I'd have plenty of space to mark down all of the axe throws that each of us landed. I ran out of space on Sammar's side, though, and I had to squeeze her landed axe throw tallies in towards the end of our time there! How was I to know in advance that Sammar would land FORTY EIGHT axes on her first ever try at axe throwing?! If there ever is a zombie apocalypse, I have the right friends! We paused a few times to take photos, and we also paused a few times for laughs, jokes, high fives, and brief chats, so we were actually throwing axes for closer to 45 - 50 minutes in total. This means that Sammar averaged around one landed axe throw per minute! Impressive! Especially since we each needed to walk down the short lane to retrieve each thrown axe after throwing it. Sammar also hit THREE bulls eyes with the large axe! Awesome! We were both so excited that we were jumping up and down and squealing. Valentine came over to see what was going on, and he was happy for Sammar, too. I came within an inch or two of the bullseye 4 or 5 times with the large axe, but I never quite hit a bullseye myself, so I have something to shoot for next time we go! Sammar bought a Pacific Axes T-Shirt, and I would have bought a T-Shirt, too, but they didn't have my current size in stock. Valentine told me that he would ask the owner if they can get my size. I'm a bit bigger in size now than I have been for most of my life, and I noticed that Valentine was very kind about that. I did not feel shamed for my size in any of his words or his tone. He even said that there are some employees of Pacific Axes who are bigger and they don't have Pacific Axes t-shirts that fit them either. I have an idea, though... if they cannot get my size in, I might buy a smaller size and then cut it in certain areas and wear it over a regular black t-shirt! I am pretty good with altering clothing. Because I was a size Small/size 4 for all of my teenage years and for most of my adult life, and I only started struggling with my weight in my mid-30s after my abdomen was radiated for cancer treatment and I went through early menopause due to the radiation treatment (obviously completely worth it to struggle with my weight now as the result of my intestines, several of my internal organs, my ovaries, etc being radiated and losing full or partial functionality, in order to have saved my life!), this isn't a big deal for me not to be able to find a size of clothing that fits me. I can either alter a piece of clothing, or wear something else. So, it didn't really bother me that they didn't have my current size. However, I do know a few women who have been a larger size for most or all of their teenage years and adult lives, and this type of experience could have the potential to evoke a strong emotional reaction for them. (Such as, feeling very angry and/or upset, bursting into tears, things like that. Understandable reactions, since some segments of our society can sometimes be quite harsh and judgmental with women regarding their weight.) So, it might be nice if the owner of Pacific Axes could consider being more size-inclusive with the t-shirts. Anyway, we had a great time and we will return!

    ​Throwing sharp objects with wild abandon is already a solid afternoon, but hitting actual targets…read moremakes you a certified neighborhood legend. Pacific Axes is an absolute blast with a super friendly crew, but come ready to process information at warp speed. Our instructor delivered the safety rules at full hyper-drive--if this guy taught a college course, he'd burn through an entire semester's syllabus in three days flat. We politely asked him to slow down twice, but he stayed locked in rapid-fire mode with zero eye contact. We couldn't keep up with the auctioneer-level pitch, but his high-speed energy definitely got the adrenaline pumping! ​Axes are the heavy-hitting main event here and deserve top billing, even if my personal technique was mostly wall-dents and sad bounce-backs. But if you want to feel like a low-key action hero, skip the woodchopper vibes and go straight for the ninja arsenal. They let you throw knives and throwing stars too--and while I couldn't stick an axe to save my life, landing back-to-back bullseyes with the ninja gear made me feel like Chuck Norris's stealth shadow. ​Come for the axes, stay for the secret ninja weapon stock, and prepare for the fastest safety brief of your life!
