What a unique and fun experience. My partner booked some time for a date night, and it was honestly some of the most fun I had in an hour. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and will walk you through a quick form and technique intro, and within the hour you will get access to different throwing axes as time progresses. What helped me hit the center target quite a few times was imaging the faces of DJT and his cronies. Bullseye! read more

Our friends decided to let loose at Axe Ventures LA! Plenty of parking and the place is super clean and organized. Jenna did an amazing job explaining to us the rules and how to throw axes! She helped us throughout with our technique and where to stand. It was a lot of fun especially when the other crazy axes came out and even saw blades! The variety of things you can chuck are amazing. The snack variety was A+ and the bathroom was also very clean. Overall, Jenna made our experience top notch and fun. We enjoyed ourselves a lot more than anticipated, highly recommend! read more

Have to miss a half marathon that I've been looking forward to for a long time Multiple of my friends also got wood chips stuck in there shoes (they weren't punctured though).

AxeVentures in Los Angeles offers a thrilling axe-throwing experience for those looking to try something new. Location: AxeVentures is situated in an Office Depot plaza with plenty of parking right out front. This makes it convenient to find and access. Setup: Inside, they have merchandise and drinks available for purchase. The venue has multiple lanes for axe throwing, each equipped with wooden boards and a variety of axes to choose from (light-weight, heavy, fully metal, double-sided, etc.). Reservation & Check-In: I visited on a Saturday afternoon with a 1-hour reservation. They also seem to accept walk-ins. It's best to be on time for your reservation as they don't compensate for late arrivals or give you extra time. There were at most three parties present during my visit, which kept the atmosphere lively but not overcrowded. Instruction & Experience: Upon arrival, you are required to sign a waiver. Following this, an instructor explains the rules and demonstrates how to throw the axes safely and properly. Jax and Jenna, the instructors, were particularly helpful, offering tips and corrections throughout the session. However, there were some inconsistencies in the instructions provided. It's one thing for the instructors to be good at axe throwing, but it's not always easy to articulate it through words. Initially, I was given incorrect information about wrist positioning (to not break my wrist), which affected my throws. Later, I received tips to follow through with a circular motion of the hand and to break my wrist (never flattening). While I understand that everyone may have their own technique, it would have been better if the instructors prefaced that there might be different methods that work for different people. Key Tips for Axe Throwing: Release Technique: The way you let go of the axe significantly impacts its direction and rotation. It's all about how you let go of it. Wrist Positioning: Ensuring your wrist is positioned correctly affects whether the axe rotates in a flat plane. If it's not flat, it will hit the wooden board in angled positions. Therefore, it won't stick to the wooden board. Overall Impressions: AxeVentures is a fun and unique activity, offering a great way to try something new. While the instructors were helpful, a more consistent and clear communication strategy would enhance the experience. Despite some initial difficulties, it's an enjoyable activity that I would recommend to others. read more

This is a nice place for either a rage room or an escape room…read more A few weeks ago, I did a rage room experience here, which was my first time doing a rage room. Marc, the owner, was very nice and kind. He even allowed me to do a special request where I wore an outfit (which is a Morpshuit with t-shirt and shorts) underneath the gear used for the rage room. Very kind of him to accommodate this. I have never done a rage room before, so it was a unique experience. Shattering glass, and breaking things felt very liberating and it helped me release tension/anger. Additionally, at the very end, there was even another surprise where Marc even taught me how to throw ninja stars on the wooden board. It was super cool. At first, I couldn't get any ninja stars to stick, but on one of my final attempts, I actually did get the ninja star to stick, which was awesome!! I was pretty elated that I was able to do that! Anyways, shout out to Marc the owner for being very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cool, friendly place to do a rage room or an escape room. I should check out their escape rooms some time soon.

Overall a positive experience with a couple of cons:…read more - When we arrived, there wasn't any clear instructions of where/what we should do as there is no front desk. Also took a while before someone came out to help (I think they were in the back assisting maybe another customer?) but some signage would help. - Waivers could be sent prior to arrival to save on time since it was a google form - staff could be more welcoming and better at explaining. I understand it may be sketchy to go to a customer's car to evaluate items brought from home since it could be a risk to the staff, but I think it could either be instructed earlier before arrival OR simply just state that you cannot leave the business. The delivery of the comment made by the staff was not very smooth (almost felt like implying we were bringing something bad or wrong). - A timer inside the room might be helpful as it's hard to keep track of time once you're destroying things. - Phone "mount" could be better secured with a clasp or something because one bump and our phone fell on the ground where there's shards and scraps everywhere. This could have easily scratched the phone. - Room felt cramped, but understand that may be limited by the size of the store space. - Half of the group was arriving late, in which I shared upfront and thought that the staff would assist in getting them as ready as possible before our first group came out to swap, but when I came out, I saw that they had not even begun to change. I understand the face shield and gloves are limited quantities, but they could have started fitting in the other items like jumpsuit and face coverings. - Also as we were swapping, I ended up giving the second group the instructions when it really should have been the staff to give them the run through. It felt very disorganized during the swapping. For the price, I think it would be nice if each group received at least one larger item and not just cups, plates, and glass. All-in-all, it was fun to let out some rage by wrecking things and not having to clean it up. My friends and I did enjoy this different experience. Also fun to watch them from the room cam inside the Axe Room as they rage.

The Adventure Lagoon felt incredibly misleading…read more I was planning to take my kids to the beautiful Splash Park at Castaic Lake, but my son told me Adventure Lagoon was a better deal because it advertised $35 for the day. When I arrived, the employee asked, "Do they want the water park too?" I replied, "That's why we're here." She then told me it was an additional $10 per person. What wasn't made clear is that the $10 only covers one hour. After getting inside, I learned you have to keep paying for every additional hour. For comparison: Castaic Splash Park 2 kids = $70 total Parent = free Adventure Lagoon (calculation based on 3 hours - though I chose this place to come for 4 hours since it was advertised as same price for all day) 2 kids admission = $70 Water park fees = $60 Parent admission = $35 Total = $165 So instead of spending the day at a beautiful lake surrounded by nature, we paid more than double to be at a small water park surrounded by warehouses. The website prominently advertises the day rate and has a big "BOOK NOW" button, but the hourly water park fees are not made clear upfront; you have to literally scroll below the pricing and "Book Now" to see them. See here - https://www.theadventurelagoon.com/pricing I don't mind paying. I do mind feeling misled. Unfortunately, they lost us as customers for life.

The activities are fantastic: well planned, age appropriate, engaging, and fun. The natural setting is also beautiful and feels especially important these days. My boys came home with confidence, stories, friendships, and summer memories they will cherish forever. And the camp spirit is real. We still sing the silly songs at home, especially the announcements song whenever we have a family announcement, and the birthday song too. I cannot recommend Cali Camp enough. It has been such a special part of our family's life.

It starts from the top down. Kahuna and Blaze set a tone that creates a happy, fun and relaxing…read moreatmosphere where the kids and employees get to enjoy the sweet months of summer creating memories for a lifetime. It's not fancy but they're not roughing it either. It's just the right mix of Topanga nature-inspired tranquility sprinkled with breezy silliness. This is a happy place and you feel it as soon as you arrive. Feels good to leave my son here knowing he's going to have a great day and come home dirty and tired with stories he's eager to share. 5th year and now a Jr Leader - what a lovely place to learn, grow and laugh through childhood summers.

I recently stayed here for a conference, and everything screamed vintage but athletic club, too…read more The hotel room is VERY spacious, though it erred on the side of dark. As usual, water in the room costs money, and there are a few other products with hidden price tags in the room, too. Surprisingly, toothbrush and toothpaste was not provided. The water for showering also doesn't get too hot. In terms of the athletic space, the machines were very easy to access. There was never a wait even on weekend afternoons. The lap pool was my favorite part - clean and calm. There was some miscommunication between the lobby and the store, as one said there is no reservation system but there in fact was. But even when told all the lanes were fully reserved, more than half weren't in use. Parking is a bit of a hassle; for non-members it's definitely not worth it. At the time of visit, the parking machine wasn't working. There are also sperate elevators for parking vs the athletic club / hotel area which was a little confusing. The stair numbers also didn't coordinate the best with actual level.

What a perfect afternoon out on the Marina. This experience was literally turnkey. Our boat arrived…read moreon the dot at our scheduled departure time. We were given a quick overview of the boat mechanics and safety equipment and boating etiquette. The boat was fully stocked with soft drinks and a phenomenal charcuterie that we were able to arrange as an "add on" and decorated for our friends birthday. This was a seamless and top notch experience. Adriana and her team clearly know what they are doing and are completely dialed in to make your day putting around the Marina as effortless as possible. You will not be sorry and should not hesitate to book your trip with The Electric Voyage.

We added the charcuterie and s'mores package when booking online, and it was totally worth it. The kids loved it! Staff were kind, patient, and made us feel comfortable before heading out. Such a great family-friendly experience and a really special memory.
