    It's a new way of doing something with the family. We were thinking of doing bowling but we wanted something different. This place is better. The staff are welcoming and gave safety instructions. Its fun for th e family

    B day Axe Throwing

    Best date day ever. Cool vibe! Friendly staff. Cool with groups or just your date. Good space and lots of choices to throw, different size acts and knifes. I'm sure there are names for them all. I'm just a rookie. The best part is the old school vibe. Pen to paper score keeping.

    It was a very fun and cute date! The stuff were also very nice! Highly recommend for a simple and competitive date

    Was in town looking for a family activity to do and stumbled on AxeVentures! Dope spot, it was glow in the dark night which was a vibe. Axe throwing is tough!

    Was looking for things to do on wifeys birthday which was a Wednesday and came across this place. You can register online or pay in person. They have seven lanes to throw axes. Peter was the instructor and showed us how to throw the axes. They have four axes per lane. After playing several games and tying the wife we took a couple pictures in front of their picture walls. (2) They have board games to play when not using or waiting for the lanes. Overall had a great time and will definitely be back!

    My first time here. Hubby brought me here for some birthday fun. Peter was friendly and got us checked in pretty quickly. he showed us what to do and went over the safety rules. We had a fun time. Great music playing so it was nice vibe. Since we came as soon as they opened on a Wednesday afternoon so we had the place to ourselves. They have board and other games here to play as well. We will definitely comeback and bring our sons to play.

    Friends invited me to AxeVentures for my 20th birthday and we played for 75 minutes. SO fun and exhilarating -- those 75 minutes passed by in a flash. They have a decent assortment of different axes with various weights and shapes to accommodate all players, and the coaches walk you through the entire process + safety before you begin play. They also provide clipboards with different games and rules for groups that want to play for points or compete! Definitely one of the more unique activity spots in Berkeley -- will definitely be coming back to de-stress from finals.

    Stumbled upon this activity through Groupon. Location is nice as it's near some good restaurants so you can grab some grub before heading over. It was easy for me to find parking on the street as well. The staff is nice and efficient. They do a quick tutorial which is very much needed since I've never thrown an axe. There's some binders that have game ideas so that you and your group can have some sort of competition. There's snacks (like oreos, candy, etc) for sale, but it seems you can bring in your own food too (probably not alcohol though.. that would be a dangerous mix). I got bored after a while, so we didn't stay our full allotted time, but I'm glad I tried it.

    This little spot is a whole in the wall hidden gem. My boyfriend randomly booked a 1 hour and 15 minute session for us and his 4 friends yesterday since it was raining and it's a cool indoor activity. It was a good deal, $200 for all 6 of us. You get there, sign a waiver, then the coaches quickly provide an overview of how to throw the axes / safety briefing, from there you get to get to it. They have instructions for games you can try, but we just did 3 on 3 and counted our points. Time flies so I definitely recommend booking longer than an hour. There are 4 different axes that come standard but they have additional options you can pay extra for. You can also buy balloons/other targets which is cool. I was a bit apprehensive at first because it is literally axes, but I got the hang of it bit by bit and enjoyed myself! Everyone that worked there was cool and helpful. I'd definitely go back

    I came for the neon axe throwing day and it's very fun. I came during spring break so it was very empty so I was able to use a couple of lanes at a time. I came with my +1 and it was fun and all but this would be more fun with a bigger party. With just 2 of you you end up getting tired quickly

    This was such a fun and welcoming first-time experience! The booking was for 75 mins, which is plenty of time to have fun and get an arm workout out of it. The staff showed us how to safely throw the axe and tips on how to aim better. It was a quick tutorial but very helpful to get started; they're also available if you need help. There are 4 axe sizes you can play around with. The place was nicely decorated and well-kept. It does get hot and stuffy after a while if there are lots of ppl. Overall, I would def recommend this place for a fun activity. They also have a cool glow-in-the dark experience on weeknights!

    Came here with just my brother and I. We reserved online in advance (just 2 hours before) for a Saturday night. It was super fun. We came in, signed a quick waiver, and were giving a run down on safety procedures and proper technique. We got escorted to back. There's were 4 or 5 axe options. You could also do add one of other throwing objects but we stick to the basics. They also had a book nearby with a few options of games you could play and ways of scoring. Overall, super fun and the staff were attentive. It was $35 for 75 minutes which was more than enough time for the 2 of us. There was a table and stools behind the lane to sit if you wanted. I could see it getting crowded if folks had bigger parties, though. Would definitely come back.

    It's not too hard to get the hang of, and it is beyond satisfying to watch the axe smash into the target.

We were very disappointed with the dinner for the price we paid. We were expecting the food to be exceptional. The way it was delivered was really pretty but the taste was either bland or so salty it was un edible. I think someone accidentally dumped the salt container in the mashed potatoes. They made us sick. But everything else was amazing. I just think for the price the food should be great too. The texture of the food was mushy like baby food. The veggies were overcooked and bland. The steak was good, but needed more seasoning in the chicken was good but on the dry side. The next day they bring you breakfast the eggs actually tasted good. Seems like they were steamed not cooked in a pan, which is fine. The little mini croissants were a rock hard way overcooked but breakfast was better than dinner. Zip lining was amazing. I just feel like they should give us a refund on the food.

I recommend getting there early enough to get a prime spot. Especially if you have a larger group and want to sit together. The instructor goes around and helps people when needed. We had an assistant floating around refilling peoples paints & paper towels. I took a painting course in college and I have a few of my own paintings in my home. I attended this event with someone that had not painted since elementary school. The events are able to please and entertain a broad range of abilities. Everyone was having fun. In-between instruction/demonstration, they kick up the music. Our instructor chose a great playlist. It really put me into a creative groove and had me singing along. You are free to order drinks wherever the event is being held at, just drink responsibly. It was so fun to walk around at the end of the evening and see everyone's execution and interpretation of the piece. Most of the events sell out way in advance, so keep your eyes open!

I had so much fun, and it's a great idea for a date-night!

I highly enjoyed my experience here as well as many of my friends who normally climb at Touchstone gyms. I've had the opportunity to try out their SF location early when they first soft launched during the pandemic and it was great albeit smaller than other gyms I've been to in the Bay. I will note that this isn't quite as corporate as Touchstone or Movement so they may not have the same level of funding which I see as reasons their sets are a bit more adventurous comparatively and membership can seem pricey Overall, the aspect I like the most about the gym was the sets for the comp. It really had a huge variety of non-traditional climbs with toe catch starts, partner climbs, lache, and run up dynos. All in all, I very much enjoyed the variety that is less typical comparative to the sets you'd see at Movement or Touchstone gyms. The fact that they have these unique sets despite the small space is what makes me enjoy it more I would recommend people who want to expand their skills check out this place. I didn't feel like they had any sets that were more inherently dangerous which I sometimes feel with some run up dynos at other gyms. Furthermore, not all the climbs were jugs which really helped to find fun ways to improve. It's also close to Indian Rock if you wanted something more natural and being so close to Berkeley campus it's a quick walk to good eats I find the diversity of climbs here the best of all the climbing gyms seem so far, including gyms in NYC/Texas. The interior space also seems to welcome students or people who treat it as a third space with a large table, small but adequately sized parking lot, and essential gym equipment. The one con I may say is the price may not be as cost-effective as some other corporate gyms in the Bay but having smaller gyms that have an inviting space and good diversity of climbs will be reasons I'd continue to come back

I was able to take advantage of a special 2-week pass that was the same price as a day pass, which was a great find. The staff is helpful. The toilets and lockers are small, but clean. The climbing space itself is also small, but adequate for two visits. There is a good range of difficulties represented. My two beefs with this gym: 1) the mats are thin and HARD. I felt nervous trying anything slightly outside my comfort zone as I was afraid of falling. That really detracts from the experience. 2) there is no rhyme or reason to the colors of the problems. You have to get close to the all and squint to see what V rating it is. Yellow here might be V2 and the Yellow over there is V0. Why?! I much prefer my regular gym where Yellow is always the same level. That way you can easily scan the whole room to see which routes will suite.
