First time axe throwing and I came with a friend. Very easy to make booking online. There's plenty of parking in the front and back area. Easy check in. There's a waiver you have to sign and they check you in. After a quick guide on how to throw, we went straight at it. Once we got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. Small medium large axes to throw. There's add ons you can buy like throwing knifes. There's a binder with different games you can do instead of just trying for bullseyes. We both ending up getting better towards the end. Would definitely come hang here again!

Really unique activity to try! Easier said and in demos than in real life - probably spent half the time still missing the board. Still fun and get some friendly competition. There are three axes sizes: small (pretty light), medium (few pounds) and large (more pounds). I thought the lightest axe was good for single hand throwing and control. The medium one was okay for two handed throwing, and the largest axe was honestly too heavy for me (and a bit uncomfortably heavy for my bf). Staff was friendly and after the demo let us be flexible to throw the axes and play our own games. Could have used a bit more instruction or help but throwing techniques are so variable. Good for date night or hanging out with a small group of friends.

The instructor was awesome and had good teaching techniques with trick shots and was very knowledgeable

Our group of 12 had an axe-llent time at this venue! It's a hidden gem in downtown San Jose. Thomas was super helpful in explaining the steps of throwing axes and knives. It's about 9 rows of axe throwing about 1 hour and 15 minutes of playtime. They have a clean single bathroom! They have parking in the front and a venue in the back You'll have to sign a waiver then listen to a 2-5 minute explanation from their small to big axes. We had the extra big class and all of it was so fun to throw them. Would come here again!

What a fun work off-site we had at AxeVentures Axe Throwing! It was a good amount of time for everyone to learn, try, practice, and improve. The competitiveness in us came out as we tried to improve on our own throwing while also cheering for each other. A large group came in after we started. They took up most of the spaces. We stayed on the far end in our two lanes. There were a couple of table games on the tall table with stools for people waiting for their turn. It was lots of fun, thanks AxeVentures Axe Throwing!

What a seamless process to book a team outing! We had a team of 25 looking to vent out our stress with axes (don't worry not at each other). All I did was reach out via email with the information they were requesting, and they were ready with the invoice! We booked the first time slot which gave us flexibility. Now let me help you with some details from all the calling I did. - I was able to make a reservation a week in advance and just needed to pay a day or two before. - You can't go down in number, but you can add folks as needed at the venue! They are pretty flexible with this, as long as there is no other group. We reserved for 20, and we got to use all the lanes! - They were so nice to arrive a little earlier to open so that we can have the food delivered on time and give us time to set up! - You can cater food here! It was so nice because we got our favorite Slice of Homage pizza which was a huge hit! And they had additional tables that could be set up! - They sell water bottles, but they also allow you to bring your own. - They are willing to help give instructions again as folks were trickling in, which was important for safety but also was so nice of them with their patience. - They even had a binder of competitions and games to play with the axes, as well as seating to hang out and play other games on the table! - Many opportunities to take pics, videos, and even enjoy lunch! I can't think of a better place who can be this accommodating with a huge group like us. I would recommend this to everyone who is planning a corporate event, they made sure to take care of us! We had a blast getting over the fear of throwing axes and just bonding over a great time at a great place!

Been here twice and had a blast both times! It's $42/per person for 1 hour 15 minutes which is plenty of time and a single lane can hold up to 5-6 people. Before getting started you sign waivers and read safety instructions which are pretty self-explanatory. A team member then gives us instructions and tips and tricks on how to throw the axe correctly which was very helpful. You honestly work up a sweat here while having fun. It takes a few tries to get a groove on/hang of things, but once you got it it's super fun! I do wish they had the AC on blast tho lol. Other than that it's a fun date spot, or to bond and hang with family and friends.

Honestly, I thought the Axe throwing was fun. It was an activity that my girlfriend wanted to do. The people there are super friendly and know their stuff. I got a quick lesson on how to throw an axe properly and a trick shot with one.

We had an amazing experience with this mobile axe throwing company! From start to finish,…read moreeverything was smooth, professional, and so much fun. They arrived on time, set everything up quickly, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable before we started throwing. If you're looking for something unique, exciting, and well-run for a party or gathering, I highly recommend this company. We'll absolutely be booking again!

If you've never done axe throwing, you need to try it. It's so fun and a great way to blow off…read moresteam lol!!! There isn't an axe throwing location in SF so when I found out Split The Wood is a mobile axe throwing company that can set up anytime at any venue, I immediately hired them for our happy hour during our team offsite and it was a hit! The Split The Wood team was very prompt and clear with communication and Derek answered all of my questions prior to booking them. Derek even had suggestions on where we can set this up. On the day of our event, they arrived early to set up the cage at the venue. They gave safety instructions and tips on how to throw an axe. Everything was super safe and enclosed in a cage so there were no accidents. Derek and his team are professional, on time, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I would definitely hire them again for another event! Again, they can set up at any venue. If there isn't space inside your venue, they offer a wheels package too! Check them out for your next party, wedding, birthday, happy hour, holiday party, or just for fun!!!

Been here twice, once for a birthday and once as a family. We've only done the arcade and go karts…read moreand they're both super fun! One gripe I have is that I wish the workers were a bit more attentive. We went on Monday and there wasn't anyone at the front desk for maybe 10minutes. They didn't have us watch the safety/instructional video which normally plays on a loop at the front of the pit gate. We had two double karts because our kids are young and we were put in a race with multiple other adults. The employees in the pit were good, one was a young lady who seemed new and a young man who obviously had much more experience. I'm on the shorter side and he recognized I needed the pedals adjusted and a booster seat. He also rechecked all our belts because the girl didn't put them on tight enough. So during our race we had to go slowly for the first lap, but then it was on! Unfortunately, I had to go slow because my daughter is small and apprehensive about the whole experience. I'm sure we were a hindrance for the faster racers, but most were very respectful and drove around us. One person in particular (an older black man who uses the name "007 Speed") hit me into the barrier 3 times and hit my husband and son's kart at least twice. He hit us with such force both of my kids have been complaining of neck pain. I told the experienced male employee but no consequences for Mr. 007 Speed even though each time he hit us they overhead announced, "No hitting other drivers or barriers. Next time you will be out of the race." When the race was done Mr. 007 Speed never acknowledged what he did or apologized. As we were leaving we saw him complaining at the front desk. So overall, I really like this place. It's geared for children and families, but definitely for anyone who wants to have fun. It would be ideal if they grouped drivers separately like they do for junior racers. Group adult racers with ones who have children/want a chill experience and a group for retirees trying to relive their glory days

Surprisingly really good food. Kind of pricey, but was worth it for a proper meal to be made…read more Wasn't expecting the Turkey Club Sandwich to taste that great. They smoke their turkey in house apparently, and you definitely got that smokey flavor from it. I ordered a Caesar Salad too as the side and it was delicious. A properly made Caesar Salad that you can still taste the anchovies in the dressing. Minus a star because our waiter kept forgetting things, whether it was one or two sets of utensils, one or two waters, one or two straws, he kept having to come back and forth from the kitchen which is kind of a far walk in the establishment (on opposite ends from our table, really). Also I would've appreciated if they had mentioned to us to book the games in advanced before it became all sold out. We had a big party and the least they could've done is to foresee that we would potentially like to play some bocce ball or whatnot after and ask us about it.

We've been to Campo De Bocce a ton of times and it had pretty good food.....this is our first…read moreexperience with Da Boccery for both the simulators and bocce (no axe throwing this time!). This review is about the food. OMG. What a pleasant surprise! You expect "okay" food - this was WAY better than OK. This was fantastic. I had the ahi fish tacos - a must order. Light and airy shell with a tasty ahi mix insert. Could very well be the best fish taco I've had - it's not your traditional "here's some tuna and cabbage in a corn tortilla" taco and that's a great thing. It's unique and amazing. Our friends split a pizza and salad and raved about how perfect the pizza was. They wanted a crispy crust and got what they wanted. My wife ordered the stuffed mushroom appetizer in her crafty way to embellish her beef hamburger with bacon. She asked medium rare. She got medium rare. Very enjoyable. Our service was beyond great. It wasn't super busy and often the staff gets distracted when it's not busy - in this case our service was perfect. Da Boccery ambiance is obviously linked to all the entertainment that's there but the tables are nicely separated from the courts and simulators, and even during bocce or the simulator, there are comfortable couches and tables if you want to eat there - we did drinks there, then ate in the more "restaurant" area of the place. We will absolutely be going there just for the food and that says a lot.
