We visited bad axe first time on one of my friend's birthday and we had a blast! Facility is well maintained and has a really cool vibe! Coach Jenny was great and explained the rules, showed us few demos and she had a couple of games planned for our group. Maybe this weekend they were low on staff but I hope next time they assign one coach per group to make it more fun/interesting/challenging. We had an amazing time and I highly recommend this place for hanging out with your family and friends!! read more

June 4, 2022: An event for Tony's Wedding. This is a very low tech experience. The location was VERY understaffed. Only two ppl to serve several stalls that were underway. The experience was novel for maybe 20 minutes. After which it became repetitive. I found that even the facility was ultra low tech (Axes, wood & a wall), it needed more attention. (Don't have pics). The axes were all dull & in need of sharpening. Last note...expensive, $50.00/hour! I wouldn't repeat. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY. We went here as a group of 13 people where it is advertised on their website that if 13 people are brought and it's within 7 days of your birthday 1 person throws for free, This is a total and complete LIE. Not only that but my husband bought a round of 5 drinks which they said was 56$ he asked for a receipt and the emailed receipt says 44$ meaning they are pocketing that 12$ either for themselves or adding on a tip that wasn't given or deserved. Absolutely disgusting and the place smelt like a barn full of cow poo. read more

Had an awesome time! Our coach was supportive and ensured that everyone improved their throw throughout the evening. I highly recommend for work functions. We played a team game and a tournament. I like that you can bring your own food. There's a ton of seating in the facility. read more

Came here a couple of weeks ago for a birthday party. What do i know about axe throwing before this?? The guide/coach was friendly, she took her time to make sure we knew what we were doing. Don't worry, it was safe! I have all my fingers and toes. It was AXE-cellent. Fun atmosphere and a great work out! read more

Came here as a walk in as this was the only location that accepted us. We had to wait 40 minutes to get assigned to a Axe board but it was definitely worth the wait. We got assigned to a leader who taught us how to throw an axe and how to play their games. You have to sign a waiver upon arrival (obvious reasons) before you get to throw; heads up. We threw axes for an hour which is totally more than enough time for your stay here. A totally laid back environment and I would recommend to anyone. A tip before going would be to call their head office prior to going because sometimes the walk-ins might be occupied. read more

Such a great place for try something new while getting a nice workout ! Hearing about this place I had no idea what to expect but from the online reviews and word of mouth ive heard great things about this place. I wanted to take my little brother somewhere so i knew today was the day to check it out. Walking in we had no idea how to throw an axe but the staff there was SUPER friendly and taught us everything we needed to know. It was quick and easy to learn. She even taught us some new tricks too throw an axe as well ! We got the hour session which for us was perfect because you start to feeling tired by the end. The staff was even nice enough to give us a few minutes to have a few more throws! haha! Overall it was a nice, smooth running activity with no issues and had a great time there! Would recommend highly for anyone who wants to try something new ! read more

We came here for a friend's birthday bash, and it was awesome! Andre was great at keeping us engaged and he gave us great throwing tips! A spacious area allowing multiple groups, all skill levels welcome, and the best part... You can bring booze!! (Just don't get too crazy). The only critique I have is that it was kinda hard to find the place if you're not from the area. But once you find it, it's hard to forget. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This place is great for groups of friends! From the moment we walked in the staff were able to get us all organized and ready for throwing axes in about 15 minutes (it was a busy Friday night). Before we started this big guy gave us clear instructions on how to properly throw both axes and knives. Guy was polite and friendly and came by every so often to check up on us. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming and they sold alcohol at the front. Overall had a great experience and highly recommend going with a group of friends. read more

MAKING RESERVATIONS: Axe throwing, being one of the past year's top leisure trends, was just something I had to try. So as my birthday celebration I gathered up a bunch of friends and made a reservation for 25 at Bad Axe this past Sunday. (The reservation process is quite smooth - you can either call in or make a booking request on their website). Once you receive a confirmation that your booking time is available, you must make a deposit of $100 to secure your time slot ($200 if your booking is less than 2 weeks away). BEFORE THE EVENT: Bad Axe is a barebones facility. Even when given an address, it is still difficult to find as they don't even have a sign up... I mean, well... They have a piece of 8.5"x11" lined paper that says Bad Axe Throwing on the front door, but does that really count? There's even more minimalism once you walk inside - newly painted white walls from floor to ceiling. The only signage on the walls was for their social media accounts - it is 2015, after all. I later found out that they had only opened about a month prior and were still in the process of decorating the place. Eventually, they plan to put up some murals on the walls, get a lighted sign up on the building, etc. Fair, I guess - I can understand the eagerness to just get up and running to smooth things out first, but I gotta admit I somewhat felt like a guinea pig here. I arrived half an hour early to set up some of the food that I had catered for the event. They have a large table where you can put your food. It easily fit my 7 trays of food, a cake, and cutlery. They also have two mini fridges where you can cool your drinks. THE EVENT: To throw at Bad Axe, there is a fixed fee of $50 (tax included) per person. In addition, you must fill out a waiver form. If you don't want to throw axes, it's totally free to spectate. And have as many spectators as you want, I had about 17 spectators for a group of 8 people actually throwing. Andre, the lone employee there for us was quite charismatic and a good host. He was personable and kept us all entertained. Though quite a few people in my group came late, he was willing to wait until they arrived to begin the event. Once everyone got settled in, he introduced everyone to the sport of axe throwing and conducted a thorough demonstration of proper form for throwing, both with one and two hands. Eager to give it a shot, the 8 of us began taking turns practicing on 2 of the axe throwing lanes. One of my criticisms would be that we didn't get to use all 4 of the throwing lanes. Andre informed us that it was company policy (for safety among other reasons) that an employee was only allowed to supervise 2 lanes at once. Given that I had made a reservation for 25 people (the other 17 decided to spectate last minute), would we have been expected to have 25 people take turns on 2 lanes for the entire duration? It wouldn't hurt to have another employee on the premises to utilize the entire 4 lanes, especially considering the really high $50 fee and the minimal physical capital. But anyway, after about a 45 minute long warmup, we began to play a team game. Andre split us up into 2 teams of four. The objective of the game was to score as many points as possible, with each member of each team getting 5 throws. The closer the axe to the bullseye, the higher the points awarded. We played a best-of-5 series, with each game incorporating some new variation, such as trick shots being awarded double points, throwing two axes, using your weaker hand, etc. My team ended up winning in 4 games. We then had a cool down period where we were just messing around, playing H-O-R-S-E and trying different trick shots. Then just like that, about 2 hours in, our time was cut off. My issue with this? The "game" really only took about half an hour. The rest of the time was spent practicing or just messing around. For a $50 fee, I feel that 20 throws (4 games x 5 throws) of gameplay is way too little. I would have gladly taken some time away from some practice and post-game messing around to be able to play another game. Perhaps create a variety of types of games to play in a circuit format, or damn at least give us more than a best-of-5... Value-for-money wise, you get next to nothing. Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun. But at the price point they operate at, I don't think I'd ever go again. It's just priced too high to be viable as a recreational, once-in-a-while activity. I'm very curious to see their customer data and see just what % of their clients are repeat visitors... Because you can only rely on first-time visitors looking to try that "new fun thing" for so long - eventually, they run out. I'd like to see axe throwing scale well, I really do. But it may rely a slightly altered business model. We'll see what happens in a couple years. Ps. Andre stayed back half an hour past the end of his shift to allow us to chat/clean up. Much appreciated. read more

This is something everyone prepping for the zombie apocalypse should try. The staff is very helpful, and always helping to get your form down. If I was local, I would check out their league night. If you do check it out, ask about the wildcard throws, they're tricky. Definitely fun, and would go again read more

This place is great for a fun bonding experience and igniting the competitive flames. Amanda is a great hostess and instigator of fun. The price may seem a bit steep, but once you find your groove you'll definitely be planning your next visit. Cheers to Amanda and a great time at Bad Axe Throwing Mississauga. read more

We came here yesterday for a friend's birthday, and had a blast! The atmosphere is very laid-back, with several stations available to run at once. Events are setup in such a way that everyone gets multiple chances to throw, despite their skill. I would definitely go back! read more

This is a trendy with hipsters but I had fun regardless of its stigma... It's not too hard to get the hang of it and Coach Mel was very helpful in perfecting technique. We had a lot of fun! read more

This was a great venue for a birthday party! Since it was my first time, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was really a great fun experience. Dotta (our hostess) really helped put by giving us tips and keeping score. There was another group on the other side of the unit but it was never an issue- we were able to bring our own snacks and drinks which was nice and the waiver signing system was quite easy. I would say it was a successful evening of axe throwing! Definitely looking into doing this all again in the near future! Thanks! David read more

Bad Axe Throwing - Axe Throwing Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Well the name is appropriate. Almost twice as expensive as competitors, shorter throwing distance and two lanes for 30 people. It worked out to 2/throw. The host was good, setup was amateur and experience was meh. The cost prices this out of the reach of being a usual event. My suggestion, go somewhere else! Axe throwing is fun, waiting and overspending is not! read more

The most disorganized place ever! Me and my friends were told to leave and come back at a certain time and that a spot would be available for us, we come back 20 minutes earlier than they told us to and a very disrespectful employee got sassy with us and told us "no its not guaranteed and because you left you have to wait until 9:40" even though we were told to leave! Then while discussing our frustration he changed it to "10:00pm" out of the blue! We were very confused how time could be growing as we spoke and he just told us that it is what it is and walked away. This is the worst customer service especially because when we asked for a manager's number or customer service number he said that they ran out of cards and he doesn't know their number conveniently. So needless to say, they put the "bad" in "Bad Axe Throwing". read more

This place was awesome - and our group had a great time. We were a group of six on a corporate event - and everyone really enjoyed it. Our coach - Erica - did a fantastic time of making everyone comfortable with the axes and provided excellent instruction for the group. Reasonably priced, lots of fun, and possible adding a bar (?!?) - highly recommended. read more

Had an amazing time with my family here! Jordan, our instructor, was fantastic. This is a great place for some laughs while trying something new! read more

It was fun and our group enjoyed it. But $100/couple is pretty steep for what you actually get for the cost.

We came here for a Bachelor Party with 13 total people and had a 12-3 reservation. Everything went really well and the whole group had a great time. You start out just practicing with some help from the instructor. It is a little intimidating at first but you catch on pretty quick. Everyone was able to play and have fun doing it. Then they have you split into teams and play some different games. At the end we even got to play against another bachelor party that was there the same time as us. It was a great time, would definitely do it again. The BYOB policy is especially cool. Special shoutout to our instructor Erica, she did a great job (especially since we were kind of a rowdy group). Check this place out if you're looking for a good time! read more

We were told to leave and come back at a certain time. We came back 20 min before the time they told us to come back and then were told because we left that we had to wait an extra 25 minutes instead on top of the hour we were already told to wait. I understand that there is a policy that it is first come first served, but we were told to leave and then told that because we left we were no longer the first to be served. We also asked to speak to a manager because the lack of communication in this workplace is kind of ridiculous, and we were told they were out of cards and to just call the 1888 number on the site. They also were not able to provide an email address or the name of the manager to ask for should we try to contact them. For a building to display "walk ins welcomed" they should have a better system of taking names and ensuring that the customers that showed up first are actually served first. read more

I am here yesterday with a group of friends for my birthday party and we had an awesome time! The location was very casual and open, we had our own area with a mini fridge, couches and tables for food and drinks (you can bring alcohol by the way!). Our instructor was very nice and encouraging, he helped us understand how to correctly throw an axe and the trick shots were really cool. Being our first time, many of us were nervous and scared but the atmosphere and support from the staff was amazing and they were very helpful. Definitely returning with more friends and family! Make sure to book in advance, as they are only open to appointments and credit card payments only! read more
