What an awesome choice for a team event. A simple space, from the picture you can see a set up which includes two targets each, small axes and boards to keep score for the real tournament! The hosts spend a least an hour patiently instructing us on the safe and appropriate manner to swing the axe at the target. Many of us got bullseye right off the top, some, like me, flung the thing over the target. But in the end, if you are looking for a fun team building exercise for a reasonable cost, this is certainly a great option. I don't know if you can always do it, but if you have a big group, you can probably negotiate a lower rate than the $45 per person.

So much fun!! Who would think hurling an axe at a piece of wood would be a great evening out?…read more Location: On Leslie Street in Newmarket. In an industrial/ business plaza. Parking: Lots of parking. You know, 'cause it's the suburbs dood. Front: Gps helped me find it because I kept driving into the wrong driveways d'oh. It's in the corner. There's a sign. Inside. Tinier than I thought it would be. Three cages made of metal fencing. Very high ceiling! Each cage has two round targets made of big pieces of wood. How it works: Two teams two hurlers at a time. Where your axe lands , you count points It's hard hitting the target but fun. You get a lot of practice throws! Nothing like the satisfaction of hitting the bullseye!! Hit it twice in a row and you feel like wonder women!! Conclusion: I'm coming back. I've never had so much fun doing exercise. :)

My sister and I organized a joint birthday celebration for 2 children. We were a party of 7 in…read moretotal. We chose the Combat games option which is a 1 hour block. It's $50 per adult and slightly less for children. You pay for one adult in advance to make the reservation, and the remainder the day of the event. You'll also need to sign waivers before you can participate. The facility is easily accessible just off the south side of Sheppard Avenue. There's adequate parking. You should make sure you check what room you're assigned to, because there are separate entrances around the building. You have to be buzzed in just before your slot. We arrived in time and were greeted by a staff who quickly confirmed our party and led us in. It was very efficient. We were asked to remove our shoes, and we were offered use of the foozball and billiard tables before we began. We were led through to our arean and the restrooms were pointed out to us before beginning. When we reached our assigned room, we had lockers (no locks) provided to us to store our belongings. Then we were ready to begin. Anna, our instructor, took over and explained the rules and equipment we'd be playing with. In addition to our bows and soft tip arrows, we were provided with helmets and arm guards. We were booked with another group of 7 or 8 players. You can reserve a private booking if you wish. The staff assisted with fitting our helmets properly, and demonstrated how to wear our arms guards and load and fire our bows. You can wear indoors only shoes if you bring them, but everyone just wore their socks. The sectioned room is the size of a small gym and the floors are similarly marked with zones. There are large, cushion "bunkers" and 2 sniper "towers" where players can take turns off the ground if they wish. We played a series of target games throughout our session. Anna clearly explained the rules for each set. It's moderately aerobic activity as you will be moving across the floor to target your opponents, and pick up arrows to keep using as you play. You also get sweaty from wearing the helmet. It was a great group activity. Kudos to Anna for keeping things organized and running smoothly. You don't need any prior experience, although it helps to know how to use your arm guard properly. Bruises inside my elbow notwithstanding, I'd love to come back for another round.

So. Much. Fun!!! I'm not from the area and we almost specifically came into town because of this…read moreplace. Wasn't sure what we were getting into but it exceeded our expectations! Came for a Bach party and had way too much fun. We had a hour of saber wars and another hour of archery. Playing both, we would play 10mins or so of mini games and challenges. Think games like capture the flag, or aiming for a target. We had a room to ourselves with little plush barriers as a shield. It sounded like other games were going (seems like many other rooms of fun!) Both games had safety gear and a guide who thoroughly explained the rules of how to not get hurt. Obviously if playing, you do need to be careful! My favorite was the archery! The arrows we shot had a marshmallow end so you wouldn't get hurt. So much fun! If you have the time, try it out!

I came here with some friends late evening, around 9:00pm, for some axe throwing. We had originally…read morereserved for 8:30 pm, but the staff were generous to let us move the reservation. Upon arrival, I found the facility very modern, clean and organized. They had several tables in the middle for dine-in. The axe throwing cages were large, each with 2 lanes and firm fence all around. It was easy go in and out of the lane and interact with friends. There also had several drinks and alcohol available at the bar/register counter. At the beginning a staff member briefed us the axe throwing process and assisted us with first few throws. Then we played about 6 rounds of games. The boards were in pretty bad condition, as they were being for a long time. Bullseye and other markings almost faded away. After that, we tried the daggers for few rounds. None of us could really stick the daggers in the board. The cost came about $36 CAD per person for about 45 minutes. Overall we had a good fun time. They staff were friendly and helpful.

Although they have food options available, I was amazed to find out that I was able to order in the food of my choice (see review for Bosphorus). BATL set up our area for our spread and provided us with plates and utensils. Upon arrival, we were provided with comprehensive instructions on how to throw by our amazing instructor, Angel. Her enthusiasm was next level and right from the start, she had the team engaged and excited. The couple of hours we had booked flew bye and everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking them for any type of event.

Pursuit OCR was super fun! The first time I went was when they first opened many years ago, back in…read morethe old location (smaller venue). This newer location was bigger, more spacious, and had more obstacles and areas such as dodgeball & volleyball arena and arcade games (which you can play after finished with going through the obstacle course). I really liked the diversity of all of the courses. For some of them, you can choose the 'easy' or 'hard' version. Once you finish going through all of the obstacles in the course (which took ~30-45 minutes), you can play dodgeball, volleyball, arcade games, giant Jenga, giant 4-In-A-Row, try scaling up one of the vertical walls, or go through any of the obstacles again. Staff were all super friendly and energetic, from the ones who greeted us at the front and helped us check in, to the ones who explained the rules once inside. Useful tips: - Sign the waiver online to save time when checking in. - Bring a lock or you can purchase one at the front desk for $4. - There is ample parking space in the parking lot right outside the building, and TTC bus stop is 2-8 minutes walk (depending on which bus # you take). - There is a vending machine where you can purchase drinks. - It's better to wear long pants or leggings instead of shorts because in some obstacles, there are 'slides' component and parts where the surface can rub hard against the skin (and pants also do a better job at protecting the knee when crawling).
