    Made a reservation for 1 hour here and also was my first time trying out axe throwing. The staff were super helpful and friendly in the whole process and also teaching how to throw the axes. Definitely a thrill and once you get used to it, it doesn't seem as hard to hit the target. Love that this location in Greenpoint is close to the city and also Queens. Definitely recommend checking it out, be sure to book online in advanced.

    Our friend reserved a one-hour experience at Bury the Hatchet - Brooklyn for a party of 3. We drove there and was able to find parking very easily. Our reservation was for 8:00pm, but we showed up close to 9:00pm. The staff was kind enough to let us keep our reservation. We signed our waivers which were a google form and were informed to go to lane 3. Inside Bury the Hatchet, there were lanes on both sides each with 2 target boards and each sectioned off by fences. Alexandra was our Axe Master. She first reviewed some safety techniques and gave a training session for about 15 minutes. I had done axe throwing before many years ago so I definitely needed a refresher. She showed me how to hold the axe and how to throw it. I practiced throwing it a few times and then she came back to tell us about our first game. The first game we played was the first person to score 30 points wins, then we played a game where there were 5 balloons on the target board and the player that pops the most balloons win, and the last game we played was the first person to score 21 points win but if you score over 21 points then you go back to 0. We used an iPad to keep score. The iPad screen was also displayed on the TV in our lane. Our Axe Master would explain the game rules, check in periodically to see how we were doing, and inform us how much time we had left. She was friendly. Our friend added on the mystery box option for $20 each. At the end, our Axe Master bought out 6 boxes, which have different coupons such as a t-shirt or a free session, and I had to randomly pick one. I got a glass cup. There is a bar and yard games like giant jenga and connect four inside as well. It was a really fun night and I had a great time with my friends. We each got bullseye a few times. I highly recommend this activity with friends. There are options for also throwing unique and specialty items like knives and ninja stars. We dropped our tip to our axe masters bucket at the end.

    All the different weapons we had access to!

    Son's 30th was a blast so much better than other axe experiences we have had, the team Member who helped us was fun and very knowledgeable on the great beer selections. We played with more than axes - stars, spears, knives, machetes. Highly suggested.

    Great spot on the area and staff very friendly. Came here on Saturday afternoon with group people relatively cheap for 6 people only 50$ a person. The got a bar inside To have some drinks when throwing as well. They got some Games you could play and various size axes for all types of people. Our attendant was helpful and on par for any questions we had during our Two hour stay. Well worth the visit and I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area. I also saw the have a axe throwing league which was pretty cool to do if I lived closer.

    Great date night vibes! I visited on a Sunday evening. Reservation was for 6 and everything started precisely at 6. They have a small bar area offering beer, hard seltzer's, water, soda and snacks. Each lane has an instructor... he was super cool, giving tips and tricks but also making sure we were staying safe. Your ticket includes one hour of axe throwing. Time goes by fast once you get the hang of it. Trophy's can also be purchased for the winner! Such a fun time.

    We went for a date night on a Friday. They had great music going on as you begin to play. There is a bar available. While the picture shows a straight shot, I will say it is harder than it seems. I was not as good as my partner, but at least I hit the bulls eye once. The assigned staff to you will show you different methods of throwing the axe to nest accommodate your needs and also introduce different games to play. It was a great summer night activity

    This place was awesome. We went there to celebrate my boyfriend birthday with a group of 9 people and we had a blast. Debbie and Heidi were very helpful answering my questions and helping make the reservation. They answer the email on a timely matter. Once we arrived to the location Ashley was our instructor and she was awesome. Very nice and helpful. It was our first time there and I would definitely go back. Ashley explain to us safety guidelines and the game she came up with made the experience even better.

    Holy smokes, this place is so fun! Danny helped me stick the axe, which like, I could not do before. Definitely will be back!

    First time axe throwing, won't be my last. When we walked in Tara at the front desk was very welcoming and explained everything we needed to know about the location. Lucas was our instructor. He was perfect. He was brief and concise as he explained safety rules and axe throwing techniques. In minutes after arriving we were throwing real axes! As far as group activities this is far better than bowling or playing pool. There are different competitive games you can play within throwing the axes; so it never gets boring. The 90 minute session went too fast. Suggestion eat before you visit or bring your own food in or have it delivered. They sell chips and soda. Water is free. They are in the process of getting a liquor license. Great time! Can't wait to throw some more axes!

    Danny made it amazing

    See all

    Can we bring kids?

    No children under the age of 16 are allowed in the facility , Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult

    Is there parking close by?

    Just street parking. When I was there I had to park a few blocks away.

    Are they serving alcohol yet?

    Not quite yet.

    Did you guys acquire a tavern license yet?

    Yes when I went I called ahead of time to inquire and they didn't get it yet.

    Everything seems confusing. Do they sell beer? Do you have to bring your own? Is it no alcohol? Their photos have people holding beers but their site says it's BYO non alcoholic drinks and food. What's the deal?

    We have applied for a tavern license and we intend to sell beer, wine and cider. So right now we do not have any food or beverages in house. The photos you see might from other locations . Hope this helps

The guys at the front are super chill and the place looks like somebody's messy garage where all your complex emotions can just be purged out of your body and just stay there, and I'm really here for it. We were given safety hazmat style suits and helmets with a protective mesh and ear coverings which were really useful because things do tend to fly off the walls when they're being smashed and that's on my girl ~* PhYsiCs *~.... The staff was super accommodating and gave us multiple small and big items to smash in to pieces. The landline telephones were my favorite because they are rock solid and it's SO satisfying when they finally break. The whole experience was delightful. I think we may even have stayed way over our allotted time but nobody really seemed to care, as I said this place is just super chill and the type of environment you need to unleash all your pent up anger at the world. They even have speakers that you can pair your phone with as you smash things. 10/10 highly recommend this place and I will be back again when the itch to throw hands and fight the world comes back to me!!

    The experience was beyond disappointing and honestly unacceptable. The staff was completely…read moreinattentive and offered little to no instruction or guidance from the moment we arrived. We were simply told that we could not throw the larger items, only the cups, and then left to figure everything else out on our own. To make matters worse, we paid extra for the "360 video experience," only to find out it was nothing more than our own phone being placed on their device -- something that was never properly explained beforehand. Charging customers extra for that is extremely misleading. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of care and professionalism from the two staff members working. After sitting around for an extended period with no communication, we literally had to go out and ask whether our session was even over. That level of disinterest and poor customer service was obvious the entire time. My family and I came here to celebrate a birthday, and instead we left frustrated and disappointed. Spending nearly $300 for this level of service was a complete waste of money. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone.

Our instructor, Martin, was funny, informative, and insightful. I learned more about archery in those first 15 minutes than I had in my entire life. He was very directive about what was important to employ in terms of technique, things to look out for (like when retrieving your arrow or if you happen to drop one, and your quill could accidentally become a hazard), and where to keep focus. I think my target speaks volumes for how well they make sure you understand what you're doing. I only wish that I could have taken more pictures and video, but it wasn't clear whether or not we could, and I didn't want to introduce a potential hazard (to them or myself). Great experience. Would love to go back!

Skyscape is a really engaging and a well designed experience. Theres a lot to see and do, with interactive spy style missions that kept both me and my son entertained the entire time! My son was completely locked in the whole time and I was right there pretending I definitely understood the instructions on the first try. It's mostly a hands on experience, you're not just walking through exhibits, you're actually participating, solving challenges and learning as you go. Even better, it didn't feel crowded, which made it comfortable to move through at our own pace. We were able to go back and redo some of the exhibits we enjoyed, which made the experience even more fun the second (and third) time around. Overall, a great mix of entertainment and learning, especially for kids but enjoyable for adults too. 10/10. My son loved every second. I loved pretending I knew what was going on.

On weeknights, it's cheaper than the weekends, which made this experience more worth it at $27pp. Plus, you also save a couple dollars by purchasing your tickets beforehand online. We participated in the Spygames portion, which was worth doing. Once we got a wristband and setup an account, we got to start the games. They also offer free lockers (you'll want to remove any purses, bags, jackets, etc) as you'll be moving a lot. There's 10 rooms of a variety of games although some are similar or duplicates. You'll be very active jumping, climbing, and running around. The hour went by pretty quick but we were both sweating and exhausted by the end of it, so an hour is really all you need.
