We enjoyed the sword fighting and the other acting performances. Of course there were food and alcohol; from turkey legs, hot dogs, to ciders, and craft beer. I really enjoyed the pickle booth lol. The food and everything else were pretty affordable. I loved seeing everyone dressed up. The only downfall was that it was so hot out. I look forward to going next year!

Since we had jr racers with us, we were able to split our party into two races and go sooner. This race was a little different as you weren't racing for first place, rather the fastest time The staff were a reasonable, and gave direction to safely maneuver the karts. There is a debriefing video before you ride that must be watched.

There were rides, food trucks/tents, vendor/arts/craft booths, and music. First we started off at the carnival rides. They had a ferris wheel, huge slide, and various of other rides my little one enjoyed. Then we had food; so many options to to choose from. We had the fried potato/cheese/corn balls from Chompers food truck. My husband and son had hot dogs at another vendor. I had pad Thai from a Thai booth. All were good and decently priced. There's ice cream for dessert; something for everyone! There were over 150 vendor booths. We bought some art from various vendors. The quality and craftsmanship at these booths were great. I am happy to support small businesses! The turn out was great, there were hundreds of people. Overall, a fun family event and can't be missed!

I've been here twice now, once years ago and once just this month (July 2026). After going…read morerecently, I decided it was time to write a review! Ownership has switched hands, and I believe I had a group on both times I went, if you're looking to save a few bucks. My only complaint (at all) would be that it was a little bit warmer than I would've liked, especially once you're moving around and actually doing any sort of activity. Now that that's over, let's talk about the good parts! The axe throwing is super fun, and we all enjoyed it after learning about the rules and safety tips then learning how to hold the axe correctly and throw it, and we continued to get pointers and help as needed if we were struggling throughout our allotted time. All of the stuff we encountered were friendly and personable. One great thing that we learned is a newer offering is that the pool tables, darts, and cornhole is now free! As in, pop in and buy a beer or a hard seltzer for a drink after a rough workday and relax and unwind with free activities in a clean indoor space! We will definitely be returning to take advantage because while I LOVE axe throwing, it could get expensive to do every week. The pizza place in there is different than it was the first time we went. And, it was actually not open when we went at 1 PM on a Saturday, which was fine for us because we had already eaten and had dinner plans later so we were not there for food. Our understanding is that it's a one-man show so there may only be pizza/the restaurant open during busy hours, as opposed to every time Montana Nights is open. Something to keep in mind if you're thinking about eating while visiting.

I'm so in love with you I'll be your saviour, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue" (Jagger and Richards) A professional organization I belong to was scheduled to hold an axe throwing party/charity fundraiser at Pine & Iron in Hartford last night. But two and a half days ago, they contacted us to cancel because they had closed their doors for good. We didn't want to cancel the event, so what were we to do? Well, Montana Nights came to our rescue and 20 of us had a blast. Our Guardian Angel was manager Carolyn, who worked in a slot for our group, arranged an instructor, pizza and sandwiches from Square Peg, and drink tickets from their bar (beer and axes, what could go wrong?). Anyway, we had a freaking blast at Montana Nights. Our instructor Kyle was great. He gave us a safety talk, demonstrated one hand and two hand throwing techniques, and broke us into two teams for some axe flinging fun. We threw at a conventional bulls eye target, an unconventional bulls eye target where the center moved around, and Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four variations. I threw ten axes in warm ups, and then 20 axes in two ten-frame 4-person team contests. I stuck one out of ten in the warm ups, just one in Game #1, but improved significantly by sticking 4 in the second game. I even had a center Bulls Eye!! By the way, the food from Square Peg was great - lots of different pizzas, grinders cut into fours, and a big salad. Thank you Carolyn and Kyle for saving our event. It was a charity collection event where our members donated new clothing, toys, and household supplies for Madonna House in Norwich, CT. I would love to see Yelp incorporate more of some sort of charity collections at our events. Sort of a "Pay It Forward" philosophy. Everyone can afford to bring a few cans of soup or tuna to donate to a group that needs them.

It was jam packed with couples and families and folks of all ages enjoying the sun, the scenery, and a perfect summer day. Hartford has really come a long way since I moved here in 1987. The Science Center, the Convention Center, a re-invigorated downtown, the Lincoln Sculpture Art Walk, and the beautiful Riverfront. I can't wait to see what the future brings.

Nice size stadium with plenty of seats and a great view no matter the spot. The bathrooms are located outside in the pavilion and they are disgusting. Old school urinal that looks like a giant sink. No soap or paper towels in the bathroom didn't help. The parking was conveniently located on a dirt lot outside the stadium. $10 to park and another $11 for the game ticket. Definitely worth another trip when Brown is back in New Haven.

This is a review of the Yale University athletic fields just across Central Avenue from the…read morestadium. During the 1950s, these athletic fields surrounded a complex of married student housing units. The address for this complex was 70 Central Avenue. The houses were quonset huts with corrugated metal roofs. In the summer, we threw punctured water hoses over our roof to keep it wet and to cool down the inside. Each quonset hut was divided in half, for use for two different families. The front door for each half resided at opposite sides of the quonset hut. The family occupying the other half of our quonset was the Anamunthado family from Bermuda. The inside of their home had a bad smell. My photographs show me, my mother, me and my sister at Halloween, one of my parties inside our quonset hut showing my friends from Edgewood Elementary School, and me and my sister inside the quonset hut wearing Davy Crockett hats. The athletic fields to the north were used for football practice, and I enjoyed viewing the large sleds with huge pads, where the pads were used for football players for shoving and pushing. Another athletic field was indoors, and this was an indoor polo field where students could ride horses and play polo. On a couple of occasions, I cut across the athletic field to the north on my way to school, and I crawled under the fence at the northeast corner of the field, but usually I took the sidewalk the entire way to Edgewood School. In one of my photos, you can see a girl (not a relative) wearing an Edgewood School shirt. In 1960, the quonset huts were torn down and we moved to Seattle.
