We had the best time here! It's great for a date activity. We were surprised at the variety of games- if you've never been, just know there's more than just a basic target. The time flew by so fast. The staff was so kind and helpful. They gave wonderful instructions on how to properly hold and throw the axe. There's also a ton of restaurants nearby so you can grab a bite before or after your axe throwing sesh! read more

Had a date here recently, and it wasn't too busy because we went during the afternoon and peak times are around nighttime. This was my first time axe throwing, but it was actually really fun. The staff were very professional and cordial! Really cool activity to give a try once in a while! The staff were very helpful and patient - gave us some tips and techniques to get us going. I opted for the everything bucket, shovel/axe/ knife, and I gotta say it was pretty worth it for the extra cost as you get to work with the different weight distributions. When you actually get the hit in, the sounds they make on the wooden boards is really nice. The entrance to this place is however, situated behind the main street since if you were to go through the entrance on commonwealth, you'd be in the axe throwing ranges already. Situated in the heart of downtown Fullerton, there's plenty of parking spots available. The public lots near the fullerton train station, street parking, etc. read more

Last month, we were walking around after grabbing matcha when we passed by The Axe Liar and immediately said, "We have to try that place." Fast forward to this month. We were out having dinner nearby and decided to finally give it a shot. We showed up just before 8 PM and luckily they had space for walk-ins. First thing we had to do was sign a waiver. Nothing says "fun night out" like promising not to sue if things get a little wild. They give a teacher discount- just show your ID. We booked an hour and chose the axe (they also had knives, shovels, and a few other options--definitely trying the full bucket next time). We were set up in lane 3, and one of the staff members walked us through how to throw and how to switch between different games. We started with good old-fashioned target practice, and I actually won the first round (felt pretty proud of that!). But then we played tic-tac-toe... and let's just say I got destroyed. Like, not even close. I kept telling myself it was just a warm-up. My boyfriend is very competitive so he was definitely in my head. We played a few more games, and eventually I found my rhythm. Turns out, you have to really throw hard if you want that axe to stick. Good news: I came back and won the last two rounds. Girl power for the win! Overall, this place was a blast. The vibe was relaxed, dim lighting, the staff was super helpful, and it ended up being way more fun than I expected. If you are looking for something different to do, especially with friends or for date night, I would totally recommend it. Just make sure to stretch your shoulders beforehand... and maybe your ego, too lol. read more

It was so much fun! Rage room was VERY satisfying and throwing axes was relaxing as well. Perfect for date nights or family outings.

Had a spontaneous date night at the Axe Lair! It was perfect for me bc it was a Thursday night and wasn't crowded. This was also our first time axe throwing. It was actually much harder than it looks. The staff were very helpful and patient - gave us plenty of time to get warmed up to the process and even taught us some techniques along the way. Appreciate the great customer service they provided! Really cool activity to give a try or to release some tension! read more

We had a great time here celebrating my birthday in DTF with a group of 11 people. Some of us had done it before and some hadn't, but everyone had fun. I got our reservation online a week prior which was easy since we paid ahead of time. It was $30/person for an hour slot, and that seems to be pretty standard fare for axe throwing. The actual entrance is on the parking lot side rather than the sidewalk on Commonwealth. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and taught us how to best throw the axe (we didn't upgrade to the bag of knives and shovels) as well as how to work the projector in each lane. They have lots of different targets and games to choose from! Be warned that there's no food/alcohol for sale here. They do have a fridge with water bottles and stuff for sale up front but it'd be cool if they could turn that small waiting area into a mini bar so you can get beers and snacks, though I get why they don't do that. It was a cool spot to let out some aggression before we wandered over to our dinner reservation later that night. We'll be coming back for sure--it'd be nice with a smaller group, like a double date or something. Definitely worth trying! read more

This was a spontaneous family thing to do but it was fun even though I suck at most sports. We had a great time. - Teachers get a discount (must show proof). - You get your own space. - Everyone signs a waiver and participates in mandatory training on the proper way to throw and retrieve. - You sign up by the package and play time. - Staff is very courteous and helpful. Downside is they do not sell food or alcohol but with the restaurants/bars around you can go before/after. read more

I went to the axe lair for my first date ever while I was waiting the staff member Andy played a round of chess and I thought I got stood up so Andy was kind and upgraded to full gear, and than when I the she was late because her sister had to go to the hospital so we had to reschedule her was very under standing and as I wait he told the good restaurant in the are. 10/10 will 100% come agian. Thanks Andy read more

I visited the Axe Lair November 7th for various reasons, none of them being the election results. I've never thrown an axe in my life but I found it to be fairly easy to learn and once we got going it felt great! Definitely a stress relieving activity that gets your mind off of current events. They have various axe games you can play and I could stay there for hours just practicing. It's great with a group of friends or going solo! We were there on a Wednesday so it wasn't too busy at all. Our axe host was really nice and showed us how to throw and gave us tips on our form, but we had to let him know we were first timers and ask for the full demo. There's no alcohol served here, but I would recommend this place for a group outing or one of those team building outings and then after your done walk to one of the plethora of bars surrounding the place for a drink and/or food. Check-in on Yelp to get 10% off and parking is around back, as is the entrance! read more

Hey Siri, this place was so easy to find and very clean and so fun. Music was playing, and our coach, Julia, was so patient and explained the process clearly. I would definitely come back again.

We had so much fun trying out all the weapon throwing on our date night. The staff was friendly and the place was easy to find and walkable to bars in the area. read more

Good one time experience. A little overpriced in my opinion for throwing axes. I wish they offered price that's not based off per person. If you come with four people and share a booth for one hour, it cost 4x the amount as for one person. But you get less time to throw while you are waiting for your party to take their turn. You might as well book four separate booths and all throw at the same time. Besides that issue, it's fun for 20 minutes and then gets boring after a while. So I would recommend getting 30 minutes and buy another half hour if needed. read more

Who knew axe throwing would be so much fun!! As first timers, we booked an hour spot on a Saturday night, easy waiver, and check. You get 10-15min introduction on throwing items (knife, axe, or short shovel) and throwing techniques prior to start. The individual lanes were caged with different targets available to test your skills. Some down points on lane space especially for groups greater than three and music. read more

The prices are fair and we had so much fun!! The workers were also friendly and helpful. read more

It was our first time! We had so much fun. We did it for 1 hour, next time we will do 2. I recommend going with a group of people and going for 2 hours read more

Dropped into this lovely little hole-in-the-wall spot the other night. The place was well organized and managed while still providing that fun, casual atmosphere that makes this kind of sport fun for everyone. The staff was also very welcoming and engaging. Ean was the AXE-pert in that evening. He did a fantastic job showing me around and providing a real professional and relaxing atmosphere. We pretty much just hung out, threw axes, and listened to kick-ass music the whole time. Great guy, great teacher, great spot. The only thing its missing is an upgrade from a snack bar to serving drinks and/or food. Otherwise...excellent experience! read more

Such a fun experience! It's about 30/per and if you come in sandals they give you coverings for another couple bucks. They have different games and give you quick tips before you start . Only Downside is you can't have any drinks while throwing. read more

Had a great time and the workers were super friendly! There were plenty of games to play so it wasn't just throwing an axe at a target the whole time. Definitely am coming again! Went earlier in the day so it wasn't as crowded as I'm sure it get. read more

My family and I decided to give this place a try and made a reservation to do some axe throwing. This place was incredibly fun! I cannot recommend this family owned business enough! The customer service was great, the shop was clean and it had cute wall paintings. The cool thing about this axe throwing location is that they had fun mini games that went along with the axe throwing instead of just target throwing. They use computer projectors for each of the stalls. Along with target shooting, the mini games included connect four, tic-tack toe, zombie kills, duck hunting, etc. We decided to go a little earlier on a Saturday night and almost had the place to ourselves! I recommend making reservations for a larger party like we did and you will not be disappointed! It seems to get more packed at night because of its location in downtown Fullerton. read more

Easy to get into. Only thing is no alcoholic drinks. I would like to enjoy a drink and swing an axe to a wall. Nvm bad combination. But place is good and pricing is reasonable. Different interactive games read more

Fun place to go after drinking / eating close by. We got 30 mins for $20 each, so not a horrible price but It could be cheaper. You get one axe to share with the group, and the cool part is that they have a projector in each lane so you can play actual games like connect 4 or tic tac toe. read more

First timers. Anthony was a great coach. He didn't just run through the instructions and coaching once and walked away... he was thorough & explained a few methods to test what worked best for our party. It was such a fun first experience that we ended up going an extra round. And we will for sure be back. read more

Me and my partner went in on a Saturday night, she had never been axe throwing and I had been before once at another place in LA. I 100% prefer Axe Lair, the staff is friendly and fun, they give genuine instruction to make sure you are not only doing it safely but are able to throw the axe well and have a better time than just figuring it out yourself like some other axe throwing places. They have different game options you can play with so it doesn't have to be just you throwing an axe at the same target for an hour. Fairly priced, $20/person for 1/2 hour and $30 for full. I would suggest the full hour and the staff is lenient if you meet your time but are in the middle of a game, so we were able to finish our round and get a few good throws in before we had to leave. Definitely recommend! read more
