This was not my first time axe throwing but for the other in the party, it was. We came for my moms birthday. My mother had the best time! The staff is friendly and offer great coaching. Ask for Kim is she's there. She's amazing. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because their is limited space so the lanes are shorter and you can't throw with 2 hands. If you can't tell, I'm a two hander. Outside of that, we have such a great time. If it's your birthday, let them know and they will give you a balloon to pop during your lane time. This is a small business and seems to be family owned. Which I absolutely love! Definitely coming back!!!

My son had is 13th birthday party here and I can't even begin to say how much fun these boys had! Our instructor, Sarah, was amazing and helped guide all of them in proper throwing technique. They got lots of practice then the games began. We had the projector lane so we started with a zombie target and the game cornhole, then switched to tic-tac-toe, which became the most intense game of tic-tac-toe any of us ever experienced . My son even really loved that he got to cut his cake with an axe. Every kid (and even moms) had a BLAST and I would 100% recommend this place for your child's next birthday party or even a fun night out with friends!!

First timers and we had a blast. Chris was awesome and made us feel really comfortable. We paid the extra $10 which included the knives, ninja stars, etc. The different options made it a great experience. We can't wait to go back!!

First time axe throwing. What a great experience The Virginia Axe provided. The owners are some of the friendliest and nicest you will ever meet. First class customer service the moment we walked in. They really made our group feel at home. They were patient and fun in teaching our group of 7. We will definitely be back.

Looking for something fun and different? Come to this place and throw some axes and or knives. From the minute we entered we were treated with great customer service from every employee. They gave great instruction for first time axe throwers, with some useful pointers and coaching throughout the process. Once they felt we were getting the hang of it they gave us a fun competitive game to play. If I were a local I would definitely return to this business. This is a great place for date night, team building , stress relief, hanging with friends, etc.

I took my husband here for his birthday and we had a great time! The staff take time at the beginning to teach you how to throw and they give you pointers if your axe throwing isn't quite cutting it. In addition, they started us both off with the same axe but after seeing how we were throwing, suggested different ones for both of us. This made our night much more enjoyable because we were doing better. They have snacks and drinks for purchase and they also have games for partners once you get the hang of it. I added on the package that teaches you how to throw knives and other fun items, and our coach Chris the manager, really did a great job. We definitely recommend!

This place belong on the list to visit when in the Richmond area. I had never tried throwing an axe before and this place made the experience amazing! The staff was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and great at instructing. I had never done anything like this and their staff was able to teach me how to in a matter of minutes. They made this experience so much fun. They take the time to help you find the right stance and show you how to throw. Within a short amount of time we were ready to play games. We had a great time and I will definitely come back to do this again when I return. Don't be intimidated because you don't think you can do it, they break it all down and show you exactly how to do it. Tons of fun and very enjoyable.

My adult son and I spent some father/son time this Saturday, ax throwing for the first time. We had a blast. Enjoyed both ax throwing (easy to get the hang of after a few throws) plus trying knife throwing. Owners were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They explained the different types of equipment and how competitive throwing works. They made sure we were safe and having fun. We learned a lot on our first visit. Nice, well-lit facility and plenty of parking with easy interstate access. Well worth it and we will definitely be returning.

What a fun first time axe throwing! My two close friends and I booked a reservation to axe throw on a Friday evening and we were glad that we did. It was a great stress reliever, I mean let's be honest this year has been stressful. Nice place nestled in Rockville just a little past Short Pump area. Great activity for social distancing & mask are required. $35 per person and you can have between 2-7 throwers. Knife-throwing is an additional $10 if you want to try that. Booking our reservation online was quick and easy. We end up needing to push our time back and VA axe was able to accommodate with no issues. The staff members were friendly and helpful throughout our whole time there. The drinks and snacks are self service. Safe to say that we will be back again soon! We really enjoyed ourselves and the friendly competition it brought out in us all. Recommendations: closed toed shoes, comfy clothing. Pros: Great stress reliever, perfect group outing, social distancing activity. Cons: There aren't any. read more

This amazing experience is worth the drive. Want to throw axes, sure. How about 5 different kinds. Then add the amazing spears, throwing stars, cards, discs, spades(shovel), and top that off with knives, etc. . Let's just tack on some supervised ax trick shots and you have the best place near Richmond. Here is the best part. You get the best trainers in the biz. I felt like we could ask any question and get pro quality instruction! The staff was sharp and on point (pardon the pun) Tip: don't go hungry, there is no food (outside of packed chips and bottled drinks) or alcohol on the premises. This should change in About 3 mths. Bar/Cafe to come. What a great spot. read more

Went with a group of 9, 6 throwers and 3 observers on a gloomy Sunday afternoon to toss some axes. Was welcomed by Brad who was warm and witty and spent a lot of time showing us the ropes and gave excellent instructions. Maggie was also there to help guide our group on the proper way to toss and to banter with Brad which was really funny. After a few bad throws, loud bangs, and total misses, our group got the hang of it and it was a ton of fun! Tossing the stars made us feel like ninjas! Great for groups, team building, etc. read more

Came here last night and had a blast. The ladies working were so helpful I was struggling with throwing the axe one hand so they taught me how with both hands and from there the rest was history. They offered up fun games to play against your partner. We upgraded to the ninja stars, knifes etc which was so much fun. You can work up a sweat in the 1.5 you are there. Things lacking: food... they have snacks (chips, ice cream, candy, I think I saw hot pocket with a microwave, but some apps would be nice not sure if it's possible. If not something simple, chips and salads/guac, cheese board with crackers, idk. And some adult beverages which I think I read somewhere they were working on it. read more

I unexpectedly loved this place after tagging along with several friends to throw axes on a Saturday. Great customer service, and Chris is an awesome trainer and thrower; he makes the sport safe, approachable and fun. And, his skills and passion are incredible. Bullseye! Lots of versatility, laughs and games, and I even got better over the hour playing. Great team-building/family activity in a relaxed, cool atmosphere. Great t-shirts too! I'd go again and recommend it to others. Good for all ages and comfort levels. read more

My husband and I went to Virginia Axe Company for my birthday and we had a great time. We were the only folks there due to it being middle of the day so we got lots of throwing advice from Josh. We threw axes and throwing stars. Since it was my birthday I got to pop a balloon with a throwing star. Very cool. Only improvement I would suggest would be a different kind of music. Not sure what kind of music. It was but it sounded like bagpipes! I'm not in the corporate world any longer but this would be a great team building event. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting from MA for vacation. On the spur, we decided why not try axe throwing?! Let me just say, the manager, Chris, is a gem. If it weren't for him, axe throwing would have been fun, but not quite the experience we had. He spent so much time with us teaching about throwing, giving suggestions, and just being social! I would give this experience a 20/10. Truly life altering! We are considering looking into this when we go back to Massachusetts! It's a great outlet for stress and a decent workout. I would HIGHLY recommend! You will not regret it! read more

Stumpy's Hatchet House Richmond

(22 reviews)

Stony Point

Had a great time at Stumpys Hatchet House! They really prioritize safety here and I really…read moreappreciated the safety talk before getting walked to the back to throw some hatchets. The space is quite large with seating areas and the hatchet throwing bays. There were also other forms of entertainment including an air hockey table, checkers and the eye and hook game outside. I will say there was a learning curve to figuring out how to throw the hatchets properly but the attendant was nice enough to walk us through it and give us some tips. Once I got the hang of it, I had tons of fun. We had signed up for an hour and it went by very quickly. One cool part about this place is that they have fun games that you can play while throwing including a hatchet throwing blackjack where the first person to 21 points wins. Overall, this place is a great find and the hour goes by pretty quickly here! They do serve food so I can see this being a great spot for friends or a date night!

If you bring kids you have to do the course and zip line or the kids can't. But only one person at a time can go so does it really matter... my son (13 yrs old) had ran ahead and completed to courses before I even did one. They made him stop to wait for me. I appreciated that. But mid way I wanted to back out of the zip line they told me my son wouldn't be able to continue the courses if I did. Some of the staff were annoyed with basic questions like do you have a "trash can "or "do you have smaller gloves" (that are mandatory to wear) but the girl we had was amazing. She was great my son's leg had gotten stuck in a ring on one of the courses she climbed up stupid fast like a spider monkey to help him. But over all it was great and so much fun. It was a complete work out down the muscles in my fingers that I didn't even know we had. I also recommend getting the cell phone holder thing and the fingerless gloves

It was a perfect and memorable way to spend a rainy day with our soldier and give something new a try. Before you start, a staff member will walk you through the throwing technique for small, large, and one-handed axe throwing. Taylor explained everything clearly and effectively, and was encouraged us throughout our games. I felt safe with his instruction and observation. There are several mini-games you can play with your group, such as the traditional darts-style, zombie hunting, and candy crush. You get the lane for a whole hour and there is plenty of time to run through several games without ever getting bored.

They had several games that we played that allowed us to compete on teams. So much fun, we will be back!

There's a small selection of can drinks including alcoholic ones, tea, soda, water. I liked that they stock Sly Clyde's cider from Hampton. Not sure sharp objects and alcohol is the best idea but everyone seemed to be behaving responsibly. We were escorted to some bays that had two lanes next to each other and then separated by a fence before two more open lanes. We were given a safety brief at the lanes with people in two other lanes and some instructions on how to throw. Don't pass axes by hand, put them in the return box. Different styles of how to throw. Thankfully we had the full bay to ourselves since so one was in the open bay next to us. We played for 75 min which was a comfortable amount of time. They also have a knife throwing option which we didn't select. There's some seating available near the throwing area for non players. Each bay has a standing bar with two backless metal seats. I was able to throw comfortably with a walking boot on for a sprained ankle. I appreciated that since I didn't even think of that before reserving a space. I was nervous at first but managed to do ok with the over head two hand throw. The bay attendant didn't check on us after bringing our pretzel bites and so it didn't seem necessary to tip for service. We were able to get an additional score cards on the way to the snack area and that is where you close out your tab for your outing. The kiosk offers a tip option so maybe they share with the attendants. I talked with a friend who had been there previously and she said the booth attendant asked for a tip when she went and that was off putting. That wasn't our experience though. Overall we spent just over $100 for our date night. While there is snacky food available, it's not the type of place you are going for dinner and fun. Get a meal before or after somewhere else. The bay next to us had plans to go to Buffalo Wild Wings across the street.

They tend to get really busy in the evenings so go early or make sure to make a reservation. Jack, our guide, was helpful in technique and energy.

Snack, bar food like loaded tots, curly fries etcs. Canned beer, cocktails and wine available.

What we needed was a slightly more menacing and cathartic barroom outlet that makes the beer and the hard liquor go down that much easier. How about hurling the business end of an axe at an unsuspecting plywood target. After some basic safety instruction and expert pointers on technique it's time to let it rip. While I can't quite claim to be Jason Bourne or John Rambo going after a wild Boar, after about ten throws you can get the axe to stick consistently. This is good clean fun for the entire family, even the toddlers. Someone please get little Timmy a Modelo. Seriously, a solid five and many thanks to the great staff at Viking.

This was our first time throwing axes and we had a great time! It was easy to make an online reservation and find the location. Our axe coach (I think her name was Abby?) was very nice and fun to work with. She changed the projections for us a few times and we even threw stars! The location was very clean and they had both hand wipes and hand sanitizer at our table. It was just my husband and I, and after an hour I was a little tired. I think this would be perfect for 4 people. read more

Such an amazing experience. I went with my family during COVID, and it was amazing. Going during COVID was a little scary, but the company did such an amazing job dealing with it, they all kept their masks on and 99% of the time were 6 feet away from you. Staff was so so so nice and helpful. Many different types of games if you use the projector. You can use an ax, knife or ninja star. I would definitely recommend. read more

Awesome experience... Brought a team of 32 people in for a day of team building. Owners were extremely helpful, teaching us as we went and building in some competitive elements as well. Team had a blast, the facilities are really well maintained and easily accessible. Its a bit hard to see from the road, but plenty of parking. read more

Having never thrown, they did a great job teaching us to be safe and throw the axes. It was fun, with activities to change up how we played and competed as a family. A great place, worth the money for the time you get to play. Made for a Happy Father's Day for the whole family! read more
