    I've been here twice... once for a bachelor party to kick off the weekend and another time a few years later while on a family vacation. Each time was a great experience.... The second time in particular was very fun seeing the whole family including my 8yo son Join in and have a good time. Mark of Yosemite Axe explained everything we needed to know. There's a small bar for some beer while you're hanging out and good music playing. We enjoyed our hour of throwing axes. I recommend this place.

    Went here for my brothers bachelor party. Right when we walked in we were greeted with a smile. Really cool spot chill vibes . The gentlemen explained the rules thoroughly and made sure we understood also helped with choosing and how to throw axes.. we had so much fun we will definitely be going back when in big bear!! A must go

    Super fun date night! Hubby and I have wanted to try axe throwing for a while. Mark gave us some great tips! I can see how this would be super fun for a group/party too!

    Fun activity with the family. During weekend in Big Bear I had entered a silent auction at the Elks club and got the winning bid for Yosemite Axe. There were 6 of that went on Sun early eve, we were the only ones there, so got full attention and service. We had a brief intro and demo on how to throw and score. It's $30/hr. pp or $25/hr. pp if you have at least 6 ppl. Good music and fun lumberjack decor, definitely recommend for a fun indoor activity while visiting Big Bear.

    Multiple options for axes available different in material and weight

    For my first time axe throwing I was so excited to try out Yosemite Axe inside Big Bear! To keep yourself warm and out of the cold, enjoy a full hour ($30) of throwing and shoulder toning If you're a first timer like me, ask for some tips and tricks from staff. I found it easiest to really follow through on your throw and not let go too late. For 2 on a Saturday evening (4pm) there was almost a full house! If you have a bigger group (6+) playing, there's a $5 discount--$25 per person. The service here is amazing and faculty is really nice! The phone number listed on their website is reliable and their website is easy to navigate to book a reservation. It is recommended to book online to reserve your hour. Check-in and write a review for a free sticker and enjoy axe throwing! Channel your inner lumberjack

    We were on vacation in big bear and saw this spot as we drove through town. We came in and wow!!!! Our party of 6 got three bays and had the best of times. The worker walked us through the safety protocols and let us go at it. He checked on us and gave us some pointers. Even let us take a pic with some awesome axe's. Def a place to stop by if you're in town. Super affordable. All the kids had a blast.

    Highly recommend! Throwing axes at real tree stumps is so much nicer than wooden boards. Super nice on a weekday! Brought our two teenage sons and learned how to keep score. A little family competition. It's over all amazing.

    Let's throw some sharp tools!

    My boyfriend and I had a great time tonight trying to throw some axes. I called around 7:30 hoping for an open spot and they had a slot available at 8pm so we grabbed it! A short walk from where we were staying at the Wolf Creek Lodge. Come in for a great reasonably priced nighttime activity when you are pretty tired from skiing! $30 a person for a $60 total was not a bad vacation activity cost for two for one hour and your arm is tired, an hour is plenty of time. The vibe was relaxed but really fun, they had one of those Punch machine games and some of the groups were having fun with that too! Jeff, the staff member working gave a wonderful demo and took photos of all the groups with these super fun trophy axes for the memory. Even though we were only a group of two we had a great time throwing the hatchets. The experience is definitely worth it if you are looking for something to do after a day on the mountain.

    So much fun at axe throwing! Our first time and the employee was so kind and welcoming. We had so much fun. Can't wait to try it again, we'll be back for sure! Thank you! Highly recommend!

    Great for apres ski!

    Great time! We had a group of 7, booked it on their website same day (early season) Charge is per person and by time like bowling. Super nice guy helped us understand how to play and how to keep safe. No injuries except to the boys egos when the girls beat them several times. I had never been axe throwing. I was honestly thinking it would be silly but it was actually fun for all! Our group was adults 17, 18, 19, 23, 40, 52. Everyone approved! Snacks available for purchase

    This is a nice place for either a rage room or an escape room…read more A few weeks ago, I did a rage room experience here, which was my first time doing a rage room. Marc, the owner, was very nice and kind. He even allowed me to do a special request where I wore an outfit (which is a Morpshuit with t-shirt and shorts) underneath the gear used for the rage room. Very kind of him to accommodate this. I have never done a rage room before, so it was a unique experience. Shattering glass, and breaking things felt very liberating and it helped me release tension/anger. Additionally, at the very end, there was even another surprise where Marc even taught me how to throw ninja stars on the wooden board. It was super cool. At first, I couldn't get any ninja stars to stick, but on one of my final attempts, I actually did get the ninja star to stick, which was awesome!! I was pretty elated that I was able to do that! Anyways, shout out to Marc the owner for being very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cool, friendly place to do a rage room or an escape room. I should check out their escape rooms some time soon.

    Overall a positive experience with a couple of cons:…read more - When we arrived, there wasn't any clear instructions of where/what we should do as there is no front desk. Also took a while before someone came out to help (I think they were in the back assisting maybe another customer?) but some signage would help. - Waivers could be sent prior to arrival to save on time since it was a google form - staff could be more welcoming and better at explaining. I understand it may be sketchy to go to a customer's car to evaluate items brought from home since it could be a risk to the staff, but I think it could either be instructed earlier before arrival OR simply just state that you cannot leave the business. The delivery of the comment made by the staff was not very smooth (almost felt like implying we were bringing something bad or wrong). - A timer inside the room might be helpful as it's hard to keep track of time once you're destroying things. - Phone "mount" could be better secured with a clasp or something because one bump and our phone fell on the ground where there's shards and scraps everywhere. This could have easily scratched the phone. - Room felt cramped, but understand that may be limited by the size of the store space. - Half of the group was arriving late, in which I shared upfront and thought that the staff would assist in getting them as ready as possible before our first group came out to swap, but when I came out, I saw that they had not even begun to change. I understand the face shield and gloves are limited quantities, but they could have started fitting in the other items like jumpsuit and face coverings. - Also as we were swapping, I ended up giving the second group the instructions when it really should have been the staff to give them the run through. It felt very disorganized during the swapping. For the price, I think it would be nice if each group received at least one larger item and not just cups, plates, and glass. All-in-all, it was fun to let out some rage by wrecking things and not having to clean it up. My friends and I did enjoy this different experience. Also fun to watch them from the room cam inside the Axe Room as they rage.
