This place was a lot of fun. Pretty basic set up; no food or drinks. The staff member, Brandon, was very knowledgable and friendly, and provided us with the safety overview and some basic training and techniques. Overall we had a fun time.
We had a great time at Axeplosion. Our instructor was very helpful and worked with us and other groups to ensure we had fun. We also enjoyed the music playing during our session. It helped motivate us and set a good atmosphere. While it is a basic setup, I think it helps keep focus and fun on the event rather then worrying about extra like food and drink. I highly recommend Axeplosion in Orland!
My boyfriend and I had a real fun time! We booked the 90 minute session. The training was easy, anyone could do it! The only thing is we wish we could've bought a water while we were there.
We had a lot of fun being together but there was no place to sit and we were on top of the throwers. I suggest that you ask to reserve the back room which looked like it was bigger. There were no drinks as promised on the website. I’m not sure I can recommend even though we had fun.
I took my wife for her birthday and we really had fun. Brandon was the employee there and he was witty, professional, and very knowledgeable of his craft working there. We are definitely going back again. Truly a fun experience.
My group had an amazing time! We purchased a Groupon and had no issues (I am usually skeptical about Groupon bc as a business owner myself, I've had a bad experience with them not implementing the terms and conditions for my business. Most patrons don't understand that and will bad mouth the business when it isn't the businesses fault. If you buy a Groupon, still contact the business to make sure that it is accurate). Our instructor, Brandon, was super cool, personable and professional!
The negative feedback that I have is about the lack of signage that can be seen from the street. Most of the group kept bypassing the place. LaGrange is a super busy street, so being able to slow down to a crawl to look at an address is almost impossible. It is located in a mini strip mall next to Grand's Appliance. The interior needs some attention in design and decor- it is drab and doesn't look well maintained. My group was in the back room near the bathroom. The other groups were disrupting our throwing when they needed to use the bathroom as there is no other route to get there. Otherwise, for all intents and purposes, a good time was had.
I really liked the location because it was small and easy to find. When I went online to book the time slot, it was really easy and then signing the waiver online before even getting there was great too because it doesn't waste any time one we arrived. The links are easy to navigate. Once we were there it was easy to get the tips and rules for throwing from the instructor and he was really chill. They played fun music and you just had a good time. I think an hour is perfect for a couple people, but if you want a section with a few people like 4 or so, then go for the hour and a half slot.
This place is strictly for practicing axe throwing. Nothing else to do here. No food or drink available and not a large space. Price is fair if you know what to expect.
