    Awesome axe throwing!
    What a unique experience! I was apprehensive before going but was very quickly put at ease by the high level of safety for all - instructors, participants and spectators. Our facilitator, Britt, was brilliant. Her instructions were clear and she gave tips for us to improve our throws during the session. Her humour, positivity and encouragement ensured that we all had a fun time as she took our group through a “tournament”. Anyone looking for a different, fun evening out should definitely consider axe throwing. Best to go in a group and wear closed shoes!
    We love seeing reviews like this, the prospect of throwing axes can be scary and most people have no idea what to expect. Our favourite thing about axe-perting is getting people to feel comfortable and confident. We loved having you in for a throw, hope to see you again soon, thanks for this incredible review!

    League nights
    We signed up to the 8 week league after an amazing fun work event. I’m now on league number 2 and I’m hooked. It’s a bunch of such friendly people who are always pleased to see you walk through the door. Such a warm atmosphere with no judgement. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Great night out
    This was an absolutely great family outing. Everyone from 16 to 73 participated. Full axe throwing and safety instructions were given beforehand and maintained throughout. It was really good fun, every one is still talking about it today and some vowing to go back. Thanks Alistair, you made it even more of a success. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try something different.

    Great fun!
    Having never tried axe throwing before we though we’d give it a go and we had an awesome time. The hour flew by, we learnt a few different techniques and played games which suited our competitive nature. Alistair was great too. Highly recommend :)

    Best activity ever
    Came in on their opening day and have never had so much fun! Throwing axes is better than paintball any day of the week.c and I’ve been going in every week since and won’t be stopping any time soon. Get in here and give it a go ASAP! And the dog that lives there is adorable😍

    An awesome family outing!
    Our family visited Sweet Axe Throwing Co. in Auckland yesterday. We had a blast! The whole experience from start to finish was well run and loads of fun. Amy was our instructor and she gave us heaps of tips and had all of us (mum, dad and almost 13 year old) hitting the board most times with our chosen axe and style! Thanks again Amy for an amazing time. We definitely will be back for more....and will bring others!

    Worth every cent and more
    What an amazing experience. Found this activity online and thought it was something different to try as a family. Turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Auckland. Our axe-pert Britt really made this a fun time. We all managed to score at least one bullseye. I had a leg injury on top of my ms yet Britt used various strategies and techniques to ensure I was able to join in the excitement. Would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. Absolutely loved our time with Britt and sweet axe throwing company. Only down side was the hour lane rental went by so fast.

    Brilliant fun
    Brilliant fun with teens. Our host George made the hour we were there a lot of fun. Great banter and good insights and we were all throwing like pros by the end of our time. Highly recommend as a fun activity.

We did a 1 hour session as a group of 4 and we had such a good time! Our teacher Lloyd was very professional but also good fun, he match our energy really well and was very helpful to the weakest of the group... Me.
The experience was really safe and is definitely about technique as opposed to strength.

I have taken both a corporate group and my family (12 yrs to 50 yrs) to Sweet Axe Throwing Auckland. I can highly recommend this as an activity. It is safe, fun and surprisingly zen. I though our last expert was brilliant, however Amy took it up to the next level. I really enjoyed our group with her. Do it! You will love it.

We visited Auckland for the first time from California. My wife saw this on “things to do in Auckland “ and decided to give it a try, which turned out to be a great idea. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and Bede did an outstanding job. We would definitely recommend this for something different to try.
