Terrible experience!! We have been here many times before & always had a great time until yesterday. We had a party of 5 for my mothers birthday & Gabe was our Axe Master, he went over the rules & then explained that we would be keeping our own score on the tablet as he walked away to "attend to another party".. it was after 6pm and the place was slow, everyone had already been checked in and in their designated areas, he instead went to hangout at the front desk area with another buddy/employee. When my husband went up to the bar to get his 2nd beer the bartender wouldn't serve him. Mind you he had 1 beer prior to this & was given no reasoning by the bartender who was freshly 21 with very little experience. When asked to speak with the manager she only gave us attitude. We have many friends and family in the service industry & have never seen anything like this. Poor work ethic by the staff whom all appeared to be very young adults with no management around to overlook employees or customers. I hope no one else has to experience this, we will not be back & will be bringing our business elsewhere!

MUCH BETTER OPTIONS for Axe throwing. This place is kind of a waste of time and money. The main issue is that their format robs you of casual, relaxed fun. They force you to have some kid babysit you the entire time, constantly interjecting his lame sexual innuendo jokes they must have in a training book somewhere because they were pretty weak and predictable. Also, with this babysitter, it completely slows down the pace of play. I think we maybe only got a few rounds of actual throwing in because this kid staff member made us do these official scoring games. We didn't come here to join the professional axe league, we just want to throw and hang out with our friends. Additionally, because we were a walk-in, they forced us to play with another group... again, slowing down the pace of play, forcing us to compete in the scoring with the other group. I'm sure they were lovely people, but that's not what we were looking for. Then when one person from the other group cut their hand on the blade we had to sit around and wait for 20 minutes until they figured out how to deal with this... The entire time there were 7 other completely open and usable lanes we could've used. There was no reason we needed to be paired up. For the price of the lanes and the overall experience... it was a waste. I could see having the chaperone / part-time-comedian emcee could be fun on a corporate team-building activity, but for a couple of friends just wanting a relaxed evening... this was a bust. My advice, get over yourselves, let people have the kind of experience they want. And save the 1990s comedy and jokes for the Mall of America. We'll be choosing other axe throwing options going forward.

Our first but definitely not our last visit! Axe Master John taught us well and fit in right in with our group. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun and brings out the competitive side along with laughter! Check it out as soon as you can.

My wife and I had a such a great time at MN Axe with Axe Master John. We had a weekend away from our young kids and this was definitely a highlight. Great service from start to finish and the opportunity to learn something new together. Would recommend 100 out of 100 times. We will be signing up for their leagues in the future.

The first time our family tried axe throwing was with instructor, Smoky. My husband and I brought the girls out for a special something to do night and we were EXTREMELY impressed with our instructor. Our girls were a little on the nervous side and with Smokys help they became very comfortable and did a great job. I HIGHLY recommend this location. EVERYONE here is very knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, here to make your experience memorable.

Staff is friendly and fun and we have been there 3 times now and haven't been disappointed yet! This last time we had Tom and he was great! If you haven't been axe throwing, I would absolutely recommend this place.

It was very organized and very informative. I went on my son's bachelor party destination. We had a great time. I really enjoyed learning and developing the skill of are throwing. John answered all of of our questions while Lindsay kept us on "edge" with her quick wit and sense of humor! The price was very reasonable and safety was strictly enforced. It is one of the better ax throwing places I have visited. The drinks and pizza were enjoyed by the party

The Monticello location was AWESOME! We were there for a Christmas party last weekend. The guys in charge of the party were all so fun and full of energy. You could tell they really loved being there and hanging out with the customers. Our “axe master” John was the best! Super personable and really showed us newbies how to do it! Now my husband is hooked! We will be back and requesting John!

My daughter and son in law brought me here for my birthday! My idea to try this, my daughter thought I was crazy but we all had such a great time! We had a group of 5 so not real big but just right for the first time. Our axe master was awesome. He took the time with each one of us to show us how to hold the axe and throw. Everyone there was helpful and so friendly. We will definitely be there again! Thank you for a great birthday celebration.

We have been here twice and both times we were impressed! It’s super helpful to have the axe masters with you the whole time! Shout out to John for showing us how it’s done! Would definitely recommend MN Axe!

This is located in the imagine movie theater when you entered take a right. The space is really cute. They have awesome music and very helpful guides working. Each bay gets an axe master who is there the entire time for safety and instruction he will also keep score. We did not have any food, but it looked good. Overall, it was a bit expensive since we were there 2 hours however given the hands on guidance it was worth it.
