MANIAX axe throwing

MANIAX is Australia's first Urban Axe Throwing company, established in 2014 in Sydney NSW. We are also the largest in Australia, with venues in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Canberra and Adelaide. We’ve had close to 750,000 people through our doors across Australia, equating to approximately 40 million axes thrown! That’s with no significant axe-idents beyond a splinter.

maniax journey

the maniax history

January 2014
It started with beers, a bunch of different types of axes, mates and some knocked up axe targets in a backyard in Coogee. At the time, we were surrounded by apartments and while everyone loved having a throw, our neighbours were ready for us to move to a more permanent location!
Early 2015
We went searching for a warehouse iin the inner west of Sydney and luckily found a landlord who shared the passion for taking risks and having a go. MANIAX was born and our St Peters site was to become Australia’s first axe throwing venue!
June 2015
SYDNEY OPENS! When we opened, Some of the locals were up in arms. They hustled the media, the council, which made our debut extremely difficult.

It turned out the battle was all a blessing in disguise - the media loved it! We ended up all over the news, in the local newspapers, national TV, Radio, social media. The rest is history with our Sydney venue becoming very successful and most of the naysayers even stopping by to throw axes and have the time of their life.

“I still remember the conversation vividly when I was sitting in the back of a car heading out for some beers with some friends in Canada. There were these crazy Canucks throwing axes for fun in a warehouse in the outskirts of Toronto.”

Adam, Co-founder and Director of MANIAX

Early 2016
Following the success of St Peters, we decided to head south and open up in Abbotsford, Melbourne. With a bit more room to move and after feedback from our passionate community - we opened the first single-target axe-throwing lanes, perfect for a “Quick Chuck” with mates or a date night with a difference.
