There sure is! We require throwers to be aged 11 years or over for all MANIAX venues. Participants aged 11-17 will require a responsible adult onsite for the duration of their visit, in addition to a waiver signed by their parent or guardian.
We require one responsible adult on site for every 15 minors in their care.
So you want to cut right to the chase, huh? We like that. All of our pricing can be found HERE. Sessions lengths vary depending on which of our package deals you choose but will typically be between 1-2 hours.
We recommend you pre-book your session ahead of time to avoid disappointment. But if you're feeling spontaneous, we can typically accommodate walk-ins at all of our locations.
Nope! You can sling some steel all by yourself, or bring a group of all your favourite people. We have packages to accommodate groups of all sizes.
Struggling to get together with a group of 7? No worries! You can book a group package and attend with fewer than 7 people - you’ll just need to pay for 7. Consider this more of a lane hire fee than a per person charge. You're welcome to contact our team for more information.
Anything is possible! If you’d like to chat to us about a specific time you'd like to hurl hatchets, please reach out to us by calling 1300 217 583. We’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Our session running times have been designed to optimise your experience, but your session time is yours. If you need to leave early or arrive later than your scheduled arrival time, please let us know in advance so that we’re best able to meet your needs. Please be aware that we’re unable to accommodate price cuts to facilitate shorter sessions.
Your session will always begin with a safety briefing and some one-on-one coaching from our AXE-perts coaches. You'll get the chance to learn how to throw our 3 different axes, and play a few competitive rounds with your mates.
All sessions are supervised by our crew, who are on hand to help you every step of the way.
We get that things can sometimes change. If you have booked a group package, provided that your fluctuating number of final participants falls within your lane bracket, you can let us know on the day. If your numbers fall outside of the bracket that you’ve booked, as shown below, please check our policy here.
1 lane: 7-15 participants
2 lanes: 16-30 participants
3 lanes: 31-45 participants
4 lanes: 46-60 participants
5 lanes: 61-75 participants
6 lanes: 75-90 participants
Please note - Full payment is required 5 days prior for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Group Packages. Full payment is required 14 days prior for Diamond Group Packages.
Yes! Our AXE-pert coaches will teach you how to throw, offering tips and guidance to help you hone your new skills throughout your session. You’ll be hitting bullseyes in no time!
You betcha! Axe throwing is all about technique and accuracy - strength has very little to do with it! We offer a range of axes in a variety of sizes and weights, so you’re sure to find one that’s the perfect fit for you.
The minimum age for hurling hatchets is 11.
Opening hours vary between each venue. To find your venue's opening hours, head to our Locations Page.

Got a Gift Voucher to redeem? AXE-cellent.
Book through the website and enter your voucher number at the payment screen. Easy as, right?
If after payment, you still have a residual balance - don't worry! The balance will be saved and can be used for future bookings using the same voucher code! Got multiple vouchers to use? GREAT - Put in the first voucher details, apply payment, then enter the second, third, etc. Any problems, call us on 1300 217 583 and one of the team will be happy to assist you.
We’d really encourage you to ensure that all of your group arrives approximately 10 minutes before your session is due to commence. If you’ve got a mate that’s always late, maybe be a little cheeky and tell them to get there 15 minutes before.
Late arrivals can be accommodated, but please note that this will cut into your throwing time! Your coach will need to stop the group and run through the safety and introduction all over again with the latecomer.
Absolutely! As long as someone is constantly supervising the pet, you’re more than welcome to bring them along!

Sure! Throwing is reserved for those aged 11 and over, but you’re welcome to bring along little ones as your cheer squad.
Please be aware that we’re a really loud, edgy venue, and that our spaces weren’t designed with kids in mind. Our guests can get super excited about releasing their inner Vikings, so there is often cheering, yelling and the occasional swear word onsite.

Of course! You do not need to include spectators in your booking numbers. Just shoot us an email with your booking reference number so we can make sure we are keeping within the venue occupancy limits.
We recommend a consultation with your doctor prior to booking, but you are absolutely welcome to come on in and hurl hatchets with us.
Our regular axes weigh about 1.3kg and are made of raw steel. Most people don’t consider the axe to be very heavy. You may throw the axe with 1 hand or 2 hands, whichever feels most comfortable for you. Our coaches will help you find the technique that works best for you.
