Why Axe Throwing at MANIAX is the Ultimate School Excursion

Looking for a school excursion that combines fun, teamwork and skill development? Welcome to MANIAX Axe Throwing, Australia’s original and largest urban axe throwing company. With 11 locations across VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD and WA, MANIAX is fast becoming one of the most exciting and memorable destinations for school excursions nationwide.

Here’s why teachers and schools are choosing MANIAX for their next student activity.

‍

A School Excursion Students Will Never Forget

Let’s be honest – not all school excursions leave a lasting impression. But axe throwing? That’s something students will be talking about for the rest of the year!

Each MANIAX school session is hosted by a trained coach, ensuring students learn the skill and precision of axe throwing in a safe, structured, and fully supervised environment. From the moment they step into the venue, students are immersed in a hands-on experience that balances focus, technique, and a whole lot of fun.

‍

Skill-Building With Every Throw

MANIAX isn’t just about throwing axes (though, that’s the best part). It’s also about building:

• Discipline and focus
• Coordination and motor skills
• Communication and leadership
• Confidence and self-control

Our sessions include a safety briefing, coaching in proper technique, and a mini tournament where students compete in teams, promoting teamwork and healthy competition.
