Our family came here for our daughter's 25th birthday. We had a blast. The service was great. Explained all safety rules and methods of throwing axes. Even offered to take our group photo. We were there on a Saturday afternoon, almost had the place to ourselves which was nice. Looking forward to going back.

5 Stars – Perfect Date Night Spot! We had such a blast at Appleton Axe for date night! The vibe is awesome—laid-back yet lively, with a cool industrial feel and great lighting. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and knew how everything worked. The axe-throwing lanes were well set up and a ton of fun. It’s the perfect mix of competition and laughs, and the interactive digital targets add a fun twist to the experience. Whether you’re out with friends or looking for something unique for date night, Appleton Axe is a win. Can’t wait to come back!

Booked the escape room and two axe throwing lanes for a small birthday party. Super fun, great staff, and good memories! The escape room was more challenging than we expected, but it made it more fun. Axe throwing was super fun too!! The multiple games and settings to choose from were a great option. They also have an area with lots of games to play while waiting or even for after your booked axe throwing or escape room time is up. We had a great time! The only downfall about this place is that they don't serve food... but they still deserve five stars! (and Little Ceasars was next door so we catered in pizza and it worked out nicely!) Thanks for the fun time, Appleton Axe!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Appleton Axe doing their "Heist" escape room! From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed — we even got to meet the owner, who was incredibly friendly and great to chat with. The "Heist" room was clever, challenging, and so much fun to work through. A huge shoutout to Emily, our game master, who was fantastic — super helpful, encouraging, and made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a fun and memorable adventure, I highly recommend checking out Appleton Axe!

A small group of us went for the first time yesterday and it was so much fun! The place has a great vibe and aesthetic. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

We've been several times now and it's so much fun! The staff has always been amazing. They have gluten-free drinks available in addition to a variety of beer selections. You can order Stucs and have it delivered. We went with our adult children and have gone several times with friends. It makes for a great date night, family fun, or fun with friends. At first, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to hit the target, but they teach you, and it's pretty easy to figure out through trial and error what works for you. We also love playing Hammerschlagen. Try it!!!

This place is awesome. Come on down for some extra, throwing shuffleboard or a variety of other games while you’re hanging out. Very reasonably priced and a great time!

One of the best date nights ever! Staff was so friendly. They even offered to take a photo of us at the end! So sweet. Great bar selection, nice variations of games. Enjoyed the other games like jumbo jenga and others after. A lot more fun packed into that building than just axe throwing! We will happily be back.
