Maniax Axe Throwing

Website: https://www.maniax.com.au/location/sydney-inner-west
Address: 9/11 Jabez St, Marrickville
Contact details: 1300 217 583
Operating hours:
- Monday – Thursday: 2:00 pm – 9:00 pm
- Friday and Saturday: 11:00 am – 9:00 pm
- Sunday: 11:00 am – 8:00 pm
Maniax is a highly-regarded axe-throwing venue with locations in Sydney Inner West, Melbourne, Newcastle, and lots of other places.
Sessions will always begin with a safety briefing, a bit of coaching from an experienced thrower, and some target practice. Afterwards, your group can set up a competition between members, or you can just continue throwing axes at targets!
Maniax works well for an unforgettable field trip day for school groups. For $25 per student, a group gets access to not only axes and targets, but an experienced coach to guide them on technique and targeting.
After an hour or more of slinging axes, you’ll likely be feeling a warrior’s hunger in your belly (I know I would). Fortunately, Maniax also serves an entire feast-hall of fare, including pizzas, nachos, craft beers, and modern meads.
You can even pre-order your food and drinks online if you want to.
Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes at the venue, and wear light clothing as the place does tend to get warm sometimes. Try to embrace the heat; the Vikings of old didn’t care if they got a little sweaty in the field. Besides, that’ll make the craft beer afterwards taste even better.

Kiss My Axe delivers some of the most light-hearted and fun axe throwing in Sydney, as well as Blacktown and Brookvale.
Packages for both small and large group packages are available — you can take your special someone on a unique date night for two, or bring an entire clan of up to 75 people (if you’d like to start building your own small army).
Kiss My Axe also works well for buck and hen parties (though hopefully you’ll never feel the need to hurl an axe at your future spouse).
Couples get a 1-hour session in a private lane with 2 targets, just in case you and your partner are the playfully competitive type.
Afterwards, you’ll get to bond further over a pizza and a drink each (your choice between alcoholic or not). The whole experience for a couple, including the food and drinks, is $139.
Take note that some of the packages are only available on certain days of the week. Also, you’ll need to wear enclosed shoes for your axe-throwing session.
