If you’re looking for a fun, energetic, and even competitive date night idea, check out Axe Throwing at Axetreme Sports Cleveland, in Willoughby on Vine Street. It’s located at 36495 Vine Street, #J, in Freeway Plaza.
We went last weekend, my husband and I, with another couple for a fun night out to celebrate my birthday. None of us have ever tried axe throwing, but we quickly learned with the guidance and knowledge from owner Alan Thompson. Alan was our facilitator for the 1.5-hour session, and taught all about the different ways to throw, how to place your feet, and even how to remove the axes from the board.

After a few practice throws, Alan explained some games and our friendly competition began! This is the perfect activity for couples, small groups, girls/guys night out, or even team building. The facilitator explains each game and keeps score so there is no pressure to keep track of your points. At the end of your session you’ll get a chance to rack up points, if you get 40 or above, you get to sign the Wall of Fame!

As for covid safety, the door handles were being cleaned as we entered, there was one other group that was finishing as we started and everyone wore masks. It was a great evening out, which has not happened much in the past year!
My group was hosted by Axetreme Sports Cleveland. All opinions are my own.
