Got an axe to grind with your partner? There is a way to take out your aggression without anybody getting hurt.
Rage Axe, a recently opened facility in a suburb of Darmstadt, offers patrons the chance to hurl axes and knives at targets painted on wooden discs. A controlled environment under constant supervision ensures all guests leave with their limbs and digits intact.
According to the Rage Axe website, the inspiration to build this unusual type of leisure facility came about when its owner-to-be stumbled across a similar place during a trip to the USA back in December of 2018. After failing to find anything of its sort upon his return, he decided to bring the up-and-coming recreational activity to his homeland. Today, Rage Axe is Germany’s largest center of its kind.
In addition to axe and knife throwing, Rage Axe offers the chance to hone one’s archery skills.
Those concerned they could spend their entire sessions without once managing to sink their tomahawk-like projectiles into the wooden discs need not worry, as a money-back guarantee applies to anyone who fails to hit the target at least once.
A total of 16 lanes ensures numerous guests can be accommodated simultaneously, and a snack bar keeps them hydrated and happy. Private parties, team building events or other occasions can be booked upon request.
Online reviews praise the facility highly for the friendliness and competence of its staff and the safety measures in place. Several reviewers have also mentioned that they found its COVID-19 control protocols reassuring.
Visitors can rent out lanes for up to three persons at a time at a cost of 16 euros per person for the axe throwing experience only. The cost of a 90-minute session of both axe and knife throwing is 24 euros per head, while two hours of such fun goes for 32 euros.
Children under the age of 12, understandably, are not allowed to take part in the cutting-edge fun. Those participating in the archery experience must be at least eight years of age.
Reservations are essential and can be made online in advance. The address for your GPS is Brunnenweg 13, 64331 Weiterstadt, Germany. The www.rageaxe.de website provides comprehensive information in English.
