We had a lot of fun doing the axe throwing! Luis our coach created a great atmosphere by cheering and making jokes. We booked the "Whistlepunk" package and learned to... read more throw the axes in different ways, even trickshots or two axes at once, and also did a little competition. We never did axe throwing before, so it was a completely new experience to us and we liked it a lot. In a way it's quite simple and yet very exciting.

I tried for the first time axe throwing at Axtra and if was a very good experience! the sport itself is a lot of fun and accessible for everyone, and... read more Ian was very friendly, clear in the explanations and encouraging and teached us not only the basic forms but some trick shots too! We'll definitely come back 🙂
I totally recommend it!

It sounded fun, throwing axes but maybe a little old to be throwing axes for fun? After having received very clear and encouraging advice from Ian, I felt ready and... read more determined and to my great surprise I actually managed to throw the axe and hit the target. Great fun and great experience! Next time will join the competition!

What is included in a session?

We then show two different types of throws, a few games depending on how many players there are and how they are performing and finish off with some trick shots if there is time. The two hour session is only available for groups bigger than 25 players.

We are 1 or 2 more players than I originally booked for, what do I do?
1 or 2 additional players is not a problem (more players = more Axe-citing ;D) We can easily adjust as long as you let us know in advance. The best way to do this is to email us, info@axtrazh.ch with the increase in the number of players and we will book you in!
Â
What do I need to bring?
CLOSED TOED SHOES! This is our only requirement. Also a shirt that fits loosely is a good idea as you will be moving your arms a lot. Last but not least, game face!
Â
Can I just come by whenever to throw?
We are only open for service when you have reserved on our website so we do not time for walk ins. Our bookings are open everyday from 12:00 – 21:00 If you book, we’ll be there!
Â
What’s the best way to get to you?
You can take the 14 tram to Salerstige, from there it’s a two-minute walk. Or you can take the train to Oerlikon train station and it’s a chill 10-minute walk. WE DO NOT HAVE PARKING BECAUSE THIS IS ZÜRICH. We are located on the right side of Schintzlehaus.
Â
What if I want to book outside of your opening hours/ the slot I want isn’t avaible anymore?
We always try to be as flexible as possible with our customers. If you have a group booking or speical request, please write us here, info@axtrazh.ch
Â
Sweet, can we come to throw axes drunk?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! We take safety very seriously at Axtra. If you plan on drinking you can do it after the session. We reserve the right to refuse anyone service who is under the influence or suspected to be or any sort of drug or alcohol. No exceptions.
Â
Who is axe throwing for?
Everyone! You just need to have the strength to throw an axe. We do have one exception to this rule is that our space is not wheelchair accessible. Our next space will be, promise!
Â
Are kids allowed?
Children ages 12 and up are allowed and must have a guardian present (must be older than 18). Please note we do not have the facilities for babysitting so we cannot allow unattended children into the space.
Â
Can I bring my dog?
We love dogs and have them in the space often. However, they must be well behaved. Excessive barking makes it hard to give good instructions.Â
