There sure is! We require throwers to be aged 11 years or over for all MANIAX venues.
Participants aged 11-17 will require a responsible adult onsite for the duration of their visit, in addition to a waiver signed by their parent or guardian. We require one responsible adult onsite for every 15 minors in their care.
Little ones are welcome to come along and watch all the action take place - we often find that they make the best cheer squad!.
So you want to cut right to the chase, huh? We like that.
All of our pricing can be found HERE. Sessions lengths vary depending on which of our package deals you choose but will typically be between 1-2 hours.
Quick Chuck Sessions have set start times and these vary by venue - please click here to find your local venues opening hours.
Quick Chucks: Nope - You can come all on your lonesome if you fancy it!
Date Night: As the name suggests this one's for two people
Private Sessions: Minimum group size for private sessions and our food and beverage package deals (Urban Viking, Medieval Munchies, Boards & Burgers, Great Feast) is 6 people
Struggling to get together a group of 6? No worries - you can book a private session and attend with fewer than 6 people - you’ll just need to pay for 6. Consider this more of a double lane hire fee than a per person charge. You're welcome to contact our team
Private Sessions are offered for groups of 6+. When you book a Private Session, you’re booking a lane for the exclusive hire of your group, plus an Axe Throwing Coach (Axe-pert) to show you the ropes and keep the competition fair for the entire two hour experience.You’ll be allocated 1 double target lane and 1 Axe-pert Host for every 15 throwers in your group if you have a group of 16+.
Unfortunately, this is rarely possible. Axe Throwing has become very popular, and our session commencement times are designed to accommodate the maximum possible number of groups in any given day.
However, if you’d like to chat to us about your specific circumstances (and you’re able to come in early in the week), please reach out to us on enquiries@maniax.com.au. We’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
Our session running times have been designed to optimise your experience, but your session time is yours. If you need to leave early or arrive later than your scheduled arrival time, please let us know in advance so that we’re best able to meet your needs. Please be aware that we’re unable to accommodate price cuts to facilitate shorter sessions.
Your session will always begin with a safety briefing and some one-on-one coaching from our AXEperts coahces. and time for some target practice before we launch into an epic tournament to crown the Axe Throwing Champion. If your group isn’t down with all of that competitive energy, let us know so that we can tailor your session to include more short format, novelty games. All sessions are supervised by our crew who are on hand to help you every step of the way.
We get that things can sometimes change. If you have booked a PRIVATE SESSION, provided that your fluctuating number of final guests falls within your lane bracket, you can let us know on the day. If your numbers fall outside of the bracket that you’ve booked, as shown below, please check our policy here.
6-15 people = 1 lane (your minimum required payment on the day is 6 people, your maximum cap for people is 15)
16-30 people = 2 lanes (your minimum required payment on the day is 16 people, your maximum cap is for 30 people
31-45 people = 3 lanes (your minimum required payment on the day is 31 people, your maximum cap is for 45 people)
46-60 people = 4 lanes (your minimum required payment on the day is 46 people, your maximum cap is for 60 people)
61-75 people = 5 lanes (your minimum required payment on the day is 61 people, your maximum cap is for 75 people)

It's important to us that everyone has a great time at MANIAX. You must always abide by the below rules when you're on site.
We sure do! These can be purchased here.
Got a Gift Voucher to redeem? Axe-cellent.
Book through the website and enter your voucher number at the payment screen. Easy as, right?
If after payment, you still have a residual balance - don't worry! The balance will be saved and can be used for future bookings using the same voucher code!
Got multiple vouchers to use? GREAT - Put in the first voucher details, apply payment, then enter the second, third, etc
Any problems sling us an email at supportcrew@maniax.com.au and one of the team will be happy to axe-cist you.
Safety is a big thing @ MANIAX and while we're all for personal freedom of choice - to keep both you and our staff safe we'll be following government guidance regarding venue capacity, social distancing and vaccine requirements of entry.
These restrictions may vary by location so please make sure to check the current and relevant local government restrictions before making a booking or visiting us as we'd hate for you to rock up and not be able to join the party.
We’d really encourage you to ensure that all of your group arrives approximately 10 minutes before your session is due to commence. If you’ve got a mate that’s always late, maybe be a little cheeky and tell them to get there 15 minutes before.
Late arrivals can be accommodated, but please note that this will cut into your throwing time! Your coach will need to stop the group and run through the safety and introduction all over again with the latecomer.
Unfortunately, we don’t have air conditioning in our warehouses. We do run fans in summer, but it can get hot. We recommend coming in some cool clothes, embracing the sweaty nature of axe throwing and cooling down with an icy cold beer after your session.
Absolutely! As long as someone is constantly supervising the pet, you’re more than welcome to bring them along!
Brisbane & Adelaide:
Our Brisbane and Adelaide venues both serve oozy, cheesy, piping hot pizzas fresh from the onsite kitchen. We also have meat and cheese platters available if you’re after something a little less substantial, or snacks like chips, confectionery and ice cream available if you just need a quick fix.
If pizzas don’t float your boat, our freaking amazing catering partners are also able to source burgers, slow roasted meats - whatever your heart desires - but you’ll need to organise this with us at least a week in advance. Reach out to us on enquiries@maniax.com.au to chat about your options.
Sydney, Melbourne & Perth:
There are no onsite kitchens in these venues, but our freaking amazing catering partners are able to source pizzas, burgers, slow roasted meats - whatever your heart desires to keep that axe throwing appetite at bay. You’ll need to organise this with us at least a week in advance. You can view the catered package options in your city by clicking on the “AXE THROWING” tab at the top of the website.
We have chocolate, snacks and packets of chips available for purchase at the venue if you find that hunger strikes suddenly, or you’re looking for something to tide you over.

For Axe Throwing Sessions - No, council restrictions prohibit us from allowing you to bring your own axe. We’ll supply all the axes you’ll need! We’ve thrown an axe or two in our time, and we’ve found the best possible axes for beginner hatchet hurlers.

Sure! Throwing is reserved for those aged 11 and over, but you’re welcome to bring along little ones as your cheer squad.
Please be aware that we’re a really loud, edgy venue, and that our spaces weren’t designed with kids in mind. Our guests can get super excited about releasing their inner viking, so there is often cheering, yelling and the occasional swear word onsite.
Kids are required to be supervised at all times.
Of course! You do not need to include spectators in your booking numbers. Just shoot us an email with your booking reference number so we can make sure we are keeping within the venue occupancy limits.
We recommend a consultation with your doctor prior to booking, but you are absolutely welcome to come on in and hurl hatchets with us.
Our regular competition axes weigh about 1.3kg and are made of raw steel. Most people don’t consider the axe to be very heavy. You may throw the axe with 1 hand or 2 hands, whichever feels most comfortable for you. Our coaches will help you find the technique that works best for you.
