The Mighty Axe opened at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks in late July 2021 and at The Collection at RiverPark in Oxnard on April 8, 2023. What do you do there? You reserve an axe throwing “cage” for hour-long increments and hurl the axe at wood targets. And yes, they do go through a safety lesson with you before handing you the axe.

Open to ages 10 and up; ages 10 to 17 must be accompanied by adult. You can order food from various eateries to nibble on before, during or after your throws. Yes, they do have a craft ale bar, but you may not imbibe in more than 2 per hour and you will be cut off from axe throwing if you consume too much.

Pricing currently is $35 per person for an hour, $60 for two hours, minimum of two people in a cage.
