Melbourne CBD Axe Throwing, Compared

Choosing the Right Axe Throwing Venue

Down a set of stairs at 121 Elizabeth St, beside the Elizabeth St tram stop, MANIAX Melbourne CBD keeps 17 throwing lanes in one basement – 5 sized for groups and 12 for singles.

Nobody needs a strong arm. A coach covers safety first and then coaches technique, and most people hear their first axe thud into the board within a few attempts.

Picking the right MANIAX format for the occasion:

  • A birthday with a dozen friends: a hosted group package of up to two hours, with games and competitions run for you.
  • Hens or bucks: the package built around those parties.
  • A weekday staff outing: the team building format.
  • A crew of four or five: book the group package and pay for seven places.
  • A whole company: hire the full venue, which handles up to 300 throwers.

Packages start from $58 per person, and a plain lane booking runs for one hour.

Safety, shoes and the sober rule

  • Everyone sits through the safety briefing before picking up an axe.
  • Closed-toe footwear only – sandals stay off the lanes.
  • Drinks are held back until the throwing is over, and arriving tipsy isn't allowed.
  • The lower age limit is 11, and teenagers bring a grown-up who stays with them.

Feasting after the final round

  • Viking feast platters are on offer for parties of 20 or more.
  • The menu covers pizza, giant beef ribs and fried chicken.
  • The bar has its own mead, alongside craft beer and cocktails.
  • A birthday cake is one of only two BYO exceptions, the other being a water bottle.
