Are you and your boo getting tired of dinner and a movie? Join the latest trend and go axe throwing! This unique experience is guaranteed to be something that all couples and friends can enjoy on a night out.
Axe Throwing is the perfect date idea for a first date to avoid awkward conversations, or for serious couples who are looking for something fresh and new to do. My boyfriend, Herbie and I have been twice and we absolutely love the competition.
What is it?
It is exactly how it sounds. There are individual lanes that your group will be on, and you will take turns throwing axes at a target. The target is very similar to darts, but on a much larger scale. There are many different ways to play such as random throwing and keeping track of points or organized games that the workers will teach you. Most people don’t have experience chucking axes so don’t worry they give instructions on the best practice and safety precautions.
How much does it cost?
Most axe throwing places price range is between $20-30 for the hour. I went ahead and researched an axe throwing place in Columbia, SC for all of my fellow UofSC students and it is $20 an hour at Craft Axe Throwing.

Anything important to know?
Again, most axe throwing places have different policies, but it is very common among them to have a bar and several tvs making it the perfect place to gather for events as well.
If you are planning your date night ahead of time, you can go ahead and reserve a lane for a certain time to ensure you get to play. They do allow walk ins but that tends to fill up really fast on a Friday night!
College night at Craft Axe Throwing in Columbia is on Wednesdays and students throw for $15!
Lastly, if you really enjoyed axe throwing, you have the opportunity to join a league that gets together weekly and meet other people through it.
