An urban axe throwing experience in the middle of Antwerp.
Get your adrenaline pumping and try out an alternative activity near Antwerp’s historical centre. WoodCutter provides a fun urban axe-throwing experience. It is a unique activity to do with friends, as a family with older children or even as a date.
For one hour you’ll be throwing axes at your own target, no sharing! It may sound like a challenge, but anyone can do it with a little bit of practice. By the end, you’ll be getting competitive in a mini-axe throwing tournament.
During your session you’ll be accompanied by a super friendly and attentive Axe Master. They’ll teach you how to throw the axes and instruct you along the way. Most importantly, they are there to ensure your safety. There are plenty of security rules and as long as you listen to your Axe Master, you’ll have nothing to worry about.
WoodCutter’s do offer a few snacks and a rotation of 5 local beers for you to enjoy, responsibly, but nothing substantial. Feeling peckish after all that axe throwing or did you want a drink? Not a problem, you’re next to the centre of Antwerp, opposite the famous St Anna’s tunnel. So there will be bars and eateries nearby where you can continue the day or evening.
PS. They’ve got another WoodCutter in Brussels too!
