Madrid Center: AXE THROWING

Getting a chance to try something a bit different in Madrid can turn an ordinary day into a memorable adventure. The THROW AXES experience is a lively, modern venue that offers more than just the traditional dart or pool halls. For $22 per person, you get 1 to 2 hours of axe throwing combined with a variety of over 15 interactive games on high-tech targets. It’s a great choice if you’re craving something active, social, and a little bit out of the usual tourist trail.

What makes this experience stand out for me are two things: first, the friendly and attentive monitors who teach you how to throw safely and keep the energy positive, and second, the projected interactive targets, unique to EL HACHAZO, which add a fun, game-like aspect to the sport. I also appreciate that it’s not just about throwing axes; the venue offers viking drinks like hydromiel—perfect for feeling a bit medieval—and upstairs, you can unwind with pool, darts, or simply relax with a drink and some good food.

A quick word of caution: while the space is generous and the vibe enjoyable, this activity may not be suitable for very young children or those who aren’t comfortable with active, slightly competitive environments. Also, since alcohol isn’t permitted during axe throwing, it’s best to plan accordingly if you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to loosen up after a long day of sightseeing.

Location and Accessibility

Tucked away in the heart of Madrid, THROW AXES is easy to find and accessible, making it a perfect break from the usual museum or tapas crawl. The venue is housed in a spacious, modern setting that immediately says “fun.” It’s wheelchair accessible, which broadens who can join in the fun, and the staff speaks both English and Spanish, easing communication for international visitors.

What to Expect When You Arrive

Once inside, you’ll be greeted by friendly monitors who are clearly experienced and attentive. They’ll guide you through safety procedures—like wearing closed-toe shoes—and give you a quick tutorial on how to throw axes safely. The setting is large and welcoming, with a vibe that feels more like a sports bar than a traditional activity center.

The main attraction is, of course, the interactive targets. These are not your standard wooden boards; instead, they project different games and challenges, which is something you won’t find at every axe-throwing spot. The variety means that even if you’re a seasoned thrower, there’s always a new challenge to try.

The Interactive Games and Competition

The 15+ games on the targets kept the energy high. From simple target hits to more playful competitions, the monitors keep everyone engaged. Reviewers often mention that the guides are not only helpful but also fun, making the experience light-hearted and easy to enjoy. Expect good-natured teasing and plenty of laughter.

The monitors also manage the flow of the games, ensuring everyone gets turns and that the atmosphere remains friendly. I’d recommend listening carefully during the instructions, as some of the games can be tricky at first but are designed for maximum fun.

The Atmosphere and Additional Offerings

After you’ve had your fill of axe throwing, it’s worth heading upstairs. Here, you can relax with a game of pool, darts, or foosball, or just sit down with a drink. The Viking hydromiel is a fun nod to the medieval theme and offers a different taste experience compared to typical pub drinks.

The venue also offers pizzas and hot dogs, making it a casual spot to refuel. If you’re celebrating a birthday or planning a team event, THROW AXES is well-equipped to organize these gatherings with a lively, friendly environment.
