A Closer Look at the Miami Axe & Escape Experience
If you’re after a memorable night out in Miami that mixes a bit of adrenaline with some brain-teasing fun, this bundle of axe throwing and an escape room might just be worth considering. We haven’t done this one ourselves, but from what we’ve gathered, it’s a popular choice for groups looking to try something different without breaking the bank.
What gets us excited about this experience are two things: the opportunity to try a classic sport like axe throwing in a lively, friendly setting and the chance to challenge your wits in an immersive escape room. Plus, the fact that both activities are bundled together at a pretty reasonable price makes it even more appealing. That said, one thing to keep in mind is that the order of activities depends on availability, so flexibility is key when booking.
This experience is best suited for those who enjoy interactive, hands-on fun, whether you’re with friends, family, or a mix of both. It’s not necessarily a tour for those craving a sightseeing-focused day, but rather a lively, engaging way to spend a couple of hours in Miami with a group that appreciates a bit of friendly competition and mental puzzles.

The Details of the Experience

This two-hour experience kicks off at 540 N Miami Ave, where you’ll meet the staff ready to guide your group through each activity. The booking process is straightforward, with most folks planning about 10 days in advance, which is typical for popular activities in Miami. Once there, your first stop is likely the axe throwing, where you get about an hour to try your hand at throwing axes, with guides showing you the ropes. Despite some reviews mentioning that guides make it look easy—trust us, it’s trickier than it looks—you’ll enjoy the challenge and the chance to get a bit competitive with friends or family.
The axe throwing experience is designed to be approachable for beginners, but it’s important to wear closed-toe shoes for safety. The guides are generally praised for their friendliness and knowledgeable approach, making newcomers feel comfortable even if you’ve never thrown an axe before.
After this, the activity switches gears to the escape room, which is automatically the Viking: Age of the Axe room when you book. If you’ve played that one before, the staff is happy to switch you to other themed rooms like Dr. Fields Mad Lab or Vampires: The Last Night—just make sure to mention it upon arrival.
The escape room lasts about an hour and is described as being more challenging than expected, with reviews indicating that it really makes you think outside the box. One reviewer noted that it was “so dope,” and another said it was “really fun with something for all,” highlighting how engaging the puzzles are, especially for groups that like a mental challenge.
Beer and wine are available for purchase during your time there, adding to the relaxed, social vibe of the experience. It’s a good chance to unwind after the physical activity, or to enjoy some drinks while strategizing your escape.
The Value and Overall Experience

At $48 per person, this bundle offers significant value. Many travelers noted that they’d paid more for just axe throwing elsewhere, but here you get both activities combined, making it a cost-effective option. The reviews show that participants found it to be well worth the price, especially considering the quality of the staff, the fun atmosphere, and the unique blend of activities.
In particular, many reviewers highlighted how fun the escape room was, with one saying it was “really fun” and “more challenging than I expected,” which is great if you like puzzles or problem-solving. The axe throwing, despite guides making it look easy, is appreciated for being a fun, social activity—even if it takes a couple of tries to get the hang of it.
The reviews are glowing overall, with a perfect 5-star rating from 44 reviews, and everyone recommending it. People loved the chilled vibe, the good staff, and the extra value of the combo. Several mentioned they’d be returning, pointing to how well the activities succeed at delivering fun and challenge in a friendly setting.
What to Keep in Mind
The order of activities depends on availability, so if you have a preference, it’s worth mentioning when you book. The closed toe shoes rule is important for safety in the axe throwing part. Also, while the experience is suitable for most travelers, those not comfortable with physical activity or certain safety precautions should consider their comfort level first.
In terms of logistics, the meeting point is centrally located near public transportation, so getting there is straightforward. With most travelers able to participate, the activity is inclusive for those with no prior experience, thanks to the friendly staff guiding you along.
