We had the BEST time at Axe and Grind! Our group of 10 had an absolute blast. Ellie and the team were amazing. They were so friendly and patient, teaching us how to play the games, showing us fun tricks, and keeping the energy high the whole time. It was such a great experience from start to finish - can’t wait to come back!

I wanted to talk more about the other features of Axe and Grind. The...
