Axe Out Entertainment – Somerdale
42Freeway first brought the news of Axe Out coming to Somerdale back in November. The location is in the Cooper Town Center where Cinemark is located. Axe Out is to the right of the Esporta Fitness Gym.
Axe Out offers axe throwing, mechanical bull riding, wall challenge climbs, hurricane simulator, photo booth memories and arcade games… all under one roof!
And each of the core items have a unique twist to them… such as interactive digital games projected on to the climbing wall and axe throwing boards. It makes for an endless variety of fun!
ValoClimb Digital Wall Climb
At the front entrance to Axe Out is the ValoClimb system. It’s a true indoor climbing system with exposed small rock ledges to enable you to climb up and around on the wall!
The really cool extra twist comes from the ValoClimb system which digitally projects games onto the board… while it’s integrated camera reads your movements to make it a fully interactive game experience.
The integrated climbing games offer a variety of challenges such as creating virtual barriers that have you climbing around them (up and over!) to reach the final goal.
And if you want to play but not climb, many games can be configured to a lower height so that you can have challenging fun with the interactive games with feet still firmly planted on ground.
As an example it could be as simple as a Whack-a-Mole style game where characters appear on the board and you have to touch them to remove from the board! Or even the classic pong game!
Mechanical Bull Riding
Would you believe Somerdale has a full mechanical bull riding experience… just like you would find at a country western bar?!
The Axe Out version uses an inflatable floor around the bull, as well as inflatable side walls… to give a softer “bouncy house” style landing.
The bull offers several pre-programmed levels of spins, jerks, and lifts, including a very slow beginner mode. Rebecca and the team can also take over the controls for a more customized experience.
I gave it a try and it was my first time on a mechanical bull… I have to say it’s harder than it looks. I clearly was in a beginner toddler mode but just the twist and the turns of the bull did make it tough to stay on!
Rebecca tells me the bull can be swapped out for an inflatable log-style pole which would move around the bouncy house floor, making it a fun game to avoid getting bopped!
Axe Throwing
In the back of the large open space are 6 axe-throwing lanes. It’s a slick design for the lanes and Rebecca is using an end grain placement of the wood, so it creates a less “chippy” experience.
But there’s a new twist to the Somerdale version of axe throwing… just like the wall climbing, the axe throwing games support digitally projected target games!
I tried a variety of games and even easily uploaded the 42Freeway logo and my face… which appeared in one of the bubble target games!
There are many game options available including target based, tic-tac-toe and even holiday themed.
Hurricane Simulator, Arcade and More
Axe Out offers a full balance of fun activities… including several that are still tons of fun, give a break from the full interactive effort!
The hurricane simulator is a very unique experience… an exciting and safe way to experience the power of mother natures wrath! Winds over 70mph!!
Or how about classic arcade games with each unit featuring multiple games! And of course they are set for “open play” so no nickel-and-diming you for each game play.
An inflatable axe throwing game is setup in the back corner, making it a fun and safe experience for all.
And the digital photo booth takes multiple fun photos at no charge, which can be sent to you for sharing on to friends and family, or on social media.
Dont forge the free Spring photo session on Sunday March 24th!
Consider Axe Out Somerdale for your new outing with friends, family or event.
