Eric and Danielle Christensen started Axe Holes in Grand Island three years ago and have seen their business grow ever since.
“With three years of experience in the business, we have decided to make some exciting changes to provide our community with even more family entertainment,” said Eric Christensen.
He said they have expanded their business to include a kitchen, a full bar, a 30-piece arcade with a prize redemption counter, four lanes of mini bowling, and projectors on their axe-throwing targets that offer 16 interactive games for guests to enjoy. Leagues for mini bowling, darts and axe throwing are in the works.
For the last three years Axe Holes has become the ideal destination for axe throwing and letting loose, Christensen said.
Axe throwing is an ancient sport that has gained popularity in recent years is a fun way to unwind after a stressful day and bring people together for some wholesome fun.
