I recommend downloading the venue's app before you go. It spotlights the best spots for food and merchandise and saves time wandering around!

I suggest getting there about an hour early to soak up the atmosphere and grab some snacks. The food lines can get pretty long just before the game starts

I recommend going during happy hour, which is usually from 5 to 7 PM. The drinks are way cheaper, so you can save a bit and still enjoy yourself.

I think it’s smart to bring cash for tips. The servers are friendly and the service can get a bit slow at times, but a little tip goes a long way!

I think it's worth splurging on a drink package if you're going with friends; it really adds to the whole experience and keeps the vibes friendly and fun

I recommend booking your session online in advance; it can get super busy on weekends, and you don’t want to show up and miss out!

I think it’s worth paying for the extra half hour if you really get into it. The time flies by, and having more practice just makes it more fun!

My advice is to wear closed-toe shoes. Trust me, you don’t want to be the one wearing flip-flops when you're throwing axes! Safety first!

After the game, check out the arcade area. I didn't realize it was there until after my session, and it looked like a blast. Make sure to save some time for that.

Definitely consider booking a session online ahead of time to score a better deal and avoid disappointment, especially on weekends when it gets super busy!

I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, because you'll be running around a lot. Trust me, you don't want to be stuck in tight jeans during a match!

If you're planning to catch a game, I recommend checking the schedule online first. I missed a match I wanted to see because I didn’t realize it started earlier than I thought. Save yourself the bother and plan ahead.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food at the venue is pricey, and trust me, you don’t wanna be stuck buying a $5 bottle of water! Having your own supplies will keep your costs down
