You step off International Drive into Dezerland Park’s buzzing atrium and the sound of timber meeting target cuts through the mall hum — axes thudding, electronic scoreboards pinging, and laughter filling the room. The Brass Axe sits in a warehouse-style bay where engineered wooden targets glow under strips of LED and lanes are lined with safety barriers. The smell of pine and resin accompanies each throw as staff coach your stance and count down your release.
