About

Barcelona Axe Throwing (B.A.T) is tucked into Carrer de Trafalgar in Ciutat Vella and offers supervised axe-throwing sessions for groups and families with older kids. The instructors walk everyone through technique from scratch — no experience required, and the safety briefing is thorough.

This is squarely a teens-and-tweens activity. The minimum age requirement is typically 12-14 (confirm when booking), which means it's genuinely usable as a reward activity for older kids who've sat through enough museums on the family trip.

Sessions last about an hour and include instruction, practice throws, and a competitive element. The friendly competition between family members is honestly half the fun — parents tend to be worse than their kids, which the kids absolutely love.

The Trafalgar location puts you close to the Arc de Triomf and Ciutadella Park, so it pairs well with a morning in the park followed by an afternoon at B.A.T.

Why Kids Love It
