Group of 4, 1st visit and was thoroughly impressed with the price and facilities.We tried our luck at a walk in booking for axe throwing and got an earlier slot than the website had which was awesome.The price was great for the time we had (roughly an hour) but they were not in a rush for us to finish so could have stayed much longer.Bar was next to the axe throwing area and we were allowed to drink and had a laugh with the staff.The staff were all extremely helpful and introduced us to the axe throwing area.We were hosted by Jamie who showed us the ropes and the set up and gave plenty of tips and advice. His patience with semi drunk lads on a birthday outing was very impressive!The games were on an interactive projection over a board with a selection of different style point scoring or themed games.We stuck to the standard as the others seemed a bit advanced for our shoddy aim.All in all a great place for a small group and would definitely go back to have another go.

Booked the zombie laser tag party package for my sons 9th birthday and all the boys had a fantastic time. Jamie did a brilliant job looking after the boys in the arena and was also attentive to us making sure we had everything we needed for when they came out. All the staff we came across were excellent, very happy, welcoming and easy to talk to, nothing was too much and always smiling which is great! Brilliant afternoon. would defiantly recommend!

Really great people in there, nice seating area at the back of the premises by the bar which is more adult and great if you are on a hen or stag do. They were really good in teaching us technique on how to throw and axe and it was good fun.

This place was just wonderful. Passing through Hereford on a rainy day trying to find something to do with my daughterLoads of options here. Staff were beyond helpful and friendly. Had my first game of mini golf with my daughter. So much more to try with older children and adults though. Fully recommend this place, it's a lot of fun

What a great place! Travelled to Hereford for a girls day out and thought we'd give Matrix a try - so glad we did! Such a fun place with great staff and plenty to do. We opted for mini golf and laser tag and Jamie looked after us, he was really friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our visit, definitely worth the trip! 😊

Friendly staff (thanks for looking after us Jamie!), nice venue. Three of us did axe throwing for an hour - there's various games to play (standard targets, ducks, zombies and more). Venue is fun and energetic, well stocked and staffed. Highly recommended!

I recently went to Matrix as part of a works night out and it was great fun. We did laser tag which was really sweaty so definitely recommend spare clothes in you plan on going out after. The guy who took us for laser tag was Jamie who was a great laugh and really kept the funs atmosphere up. They also have a really nice bar at the back with axe throwing. Nice to have something in Hereford actually worth doing

Awesome night out! The Mrs had her work leaving do in the Mad Dogs axe throwing activity. We were given exclusive use of the lanes and the staff were friendly, organised and made it a lot of fun! Drinks, competition and an awesome atmosphere! Will definitely be going again!

A fantastic place to have fun on three floors with axe throwing, Lazer quest, indoor golf plus retro games too. Loved the slushy, full of taste all the way to the bottom and the shakes are brilliant.

Visited last week with my Grandson to play mini golf, it was a LOT of fun,only gave 4* as it was far too hot in there and obviously no air con so not as enjoyable as it could have been.

Went for the mini golf. Staff were friendly. Mini golf was good fun although a little uninspiring. The music was a little loud for us and we thought the 18 holes could have been made more interesting.

A fun place to hang out.

Matt Robson

Went axe throwing with the family, everyone loved it. The staff were amazing, informative and friendly. Only gripe really was the price, seemed overpriced at £70 per hour for 6 people. Shame as its something we would love to do again, but due to the price won't be anytime soon.Great experience though. Highly recommended, once anyway! 😉👍

Saw all the good reviews from a year or so back, so decided to check it out with a mate who's local. The desk staff were friendly, but I noticed the axe board has been replaced from the previous images with a cheaper backing, then the guy who gave us the initiation decided to come back and be incredibly overbearing and insisting we did it the way that he liked. When we said we didn't really mind about being bad, he stormed off in a huff while loudly complaining about us to another member of staff. I don't really care about over rotation, but I do care about having someone going beyond their job role to try and make us competitive when it's a light hearted flash game. We left after a single round. Considering an actual axe and a plank of wood is the same price as a half hour session, I don't think I'm coming back

Expensive for golf and took only about 15 minutes for my two children to play a round today. They enjoyed it, but I won't be in a rush to bring them back. Can imagine this is better when out with a few mates in the evening.

Michael Francis

19:42 12 Apr 22

This is a great place for all the familyThe lazer tag is amazing fun for all age's. Mini golf is great fun and axe throwing well it brings the lumber Jack out in you. The arcade is fun and they have table tennis what a great day out.

Pete AS

09:51 12 Apr 22

It started off good, but I don't want to go back to play minigolf. The minigolf was alright at first, but they've actually unintentionally downgraded it since, they've added these new pads to each hole which actually makes it more difficult. This course isn't very functional I'd say. Prices gone up too. If your just playing for a one-off I'd say you could go for it, but don't be expected to be amazed.
