We gathered up some of our good friends for a fun couples’ night out and visited the recently opened HUB Stadium in Novi. We were blown away at how beautiful the facility was! We had such a great time laughing and learning some new skills together.
HUB Stadium Novi is a 70,000 square feet entertainment that hosts 6 ice curling lanes, 22 axe throwing stalls, 8 football bowling lanes, 4 full bars, a full restaurant, event spaces, and an upstairs lounge with a massive balcony to enjoy the outdoors.
We got to sample each of the three activities offered. Read on to learn about each, including the age requirements.
Axe Throwing
Ages 18+ | Closed toed shoes required
What set this experience apart from other axe throwing places I’ve visited was the interactive game modes. Once we had some practice throwing, we were able to switch to some unique games. My favorite was one where we tried to pop our opponent’s bubbles. It was so fun and hysterical!
Each stall reservation comes with a coach, so don’t worry if you’ve never thrown an axe before. They will teach you how to do it. For their time, I’d recommend giving them a tip afterward.
Football Bowling
Age 12+
Think bowling, but with a football! This game can be played with up to 10 players {5 on each side}. Once your opponent’s ball hits the ground, it can be caught or blocked. The ball can also be caught after it passes over the platform of pins. Once a pin goes down, it stays down…even if it’s knocked over by the next lane over.
I can’t wait to bring my kids to do this in a couple of years. Seems like a great family activity with teens!
Ice Curling
Ages 18+
Brrrr…It’s cold in here! Definitely bring a sweater and some easy clothes to move in for this activity! This was all of our first times trying ice curling, and it was tricky at first, but SO fun once you get the hang of it. I absolutely would come back for this alone!
Don’t fret if you have no clue how to do it, each lane comes with a coach to help you through the process.
This facility is one of the only spots in Michigan to offer real ice curling open to the public without needing a membership.
How fun would this be for a team building activity or even as a girls or guys night out?
NOTE: Make sure to tip your coach after…They will appreciate it!
Enjoy Live Music
While HUB Stadium Novi is known for axe throwing, football bowling and ice curling, you do not need to schedule an activity to have a good time. They have live bands Thursday – Saturday in their upstairs event space, and a gorgeous outdoor patio.
I definitely made a mental note to come back to enjoy this on a girl’s night out!
Event Space
Additionally, the HUB also has a 6 private spaces available that are perfect for events from corporate team building to birthdays and holiday parties. The spaces are absolutely gorgeous and would make for such a memorable outing.
Each private event space has something unique to offer from private axe throwing stalls, to views of the Curling arena with a massive fireplace.
Food & Drink
We were happily surprised to see that HUB Stadium has a great menu with a wide variety of items available for lunch and dinner and there’s no entertainment purchase necessary.
We thought the prices were amazing for the large portions of stone-fired dishes and craft cocktails. We all enjoyed our meals. My friend ordered the pizza box nachos and could barely put a dent in it and I only ate half my pizza. So delicious!
