Brass City Raceway & Axe Throwing

If you’re looking for something to do in Waterbury that’s actually worth the trip, this place delivers. The go-karts are legitimately fast, and the axe throwing lanes give you something to brag about afterward — or laugh about, depending on how your aim holds up. Staff here get mentioned constantly in reviews, and not in the generic way — people specifically call out how patient and helpful they are with first-timers. It’s a solid pick for birthday parties, especially for the 10-and-up crowd who’s outgrown bounce houses but still wants something hands-on. Parking’s easy, everything’s indoors, and it’s one of the better options Waterbury has for this kind of entertainment.
