Did we Spark your Curiosity?

Axe throwing has been around all over the globe in all kinds of iterations for thousands of years. It became more formal around 2006 in Toronto, Canada and has since been sweeping the U.S. Axe throwing is something you don’t need years of experience with to come and play; it is for anyone looking for something new and fun to do! Axe throwing is an activity where people stand at the end of a lane and throws an axe at a wood target. The goal is to hit the bulls eye. 

All participants must wear closed-toed shoes (no high heels, flip flops or sandals), and have the strength and ability to throw an axe as judged by our Axe Masters. All participants are required to sign a liability waiver. Anyone under 18 years old, must have a parent or guardian sign their liability waiver as well.

This is a fun and energetic sport; please wear something comfortable. We recommend NO loose clothing or clothing with hoods (axes can catch!) . As noted above, you MUST wear closed-toed shoes to participate.

No AXEperience needed! Our Axe Masters will show you everything you need to know.

This is a personal choice based on your own ability. We will not stop you but ask that you please be safe.
