Brought a group of 12 for my birthday and it was the highlight of the year. The competitive games at the end had everyone cheering. Already booked again for next month!

Way better than the axe throwing bars! The instructors actually taught us proper technique and by the end we were all hitting bullseyes. Plus no drunk people in the lane next to you.
— Ryan P. (Bachelor Party)

Had a 1-on-1 session and it was incredible. The instructor was patient and helpful, and I went from complete beginner to actually sticking throws consistently. Highly recommend!

Common Questions

Absolutely! Our coaches provide thorough safety briefings and supervise all throwing. We use purpose-built lanes with safety barriers, and all participants must follow our safety protocols. We've hosted thousands of throwers without incident.

Not at all! Axe throwing is about technique, not strength. Our instructors will teach you the proper form that makes throwing easy and satisfying for people of all fitness levels.

Comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Closed-toe shoes are required. Avoid loose jewelry or very baggy sleeves. Think casual—jeans and a t-shirt work great.

Participants must be 14+ for axe throwing. Younger guests can check out our youth party packages which include age-appropriate activities.

For safety reasons, all throwing happens before any alcohol service. After your session, you're welcome to enjoy beverages at Cafe Duello or we can arrange drinks for your group.
