"Corporate Activity for Insurance company"
We have 7 executives throw the axe. The timing of our event was perfect, we went on to the Hawks game after. Bad Axe Throwing was very flexible with us in terms of timing and participation. Bad Axe Throwing explained in great detail how to throw the axe - my group had a great experience! Thank...Read full review
"A Skill You Didn't Know You Had"
This was more fun than expected. We had a great coach and got amazing photos. We had a group of 10 and about just over 2 hours was good. It would be good for an afternoon or before or after dinner.
"Axesome"
Went for a friends birthday and had a great time! Axe throwing is a lot harder than expected but our teacher for the night was very patient and helpful. We played a few games which made the night even more fun. Excellent time.
"So much fun!"
We went in during walk-in hours on NYE and it was so fun! Paying an hour was just enough time to learn some different throws, play games, and enjoy a little bit of free time! I would definitely go back and have already spread the word to all my friends!
"A Great Time!"
We had a blast! If you are looking for something fun and unique to do, this is it. Sam was our instructor and he was wonderful. He showed our group the proper throwing techniques, and was very knowledgable. I can really see this place becoming as big as whirlyball. It would be great for corporate/work...Read full review
"Beyond Expectation"
There is something unflinchingly satisfying about burying the blade of an axe into a wooden target from 14 paces away. That was the resounding and unanimous consensus of our group as we left the comfortable but sparse confines of Bad Axe Throwing. As winter creeps along and you're in need of a new activity, consider...Read full review

FAQs
What are the hours of operation?
If you'd like to make a booking, group events are by appointment only. But we also offer occasional walk-in sessions. Make sure to scroll down and check out our walk in calendar in advance to see when you can come hang out!
How can I pay?
We're a cashless business - not in the sense that we're completely broke, but we only accept credit cards on-site. This means no dinero por favor. AMEX, Visa, Mastercard are gladly accepted. Diner's Cards are too, if anyone still uses them.
What are the minimum and maximum group sizes for events?
We can host groups as small as 8, except on Friday night and Saturday when the minimum group size is 12. Though, if you're really popular, we can accommodate up to 70 of your family and friends!
Can I get a deal if I pay cash?
This isn't a garage sale! Kidding - sorta. Being the good citizens that we are, we "like" to pay our taxes. So unfortunately cash/money won't get you hooked up.
When should I book? How far in advance?
It depends on how much you love the person! haha! But seriously, if you are looking to book on a weekend, then you should book at least 4 weeks in advance. If you are looking to book on a weekday, then you should book at least 1-2 weeks in advance. It all depends: summer time has a bit more flexibility, any other time is pretty busy.
How long does axe throwing take?
An axe throwing event should take about 2.5 hours. Get your chops in less than half an hour then stick bullseyes for the rest.
Forms of
payment
We accept all forms of credit cards.
Unfortunately we do not accept cash on site.
