BAD AXE

Bad Axe Throwing Ottawa was launched in the summer of 2015 and was featured in CBC, The Sun & the Ottawa Citizen for bringing the sport of urban axe throwing to the Capital! We're conveniently located just 2 minutes from the 417, just down the street from the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

We've become the popular, go-to destination for birthday parties, corporate events, team-building activities, bachelor/ette parties & private events. Our facilities were recently upgraded and we provide the ability to book the entire venue for your group. That means your party can have their event be completely private without sharing the space with other groups - an exclusivity that you wont find anywhere else.

Our incredible staff of axe throwing coaches is the sole reason we have over 500 5-Star ratings across Facebook, Google, Yelp & TripAdvisor. Our axe throwing coaches and other incredible staff will teach you the basics and help you hone your axe throwing skills. They'll then conduct fun & unique games, team tournaments and a final individual tournament to crown a champion!

If you're looking to book an axe throwing event in Ottawa, please use our online booking calendar to secure your space as we sometimes fill up our slots several weeks in advance.

It gets better: if you're celebrating a birthday, you get in for FREE! That's right, one birthday boy or girl won't have to pay when they let us know it's their birthday ahead of their event! Firefighters, police officers, soldiers and nurses also get our lowest & exclusive rate.

(You must provide Customer Service with a valid photo ID showing your birthday is within one week of the event, or proof of your military/police/figherfighter/nurse membership. Please provide proof/photo ID to Customer Service at least 48 hours prior to your event to receive free admission. Only one birthday discount per booking)

"Fun evening with friends!"

Great evening. Fun activity that allows you to socialize with friends at the same time. Strocker did a great job showing us what to do and guiding us through the evening. Definitely an activity to do again.

"Great Place, Amazing Staff"

I had an amazing time here, it was my first time ever handling an axe and the coaches were extremely helpful and absolutely a good time. We played some fun games and the coaches were super encouraging. Relaxed atmosphere makes it so much easier to let loose and really give it a shot. Shout out...Read full review

"So much fun! Good for competitive people too!"

This was an awesome time! I really enjoyed it. It's great for competitive people and for people who just want to release some frustration too! Go with friends, family, work, birthdays, any type of party!

0Useful?

"Great Place"

Went with a group from work and had a great time, even if we didn't stick many axes in the target. Lots of coaching from the Tom to make sure we knew what we were doing and we're having fun. Would go again and recommend it to anyone.

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, and 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 hours. Get your chops in less than half an hour then stick bullseyes for the rest.

View all Ottawa FAQ's

Can I come with a couple of friends or with a date?

Heck ya, bring your mom too! Whether it's you and the gang or you and your better half, we'd love for you to come hang out with us! Keep in mind that we have minimum group sizes if you'd like to book in a group. That allows us to schedule in a dedicated axe throwing coach to teach you the Jedi ways of axe throwing. If you have a much smaller group, you can check out our walk-ins or even contact us directly.

What should I wear?

Nothing! Clothes are so overrated. But if you insist, we suggest you wear something comfortable, as in, NO HIGH HEELS. Wear something you'd wear if you wanted to ruin someone's wedding - close-toed sneakers, a comfortable shirt you can throw stuff in, and comfy pants. Heck, wear plaid! Yes, make everyone wear plaid!

Do you guys provide all the equipment?

Lets make a deal, you supply the food, drinks and people, we supply the axes and good time. You don't need to worry about bringing any equipment or anything else in - just your party and whatever snacks you want to bring along with you.

Can we bring our own axes?

As of January 2018 - we now allow you to bring WATL certified axes. That means you can't bring in double-bit axes or ninja stars, but hatchets and axes that are compliant with WATL rules.

Can we take pictures or videos?

Please do! We love seeing pictures of you having fun at Bad Axe! On Instagram, we give away monthly prizes for free axe throwing - just make sure you tag us #badaxethrowing #axethrowing

Do you guys have a league?

YES we do! We're a part of The World Axe Throwing League (WATL). Check out the Axe Throwing League. section of our website to sign up. It's only $15/week and you get to compete against local axe throwers and people all over the world. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!

What are the axe throwing rules?

The rules will be explained to you during the orientation speech prior to your event. Can't wait? Check out our post on urban axe throwing rules. They are taken directly from WATL - the global governing body for the sport of urban axe throwing.

What if I have to cancel? What’s your policy?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just don't. Don't do it. You'll regret not coming in. But if you have to, we require a 2 week cancellation notice in order to receive a refund on your deposit.

Is there an age limit?

We've had 8 year olds throw axes and kick axe. We don't have a set age limit, but there is a strength restriction. If we feel that a person is not strong enough to throw the axe in a safe manner, then it wont make sense to allow them to throw.

Can we bring our own food?

Only if you bring us some! #WillWorkForFood The real answer is: Yes! You can cater in, order or have your mother drop off some cookies and milk. It's all included in your entry fee - feel free to bring your own food and drinks.

Do you guys supply plates, forks and knives?

Unfortunately not. :( We don't supply any eating utensils, but if we have any stored away from a previous group that left them, you're more than welcome to use it. Best to play it safe and bring your own utensils though.

Do you guys have a fridge to put drinks?

What kind of animals would we be if we didn't?! We have mini-fridges that you're more than welcome to use to store drinks and food during your event. But if you leave them behind, they're all mine! Muhahaha.

Do you guys have music or should we bring our own?

We have bluetooth speakers we use and can hook up your phone to it or we can hook up ours to get the tunes going. If you have some jams you want to listen to, we can play any specific kind of music you like. Just ask your awesome axe throwing coach!

Will someone show us how to throw the axe before we start?

Our talented and amazing axe throwing coaches will be there to help teach you and hone in on making tweaks to your technique so you can properly throw an axe. There will be a brief orientation at the beginning of your event where you'll be shown how to throw an axe.

Can people come and just watch or do they have to pay still?

We get a lot of these requests and if they're not throwing and just want to hang out with you guys, while being the odd-person standing in the corner by themselves, not enjoying the fun and watching everyone else have the time of their life while they drown in regret, we would be happy to have them come in and cheer their friends & fam at no additional cost.

Is it safe? Has anyone ever gotten hurt?

If loosing a limb counts as being safe, then yes! It's totally "safe". We get axed this question all the time, usually by people who have never done it before or never heard of it before. Urban axe throwing is completely safe. We have never had anyone hurt or injured in any way. It is completely safe and once you do it, you'll potentially hate yourself for questioning our awesome sport.

Are there any other locations I can visit?

We have locations all across Canada and the United States.

Check out our locations page for a listing of locations.

How can I book an axe throwing event?

You're in luck! Keep scrolling down until you hit the calendar availability. Pick a date, pick a time, enter your details and we'll book you in. You can book your event online, on this very page!
