Frequent Questions
Axe Throwing
CAN WE GET A RANGE TO OURSELVES?
If you book a private range, your group will be the only ones throwing on that range. Pricing is a bit more if your pack of axe chuckers has less than 4 people in it.
I DON'T WANT TO THROW, I JUST WANT TO COME HANG WITH MY FRIENDS AND WATCH. DO I HAVE TO PAY?
WHAT AGES CAN THROW?
After 9pm throwers must be 21+ all other times throwers must be 16 or older except for Sundays when we welcome guests as young as 12 as long as they are under the immediate supervision of a parent/guardian. Parents/Guardians do have to sign our electronic waiver for anyone under 18 before we can let them throw. No one under 12 years old is allowed in our facility without prior approval from management.
WILL WE BE TAUGHT HOW TO THROW?
We have axepert coaches to teach you how to throw, as well as setting you up with some fun games!
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We require closed-toe shoes (no high heels even if they are closed-toe). You’ll want to wear a shirt with a full range of motion as well (flannel is cool but not required).
CAN I BRING MY OWN AXE?
Unfortunately, our insurance guy (and our common sense) says no. Unless you are in our league, that's a different story.
ARE YOU HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE? CAN I THROW FROM A WHEELCHAIR?
Yes we are and yes you can. We do have an upper level that is only accessible via stairs but most of the fun happens on our main level. Our restrooms are also handicapped accessible.
CAN WE BRING IN LIQUOR?
Outside drinks of any kind are not allowed as we do have a full bar and restaurant on site. No BYOB of any kind. ID is required for the alcohol.
DO AXEPERTS ACCEPT TIPS?
Tipping is never expected but always appreciated. Our axeperts will do their best to make your experience fun and exciting. It's nice to show them some love!
Booking
DO YOU ALLOW WALK INS? - HOW DO THEY WORK?
Yes we do, if we have an open range. We do group walk ins together so you may meet some other woodsmen. Please keep in mind that our walk ins are few and far between and reservations are strongly recommended.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Axe Throwing is $28 per person when booking a private lane for 6. If your group has 3 to 5 people, the cost is $30 per person. Groups of 2 people are $35 per person. Walk ins are $20 per person but you throw for just under an hour and we cannot guarantee availability.
WHAT IS YOUR LATENESS POLICY?
PLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE 15 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR START TIME! We run a tight schedule and don’t want you to miss any of your axepert coaching or axe chucking time. If you are more than a few minutes late, we will have to shorten your throwing time.
CAN I BOOK AN EVENT OUTSIDE OF YOUR NORMAL HOURS?
Absolutely! Just e-mail us at info@lumberaxe.com. More information can be found through the link on our home page.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
Once bookings are confirmed, we cannot reverse the transaction. You may reschedule the booking with a 24 hour notice.
CAN I BUY GIFT CERTIFICATES?
We would highly recommend it! Lumber Axe Gift Vouchers are fantastic gift ideas for that person who has everything. Plus they just might bring you!
