Do you take walk-ins?

Short Answer: Yes. We do take walk-ins for the Throw. However… walk-in availability depends on our lane & staff availability and is first come, first served. To ensure you have lanes when you want them, we strongly recommend making a booking ahead of your visit.

Can I Bring My Own Axe/Hatchet?

No. We provide axes for you and your party. Do not bring axes, darts, knives, etc. League members may bring personal axes.

Do You Allow Spectators?

Yes! If you or someone in your group just wants to watch, they may. Spectators must still sign the waiver, though. There is a $1 fee to legalize the document. Everyone in the group, including Spectators, must be over the age of 15.

Is There an Age Restriction?

You must be at least 15 years old to both throw and/or spectate. Minors are additionally required to be accompanied by a legal parent or guardian, who must also be booked to throw. Leagues are 18+.

What should I wear?

We require players to wear closed-toed shoes. If we can see your toes, you can’t throw. Besides that, we recommend loose, non-restrictive clothing. You may also want to leave the heels at home.

How much does it cost??

Glad you asked! For $27 per player, you and your group receives variable time dependent on your group size (20 min of throw time per person). You will always have the perfect amount of time, regardless of your group size. Visit the THROW page for more details! We also have our TOURNEY option for a […]
