Step into the extraordinary at Half Axe, Greater Boston’s leading axe throwing destination. Immerse yourself in the thrill of state-of-the-art projector targets and seamless electronic scoring for an affordable price. We have all the info you need to plan a great time!
Indulge in our bar featuring a curated selection of local craft brews and timeless classics. Our expert coaches ensure a safe start with thorough safety instructions while providing personalized service, taking your orders right from the bay.
Unleash your inner hero – where every throw becomes an unforgettable experience!
Your safety is our top priority at Half Axe. Our expert coaches are here to guide you through every step of your throwing experience, ensuring proper technique and monitoring for safety protocols.
We take pride in maintaining a clean and safe environment by sanitizing each bay and axe after every group. Every Coach is CPR/First Aid certified and we have trauma kits in each bay, but you won’t need to worry about that. We’ve never used them. Join us for worry-free, axe throwing excitement!
Looking for more than “Axe Throwing near me”? Make Half Axe part of your night out!
With our convenient location inside New England’s largest family entertainment center, there’s tons of things to do before or after you throw with us, all in the same building! At Apex Entertainment, there’s activities like go-karts, bowling, arcades, ropes course, laser tag, sports simulators, and more. Just downstairs from us is Altitude Trampoline Park and Breakout escape rooms.
For a full list of restaurants and other businesses in our plaza, visit apexcenterne.com.
At Half Axe, we believe “per person” pricing doesn’t make sense for axe throwing.
Like bowling, only one person throws at a time on each target, so why pay more to throw less? The issue is worse if you’re paired with strangers—something we also don’t do.
Whether you’re a group of 2 or 20, you get your own bay for one price, making it more fun with more friends—without the extra cost!
You do not need to book ahead of time to throw! However, walk-ins are subject to first come, first served availability. If we’re busy, there may be a wait to start your time, but you can spend that time doing other things in the building or at our bar.
Bookings are the only way to secure your time and are strongly encouraged for larger groups (more than 8). Bookings have a minimum duration (usually an hour), charged at the standard rate.
We have a bar that serves a collection of local craft brews, as well as staple items. We offer beers, ciders, seltzers, and a small selection of wine. You can order at our bar before your booking, or make an order with your coach while in bay.
With a wide variety of beer on offer, no need to bring your own. We do not allow any outside alcohol, whether from the Pit Stop Tavern in the building or BYOB.
Guests are expected to be safe and in control of themselves at all times. Half Axe reserves the right to refuse service and/or request a guest or group to leave, at any time, without refund if guests cannot cooperate or are belligerent.
For more info, please visit our Bar Information
We do not offer prepared food, but our bar has some pre-packaged items (chips, crackers, candy, etc.).
Due to limited space at the bays, we only allow outside small snack items .

We do not allow any outside beverages. For more info, please visit our Bar Information page.
Due to space limitations, catering is only allowed when hosting a Buy-Out Event with us.

Nope, we welcome walk-ins!
However, lane availability operates on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure you have lanes when you want them, we strongly recommend booking a reservation ahead of your visit, especially during peak hours.
The answer is typically the earlier, the better. Weekends typically fill up, so plan ahead by booking here.
A booking can be made a maximum of 2 weeks out, but can be booked even day of.
If you’re looking to book an event beyond 2 weeks, Contact Us.
Our bookings can accommodate 2 to 8 players per 1 bay (2 targets). We can also accommodate groups of 9 to 16 players on 2 bays (4 targets), but recommend booking ahead of time to guarantee adjacent bays.
If you have a group of more than 16 players, please inquire about an Event.
No! That’s the Half Axe difference!
We provide your group with their own targets every time, whether you book ahead or walk-in! We do not clump separate groups together. You pay for your time.
When a booking slot is unavailable, it is usually due to any of the following circumstances:
For groups larger than 8 players (9-16 players), we recommend booking ahead online with our two bay (4 target) option.
For groups larger than 16, please contact us regarding an Event.
If you want to book more than the 1 hour for your group, Contact Us to ensure the lane availability.
When in your lanes, coaches ask if you would like to add more time in 20 minute increments based on availability.
We totally get it, axe throwing is FUN!
If there’s availability, your Coach will offer to add on more time to your booking in 20 minute increments for the standard group rate.

Yes, axe throwing is a safe activity!
Axe throwing facilities have operated for over 15 years with no major incidents. We have operated safely since 2018 without any incidents or injuries.
Still, our number one priority is always safety. That’s why we have taken measures to make sure bounce backs do not happen, such as using non-elastic padding and wooden axe handles.
Coaches are also there teaching how to throw and go over safety before anything is thrown. Coaches are available to your group the entire time of your booking to ensure safety, while watching for any unsafe behavior.
The cost is a group rate of $49 per 20 minutes, up to 8 players on 2 targets (1 bay). You can book 1 hour slots online for a total price of $147.
For 9 or more players, we recommend booking 4 targets (2 bays) ahead of time to guarantee adjacent bays.
For information and pricing on Events, visit our Events page HERE.
All members of a party must be at least 15 years of age. Additionally, any members of the party under the age of 18 are required to be accompanied by a legal parent or guardians.
Throwing environments are not safe or equipped for small children or babies, please plan accordingly. Half Axe cannot watch them for you, and they are not allowed beyond the lobby.
We do not allow the use of personal axes/hatchets, darts, knives, etc. We provide axes for you and your party.
Current or previous IATF league members are the only customers allowed to bring personal axes. Usage of your axe is still subject to inspection and approval.
You are free to take photos and videos during your session. We ask that you refrain from taking any photos or videos during the coach’s safety briefing and instruction for the safety of all participants.
Share your awesome moments with us on social media and tag us—we’d love to see and share in the excitement!
