Axe Throwing

Beat your friends at Duck Hunt. With an axe.

Minimum age
12+
Standalone price
$18
Footwear
Closed-toe shoes

You are playing Space Invaders or Duck Hunt while you throw, which is why nobody stands around waiting for a turn. Every rental includes two dedicated targets and a seating section in the bar-style lounge behind the lanes.

What makes it different

It is not wood Axe Throwing. There is a video game projected onto the target.

Most Axe Throwing is a painted ring on a board and a scorecard somebody keeps on their phone. Ours projects a video game onto the wood, so you are throwing at Space Invaders or Duck Hunt and the target reacts when you hit it. A beginner gets feedback on the first throw instead of on the tenth.

It also fixes the thing that makes ordinary Axe Throwing dull for a group: there is always something happening on the target, so the four people not throwing are still watching a game rather than watching a line.

The lounge behind the lanes is the part people do not expect. It is a bar-style seating area shared by the lanes, and your rental includes the section directly behind your own lane, which turns Axe Throwing from a twenty minute novelty into somewhere a group actually settles in. It is why this is our strongest date night and double-date product.

For a corporate booking it works best as a breakout: split a larger group, run half in the Laser Tag arena and half on the lanes, then swap. Ages 12 and up, and closed-toe shoes are required on the lanes for every thrower.

Six lanes, a game on every target, and a lounge behind the lanes to sit in between throws.

Ages 12 and up. Closed-toe shoes are required for every thrower, with no sandals or open-toe shoes on the lanes. Every participant signs a waiver, which can be done online in advance.

A video game projected onto the wood turns a novelty into a game worth getting better at.

What makes these lanes different.

Two dedicated targets per rental, a seat in the lounge behind your lane, and a game running on the wood the whole time.

A video game on the target

Space Invaders and Duck Hunt projected onto the wood. The target reacts to the throw, so scoring is instant and a first-timer improves inside a few throws instead of guessing.

Two dedicated targets

Every rental gets two, so a group is throwing in parallel rather than watching one person at a time. It roughly halves the standing around.

The lounge behind the lanes

A bar-style seating area behind the lanes, shared with the other lanes, with a section behind your lane for your group. Beer and wine service is available for guests 21 and over, including Combat Hops and wine slushies.

04

Available on its own

Axe Throwing is $18 on its own, so a group can book the lanes without building a whole event around them.

$18

The room that surprises people the most.

Most guests book Axe Throwing as a novelty and then spend the evening in it.

Date night

Two people, or four

The lounge behind the lanes is what makes it work as a date: somewhere to sit between throws with a drink, rather than a novelty you try for ten minutes and then stand around.

Frequently asked questions

Call the front desk with any other question.

A call reaches the venue while we are open, and the front desk can check the schedule.

317-667-0703 Plan Your Visit
What age do you have to be to throw?

Twelve and up, with closed-toe shoes. As with every activity here, each participant needs a signed waiver.

How many lanes are there?

Six, each with video projection over the wood so you are throwing at a game rather than a painted ring.

Is the lounge private?

No. The bar-style lounge behind the lanes is shared by the lanes, and every rental includes the seating section directly behind its own lane.

Do you serve alcohol at the lanes?

We serve beer and wine for guests 21 and over, including local craft options, Combat Hops, and wine slushies.

What games are on the targets?

Space Invaders and Duck Hunt among others, projected onto the wood so the target reacts when you hit it.

Can we rent the lanes on their own?

Yes. Axe Throwing is $18 on its own.

What do I need to wear?

Closed-toe shoes are required for every thrower. Sandals, slides and open-toe shoes cannot go on the lanes, so check the whole group's footwear before you leave home.
