What are the prices for axe throwing sessions?

Accepted Answer

Each axe throwing session is 75 minutes long. Private lanes (reservations encouraged) require a minimum of 2 throwers and a maximum of 6 per lane.

- 75-80 minutes: $25 per person
- 180 minutes: $50 per person (must book consecutive start times for the same lane)

You won't be placed with strangers on your lanes, but during peak times, we may condense your group. For groups of 6 or more, divide your group size by 4/5 to determine the number of lanes needed.

Walk-ins are welcome, but availability may vary, especially during busy seasons (October - April) and premium times (weekends 3 pm - 9 pm, weekdays 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm). Call ahead to check availability or book online.

Safety is #1 at Madison Axe.  We reserve the right to deny anyone whom we feel cannot safely throw an axe.

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, though please understand that these are axes. YOU and others are required to be responsible people! We are fully insured and teach safe throwing methods within a controlled environment. Each of our lanes is completely enclosed, so even if the axe bounces off there is no ricochet into bystanders, etc. Our lane coaches will help guide you on how to hold, aim, and throw an axe from the beginning to the end of your experience. They are ‘axeceptional’!! We reserve the right to deny anyone whom we feel cannot safely throw an axe. Safety is #1!
