Frequently Asked Questions

What if we don't want to throw axes?

That's okay! We're happy to rent our space to you for meetings or social gatherings. We have a bar with plenty of space and a beautiful view of the Historic Durham Athletic Park.

What is Urban Axe Throwing?

Axe throwing as an indoor competitive sport that started in Canada in 2006 and quickly caught on in the United States after Urban Axes opened the first axe throwing facility in the country in 2016. Similar to darts, axe throwing is an individual sport played with and against other members of a group. Individuals throw 1.5 lb. hatchets at wooden targets marked with a bullseye and score points based on where on the target they stick the axe. If you've thrown axes before and want to try something different, we also offer throwing knives!

Bachelor Party

Went here for a friend's bachelor party and had a great time. The staff were easy to hang out with and helpful. It felt like they were having as good a time as we were. I can't afford to go here very often but I'd say it was worth the price of admission for the time I did go.

Team Building

Absolutely amazing!!! I came here for a work bonding trip. Only one person in our group had ever thrown axes before. I had no idea what to do, but Z (our "axepert") did the most fantastic job of helping explain safety rules, and how to throw. Z taught us how to do one handed, and double handed, and helped coach us throughout the process and through different rounds, in case we needed refreshers. Absolutely would come back again. The price is worth the experience!!!
