Bookings & Inquiries
What's the minimum age to throw?
The minimum age to throw with us is 10. Ages 10-17 must have an adult present to
supervise, but the adult does not need to throw, just watch. There is also a different
waiver for minors, which requires the signature of the adult supervisor - you can find that
here.
Do you serve alcohol? Can we bring alcohol?
You may not bring your own alcohol. LumberJaxe is proud to offer you beer,
cider, seltzers and wine available for purchase.
Can we bring food?
Yes! Our ‘little bites’ menu provides tasty hot appetizers to keep the hunger at bay while
you throw axes, but if you’re looking for a full meal, we recommend bringing in your own
catering. We don’t charge any plating fee, but you’ll have to do your own legwork in
finding food for your crew. Need some extra help deciding on what to eat? Reach out
and we can help find you the food you want for a small added fee.
LumberJaxe Questions
What should I expect with LumberJaxe?
At LumberJaxe, we don’t just hand you an axe and say “good luck”. You’ll be
provided with an expert coach to help you learn how to throw safely and
successfully. Then we get into games! We’ve got a whole games book from
games perfect for pairs (Around the World and Tic Tac Toe), to a tournament set
up and run by your coach. Mastered your competitive throw? We’ve got tons of
trick shots to try also. We do our best to tailor the experience to each group.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend booking one week in advance. For larger groups, booking
2 weeks ahead of time is highly recommended. For help with bookings, especially
larger groups, please call 770-995-7405
Can I bring my underage child?
Children of all ages can enter the facility as long as they are supervised by an adult in their group.
I don't want to throw. Can I still come watch?
Absolutely, but you’ll still need to fill out a waiver like all other patrons.
How long do I book for?
Depends on the number of people! For groups of 2-4, 1 hour is often enough. For groups larger than 5 we highly recommend 90 minutes or two hours, which allows time for safety, training, coaching, games,
tournaments, trick shots, and more! We take pride in tailoring the experience to what you're most interested in. If you'd like to stay longer, we're happy to extend your stay if our availability allows.
Do I have to make a reservation?
No, you are more than welcome to walk in. However, we do tend to fill up quickly, and walk-ins are “first come first serve”. If you do not have a reservation, call
ahead and we will do our best to accommodate you. 706-995-7405
Is the Parking Available?
Unfortunately in Athens, we do not have a dedicated parking lot. The parking is
downtown street (metered) parking. There are several spaces in front of our
location that are free spaces.
I love this, how do I do it more?
Join our Leagues! Available Thursday evenings 6pm -10pm. You can also check
out our tournament/events page.
Large Bookings
Why can’t I get a discount for my group of X size?
At LumberJaxe, we don’t just hand you an axe and say “good luck”. Based on your
group size, we will devote more staff to ensure everyone is being safe, succeeding at
axe throwing (sticking axe in the wood), and having fun playing games and completing a
tournament! If you bring more people, we assign more staff, and the quality of the event
stays at the top! As such, we can’t offer any discounts for groups fewer than 30.
Can we stay after the throwing time has finished?
Absolutely! We have a large, gorgeous lounge for you and your group to hang out in
after your throwing time is finished! We offer several other games as well, such as Giant
Jenga, Giant Connect 4, cornhole and darts!
What catering options are available?
Our ‘little bites’ menu provides tasty hot appetizers to keep the hunger at bay while you
throw axes, but if you’re looking for a full meal, we recommend bringing in your own
catering. We don’t charge any plating fee, but you’ll have to do your own legwork in
finding food for your crew. Need some extra help deciding on what to eat? Reach out
and we can help find you the food you want for a small added fee.
Is LumberJaxe Accessible?
Yes! Our main entrance is handicap accessible, as well as the rest of the facility
Axe Throwing 101
What's the minimum age to throw?
The minimum age to throw with us is 10. Ages 10-17 must have an adult present to
supervise, but the adult does not need to throw, just watch. There is also a different
waiver for minors, which requires the signature of the adult supervisor - you can find that
here.
What if I’ve never thrown an axe before?
Coaching is what we do! We’ll work through various types of throws and axe
weights to find one that works for you.
What if I’ve done this before and I don’t want to do X?
Typically we start with basic throws and games to get everyone comfortable with
our equipment and safety rules. Once you show mastery of that, we’re happy to
move to more advanced techniques, games, or you can just be left to throw if you
prefer!
Are the axes heavy?
No, each axe weighs between 2-3lbs. We do have a variety of styles, and we'll
find the one that best suits you!
What should I wear?
Closed toe shoes are a must. Wear comfortable, non-restricting clothes.
What options do you have for people with limited abilities?
Axe throwing is a great sport for anyone and does not rely on the strength or
speed of a person. Focus on technique and follow through and with a little
practice, you’ll be sticking the axe in no time.
Can I bring my own axe?
Maybe! The axe must be inspected and approved by the Manager. LumberJaxe
reserves the right to refuse the use of any axe that does not meet the safety
requirements.
