The axe throwing lanes offer various exciting games to play and compete with your friends and family. If you've never thrown an axe before, don't worry, one of their axe-perts will provide you with a brief lesson on the basic techniques of axe throwing before your axe-throwing session begins. If you have a large group or party, they have a private room with dedicated throwing lanes that you can rent out for special occasions or corporate events. This room is available for rent any day or time of the week. Moreover, if you prefer, they can bring the axe-kicking to you with their mobile axe-throwing trailer. There's so much more to come from Kickin Axes, and they look forward to seeing you soon.
