First time visiting and we really enjoyed it. The employees have a quick tutorial and actually have pointers after a few throws. The employee then set up our score pads and the next thing you know, we were throwing bullseyes. Our appointment was at 11am and the kitchen doesn't open until 2pm. Otherwise we would've gotten food too, but we were done just in time for lunch. Great time for family, a date, or hanging with friends.
We had a wonderful experience! Our large group was wonderfully taken care of by Vinnie, Kaylee and Keaton. The food and drinks were really good, and we had a wonderful time with all the games available, including Axe throwing. So glad we found this spot for our team outing!

Took in a group of twelve and was well taken care of during our couple hours of drinks and dinner. Chicken strips and buffalo chicken pizza are solid choices. Highly recommend the prickly pear margarita
We had an absolutely fantastic time at Lumberjaxes Axe Throwing! We brought a friend from out of town who had never thrown an axe before, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure she had a great experience. Phoenix took the time to teach her the proper technique, and after just a few attempts, she nailed a bullseye—talk about a confidence boost! The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the atmosphere fun and engaging. On top of that, the prickly pear margaritas were delicious—a perfect way to celebrate our victories! Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, this place is a must-visit. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back for another round!
There weren't a lot of people when we went on a weekday right at opening time. So much fun for a date night. Our instructor was so patient and kind teaching us what to do. Would go again with friends.
