So much fun! We went on a Thursday evening around 6pm and I think it was a great time to go. There were a couple other parties but it wasn't packed. Staff was friendly and clear when instructing. We could not get the smallest axe to stick though! It looked like the other parties had the same issue too but the other two larger axes were fun and stuck well. Definitely a cool experience and great location.
We checked the reviews and couldn't resist coming here after seeing everyone rave about this place. It was our first time ever axe throwing and truly - I don't think we could have picked a better place!! It was clean, the staff was friendly, the axe bullseyes were pretty easy to throw at (meaning the axes were sticking into the wood). I have heard some places are more difficult than others as the axes tend to fall off or won't stick unless it's hit just the right way. Glad that wasn't our experience especially for our first time. We also heard the staff say that they use old trees that were previously cut down or fallen from fires and such. Which we thought was a really cool way to repurpose them!! Their training was great as they helped us a lot giving us pointers and advice to get better as our time went on. They have 3 different axe options depending on the handle size and weight you are looking for! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!! Will be back many times if I go to Tahoe!!
Drinking beer throwing axes and oh yeah did I mention kicking everyone a sses what more can I ask for on a Sunday evening. Good beer selection. Good service. Prices are ok nothing to crazy.
Staff was super helpful and nice. The place was clean and in tiptop shape. My 8 yo and I had a blast throwing axes for the whole hour. Highly recommend!
Was recently up at South Shore for the day with my buddy, and we had the opportunity to head in and toss around a few woodworking implements. We'd both done axe throwing before at other spots, so a lot of our expectations were in measuring this place up to what we've done before. But the experience here at Yosemite really stood out and impressed us. Walking right in, it was a great sign to see many people already set up and having at it. The gentleman behind the desk was very polite and welcoming, and got us all situated with lanes, axes, and a rundown of the rules once we had signed the wavers. I think right at the start, what struck us most about this place is their use of actual rounds cut from actual tree trunks. Several of the other axe-throwing spots we've visited before often had targets built out of boards, or were lacking moisture in the wood, making them very difficult to get your axes to stick. Not so here. You get three different styles of axes to throw. And when they hit, they hit. And while we were focused on casually throwing the axes (and getting a decent arm workout in the process), you can certainly keep score, with chalk and score boards provided. What surprised us the most, though, was the price we paid. It was $30 per person when we went in, but that price got us a SOLID full hour. This really impressed my friend and I, since at other locations you may wind up with rather short sessions for the price you pay. So in a town as touristy as South Lake, I can really say this felt like a good activity to do if you're on the hunt for something novel to try out. Parking is relatively easy, since their lot is right next to their building. But as is the norm in Tahoe, things can get very busy and traffic insanely heavy, so watch out. It is also easy walking distance from both the Heavenly resort, and the Stateline casinos. As for availability; we were able to just walk in and sign up, but I did hear you can make reservations for time slots, too. We saw the place is kid-friendly for ages 8-and-up, so likely makes this a good spot for a family outing. There are a couple packaged snacks for sale, but no libations on offer, alas. And I got a good laugh at seeing the Lumberjack Games being broadcast on the TV by the counter, which goes perfectly well with the rest of the vibe they got going on. (Makes me wish I'd been wearing my Portland TImbers scarf.) All in all, I really had a great time at Yosemite. The fun times, good value, and very friendly service made it a great way to spend an hour or two. Definitely come test your chops, if you get a chance.
Never threw axes before so this was a first for us! Josh made the experience that much better! Friendly dude, gave us a few tips about local places to visit etc. It was a slow Saturday around 6pm, we had the place all to ourselves! Music was cool & to our surprise they served beer which I thought was awesome. Half of the beers they have are from a local brewery support small. Thanks Josh!
A great little space with around 10 stations for throwing axes. John does a great job corralling everyone, giving the safety briefing, and helping give some initial tips. There are a number of beers and non-alcoholic drinks available (which is kind of strange to combine alcohol with risk-of-death activities, but why not), and the axe throwing itself is fun and leisurely. My wife turns out to be quite good, and we had a great time. At $30/hr per person (pre-tip) it's a pretty reasonable price for a fun way to kill some time.
No frills axe throwing in South Lake Tahoe. First time I've thrown at what looks like a tree stump, and the axe seems to land and stick better than other places with cork or wood planks. Make a reservation and pay online before you show up. Be especially aware that when storms hit and the resorts are not fully open, people flock to indoor activities. We saw people turned away yesterday 12/27 when the big storm was here. I like that they don't serve food or alcohol here, as it would take away much needed space for axe throwing lanes. There's probably a dozen or so lanes of two or three people each, and 3 different sizes of axes to choose from. And to keep score, you use a small chalkboard. Again, no frills. That's how they probably keep the prices relatively low at $30 per person per hour. Would come back again sometime!
Well I could never be an axe murderer because it's a lot of work. We had a staff retreat here and it was awesome. Be careful for when that axe boomerangs back, too. Those waivers are in place for a reason We had a cookie contest on site and the attendant was fine with it. Five glittering stars from us

We were sad to have to come here. We were at Tahoe to ride the 72 mile lake loop on our e-bikes, but of course the weather got bad....hail, rain, snow, wind, so we had to find something indoor. We ended up having the best time! Discovered I have a future as an axe murderer. I'm pretty good at it! We were given excellent instruction, and it only took a few try's to get the hang of it. You can use their crocks if you are wearing sandals, there is a no open toe shoe rule. Weirdly, alcohol is served here. Not complaining, just wondering if that's the best idea. Def want to do this again and again and again. read more

Good to hear! Thanks for the review!!
So much fun! We came on a Sunday afternoon around 3:30 PM. We just walked in without an appointment, and there were a few lanes open for us! You must fill out a waiver, pay $30 per hour, and listen to 5 safety rules about axe throwing. It's nice they have three different axe sizes that you can throw! This was my first time doing anything like this before and I definitely had a hard time hitting the board. Our targets were very warn out and frayed... so it was harder to get the axe to stick compared to the newer targets in other lanes. (I also just wasn't very good at it, to be fair LOL) For $30 an hour, it's a pretty good deal! It's very easy to get tired and worn out after an hour. Overall, it was a really fun and memorable experience with my friend! read more

This is exactly as described, axe throwing. Nothing more, nothing less. The facilities are clean and Josh was friendly. You sign a waiver, pay $30 per person/hour, and throw axes. We went on a Sunday afternoon and they weren't super busy so we ended up throwing for a little over an hour. read more

There's a first time for everything. I've played an arcade version, but have been wanting to try real axe throwing for years. What do guys do on a guys trip to SLT? Guy stuff. And throwing sharpened metal objects at a huge wooden target qualified. At check-in, the woman working there was very nice and helpful. We signed a waiver then she gave us the lay of the land including instructions, how to score, tips and techniques on which size axe is best to throw for which type of shot, etc. We each got our own lane next to each other for $30 per hour. We started off taking turns and watching each other's throws and keeping score each round. There's no limit on how many axes you can throw so my recommendation is not to wait for your buddies, but to keep throwing and keeping your own score to compare at the end of each round. At the end, we felt like we got a little workout and had a great time. Kids eight and over can participate. read more

This place is awesome! First off, customer service is excellent. The people are so nice here! I don't know their names, but i spoke to a man on the phone, and then a woman helped us in person- they were both very genuinely sweet. The place/atmosphere itself is so fun! I've never been to an ax throwing place before, but from the pics I've seen of other locations, this one tops many. It was also very clean. I reserved the ax throwing for my husband for his bday and son. My daughter is too young, so we sat at the bar top tables and watched! All 4 of us were entertained the entire hour! The woman working gave my daughter one of the score keeping chalk boards and chalk so she had something to do. Even though my daughter and i were just the "score keepers", the woman working brought us over some axes to take a family pic with We all had a great time and i highly recommend this place! read more

We were in the area and decided to pop in and give axe throwing a shot. Upon entering we were helped right away and began throwing within minutes. It's $30 per person per hour, which seems pretty reasonable to me but this being my first time so I'm not sure if that's a typical rate or not for this sort of thing? An hour is just the right amount of time. I didn't catch the guys name that was in charge but he was super nice and offered to take photos at the end for us. We had a really good time:) read more
