Victoria- Forged Axe Throwing - FAQ
Things to know!
What Is Axe Throwing?
Axe throwing is a really fun, social, and satisfying way to spend some time while you’re in Victoria. It’s a great activity for for any size group 2-40 people & 10 years old to throw!
Our hosted sessions, at Forged will teach you everything you need to know, and you will not believe how satisfying it is when you hit your first bullseye!
-
Yes. Our sessions at Forged are hosted by our team of trained staff. Your session will include a safety briefing, axe throwing instruction, trick shot instruction, games, and scoring.
-
For sure! We love a cheer squad, friends or family are more than welcome to watch and cheer for no cost.
-
Yes. You must be over 10 years old to participate and have a legal guardian accompanying you if you’re under 19. While we’ll make every effort to ensure young players are having a good time, it’s possible that your 10-year-old might not have the strength needed to make it happen.
-
If you are late, we will always try our best to keep you to your booked time, but if this interferes with anyone else’s experience, Forged staff reserve the right to re-book your session to another time.
The best way to avoid this is to show up 15 minutes early so you can sign in, and you’ll be ready to go!
-
Yes, we have stereo that will be pumping music while you’re throwing. If you have any special requests please let us know and we can probably accommodate.
-
Yes. Although every activity has its own risks the way that we run our sessions is extremely safe. Since opening for business in 2017 we have taught hundreds of thousands of people how to throw axes safely without incident.
-
Yes we do! We have a full liquor licence and serve beers, ciders, coolers, highballs, and cocktails.
-
We have pizzas available to order from Prima Strada pizzeria. If you would like to bring in additional food or a cake you’re more than welcome to!
-
Oh yeah, you can! Rock those shorts and show off those sweet leg gainz you’ve been working on! As long as you wear closed-toe shoes and your attire isn’t horribly offensive to us, you’re welcome to be comfortable!
-
No. We love hosting awesome axe throwers who are over 10 years old, but if they’re under 19, they do need to be accompanied by at least one chaperone for the group. We’re awesome axe throwers but not great baby sitters.
If you have children under 10, they’re more than welcome to hang out at Forged while you throw some axes, but they’ll be unable to participate in the activity. It is loud at Forged, so wearing earplugs is a good idea. We do have child sizes available, but they won’t fit everyone.
Unattended children will be fed Red Bull, taught how to chop down furniture, given an axe, and let loose in your living room.
-
Yes, we do! The most popular gift certificates are for our Small Party, Large Party, or XL Party bookings.
These gift certificates are perfect for bachelor parties, office holiday parties, father’s day, or any other time you want to let someone know that they kick ass!
-
All the time! It really depends on how many people are coming down, but maybe once a day on a busy day. We go through thousands of feet of wood, and when they’re done, they make awesome firewood!
