Whistler - 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 Whistler. It’s a great activity for for any size group 2-60 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. 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 do! We are a fully licensed venue and we have beer, wine, coolers, ciders and other beverages available for purchase. We have champange sabering & shot skis as well!
-

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! PS: we do have some shoes if you or anyone in your party forgets!
-
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.

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 for our fireplace! We sell bundles of it when we have extra as well!
