NY Axe – Farmingdale

The only space on Long Island that utilizes a digital range, NY Axe allows guests to change the throwing field. Instead of the traditional targets painted on wood, this experience can project targets and games like tic-tac-toe, Connect 4, and more onto the throwing area. There are 10 digital lanes in all, plus a private room that can accommodate up to 16 people and has four lanes. An "axpert" teaches you safety and throwing techniques. Two axe sizes are available to accommodate smaller hands. If you're planning a party, there's a separate space with a big-screen TV, a modular dance floor, and lounge-style seating. "Safe archery" (with Velcro-style tips) is in the works, plus food service. Axe-throwing is limited to guests over the age of 11.

Axe Kicking Entertainment – Mineola

The axe experts at Axe Kicking Entertainment are eager to share their throwing techniques and prowess with guests. They'll have you hitting a bullseye in no time. This unique space also offers Football Bowling (toss a football at—you guessed it—bowling pins from 33-feet away), Stick-It Archery (channel your inner Robin Hood with these magnetic tipped arrows that have Velcro-covered discs), Plate Smashing (throw baseballs to see if you can smash 10 plates in less than 15 minutes), and Game Show (get your buzzer hands ready for this live experience with unpredictable, but family-friendly games). All experiences are private and for your party only. Families with children ages 8 and older can enjoy some or all of the activities offered; axe-throwing is for ages 10+ only.

Axe & Smash — Mattituck

Nestled in the corner of a large shopping center, Axe & Smash boasts both outdoor and indoor seating for folks to gather as a meeting point. This movie house turned entertainment zone repurposed theaters for interactive, immersive fun. For axe throwing, up to six people can reserve one of the four throwing bays for 60-90 minutes. Projected targets on wooden chopping blocks offer various games, where even novice tossers will be hitting a bullseye by the end of a session. Safety is paramount here, so be sure to heed the instructor's advice. Kids ages 12 and older can toss axes, while under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Guests with children under age 12 can also reserve a lane that uses rubber axes and targets.
