Welcome to The Slice! Your safety is our top priority. Please read and follow our safety guidelines to ensure a fun and secure experience for everyone.
Axe Throwing General Guidelines
1. Age Requirement:
- We do not have a minimum age, it is at parent's discretion. We find most 10 year old's are strong enough to throw our smaller hatchets but may struggle with our main house axes, which weigh 3 lbs and need to be thrown from a 12-foot throw line.
-Minors under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 16+ can throw without supervision but must be added to an adult's waiver that has been filled out and signed by the ADULT. Click here to sign our digital waiver.
2. Waiver and Registration:
- All participants must complete a digital waiver form before entering the throwing area that lasts one year from signing date.
- Parents or guardians must sign waivers for minors.
3. Clothing and Footwear:
- Closed-toe shoes are required for all participants.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement. Avoid loose or dangling clothing and accessories.
​
4. Food & Beverage:
- Given the nature of axe, knife & spike throwing, we are an unlicensed facility & no alcohol is sold on premises.
- Guests are welcome to come by after a meal or a few drinks elsewhere. If its clear you’ve had a bit too much to drink, you will be asked to sit out for safety reasons.
- Guests who book a private facility rental can apply for their own SLGA Special Occasion Permit & supply their own alcohol at their own risk, while abiding by SLGA's mandates. Liability for your group is on the permit holder and not The Slice.
