AXCELLENT ADVENTURES FAQ
Axcellent Adventures at Panama Rocks Scenic Park is an epic outdoor axe throwing arena! No prior experience is necessary. Our Axperts will teach you how to safely throw an axe and you can start having fun in just minutes! Whether you want to come by yourself, with a few friends, or a large group, axe throwing is something everyone can enjoy!
AXE THROWERS MUST BE AGE 11 OR OLDER AND WEARING CLOSED-TOE SHOES.
WHEN IS IT OPEN?: OPERATING STATUS: Panama Rocks is currently closed as we wait for guidance from New York State regarding whether we can safely open during the COVID-19 pandemic. The safety of our guests, family, and staff is our highest priority. When we do re-open, we will have plans and procedures in place to help protect the health and safety of everyone who visits Panama Rocks.
Is axe throwing safe? Safety is our top priority. Axcellent Adventures takes place in a safe throwing environment with fenced-off lanes and we strictly enforce safety rules. Guests are supervised by our Axpert coaches. For more info, check out our Safety Policy.
Should we make reservations? If possible, yes. Reservations are by target/lane and cost $80 for a party of up to four people for one hour (groups of eight or more are required for reservations after 5:00PM). Walk-ins are $20 per person for one-hour (when available). We recommend making your reservation to ensure your preferred time, but you can make a reservation online up to 48 hours before a throwing session if space is still available. You can book online (and read our Terms and Conditions).
Can we just walk in and throw? We recommend booking your event ahead of time to guarantee your spot; however, walk ins are accepted on a first come-first serve basis - every hour on the hour - from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm. We post walk-in availability online for the upcoming week.
Do you accept cash or credit? Axcellent Adventures staff only accepts credit or debit cards. If you need to use cash, you may visit the Panama Rocks main office, pay there, and return to the Axcellent Adventures throwing area with a pass from the park office.
Is there a dress code? All guests must wear closed-toe shoes and high heels are NOT allowed. There are no exceptions to this rule. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that will allow you to throw an axe easily. Flannel is not required but it will entertain our staff. Clothing with objectionable material, including violent or obscene language or graphics, may result in refusal of admittance.
What are the rules? The rules will be explained to you by your Axpert before you begin throwing. In addition to traditional axe throwing matches, we have other fun and unique games for you to try!
Should we tip? Tipping is not required, but it is greatly appreciated. If our Axperts do a great job, please feel free to tip.
What if we make a reservation and want to add or subtract people? Please email or call us. We will accommodate changes to your group if possible.
What if we have to cancel? You will pay a 25% deposit for your reservation at the time of booking (or you can pay the total balance if you wish). Please understand that we have limited slots available for guests at our facility and we maintain a strict cancellation policy for the benefit of our customers. A minimum notice of five (5) days is required for all cancellations or requests to reschedule in order for your 25% deposit to be refunded.
How many throwers can one lane hold? Each lane is designed to hold a maximum of four people at one time.
How old do you have to be to throw an axe? All participants must be age 11 or older, physically capable of throwing a two pound axe at the target with ease, and must follow our safety rules. Youth under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian (groups of teenagers need someone over the age of 18). If our staff determine that a guest cannot throw an axe safely, that guest will not be allowed to throw.
Can we drink alcohol and throw axes? You need to be sober to throw axes safely. We do not allow alcohol in our axe throwing facility and will refuse service to anyone who seems to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
