One of the newest entertainment trends to sweep the nation is axe throwing, and you can experience this exciting activity right here in Pigeon Forge! If you are unfamiliar with this wild craze, axe throwing is a game that is similar to darts where you attempt to throw your axe into the bullseye of a target! While it may sound intimidating at first, we guarantee you’ll be hooked once you learn the safety rules and get the hang of it! Here are 4 Pigeon Forge attractions where you can experience axe throwing:
The Pigeon Forge Axe House offers the ultimate adventure for someone looking to step a bit outside of their comfort zone, so get your adrenaline pumping with this unique sport! Just like darts and archery, axe throwing is very safe when you follow the instructions and safety detailed by the axe coaches. The best part is that this activity is fun for the entire family and there are no age restrictions, so your kids can participate as long as they can safely throw an axe!
