They now go by the name of Lumber Legends. I made my reservation online for a Sunday for two people. I've done axe throwing once and my friend was completely new to it. The guy helping us out was lovely. He alleviated my friend's concern of thr axe bouncing amd injuring her. He was also very knowledgeable about fixing our form so we could hit the targets. He was also happy to take photos for us so we could both be in them. After the instruction he ran us through some games. Over all we have a fantastic time. $25 for an hour is really not bad. I think this is something that would be great to do during the colder months when the weather can get terrible. Would definitely recommend! read more

My Fiancé and I have come here multiple times and each time has been wonderful. Made a reservation online and had no problem checking in. The staff is super friendly and explained everything and made sure we knew what to do. They have a bunch of different games to choose from and the time goes fast but it's fun! read more

We attended a corporate event here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! It was intimidating because I'm not generally athletic, but it was a BLAST! The staff was welcoming and made us feel comfortable. They trained us and supervised the entire time we threw our axes. They had several "competitions" set up, including a Bingo type event, a zombie event, and a warship event (which mimics an old timey game from the 70s). I can't wait to bring my friends here! They even have axe throwing leagues that you can join!!!! Thanks for the great experience! read more

I had the absolute pleasure of spending part of my birthday weekend here. I planned in advance by calling and setting up my reservation. The process was super easy. They allowed me to add guests closer to the date. When my party arrived, it was a painless process. We all were able to complete our waiver online prior to arriving. Our host was "Your Axellency". She is fantastic! Our entire group of 9 was first timers. She walked us through it all seamlessly. Everyone is eager to put another game night together soon. I'm so happy I chose this establishment for my birthday and cannot wait to return! read more

Cleveland Axe Throwing - Axe Throwing Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

What a thrill! Get the right group together and it'll be a blast. I was nervous about how the experience would be, but I ended up having such a good time, both with friends and the strangers on our lane. For purchasing tickets/reserving a time: I bought a Groupon (discounts, yay!!) for 6 people - One 90-Minute Axe Throwing Session for Six. It was simple to register on the Class Axe Throwing website as there as specific instructions for those with a Groupon code to redeem. Keep in mind that there are some fees associated when you register, but Groupon frequently has deals for a certain percentage off an activity, to offset those costs. Each lane can hold up to 12 people, so if you want to bring a group in you might want to have one person book it online (or call about their private event reservations). If the lane is booked, with only a few people from your party, you'll be mixed with other strangers - don't worry! It should be fun, so long as nobody gets extremely competitive or is a sore loser. Axe throwing: Pro tip - come ready with a pun-worthy lumberjack name for yourself. I scrambled last minute but eventually came up with "Professor Axe". Our lane had all 12 spots booked, so my party of 6 was mixed with another party of 6. Our instructor, or better known as our "Axe-pert" (Sir Axe-a-lot), split us off into two teams (also think of a team name), and carefully went through how the next hour or so would go. Not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous. Sharp objects and casual BYOB over in the back with strangers? Usually, I'd go running in the opposite direction, NOT paying to go! Our instructor was very VERY clear as to how we were to handle the axes and when we were allowed to throw or retrieve our axes from the target (or, more often, the ground). One person from each team, in order, goes up and throws to their respective target. There are two type of throws: using one or two hands. The instructor was very attentive after each one of us threw to give us advice to be successful in sticking the target. Things like when to release, or how to hold the axe - all of which were so helpful, that all of us were able to improve in the span of a few throws. After we had each thrown a few, we started the competition. We did 2 different team games vs each other and then a free-for-all where each person had 10 throws and the highest score won! I want to note, that by that point, most people had at least hit the board or gotten a bulls eye! If you didn't, the instructor pulled you aside to let you throw a few on an empty lane while he gave you tips. With 12 people there, I was very happy to see that he was so attentive and made sure everyone was having a good time, even if that meant sticking the board at least once. They were also very generous when people hit the line for the bulls eye - each person got a photo with their accomplishment! I think they post them on their facebook website shortly after. All in all, I'd highly recommend this activity for group events! You can bring your own beer (please be safe about it!!!) and they even have mini fridges to keep it cool for you as you play. I'm already thinking of the next time I can get a group to go!! So much fun! They still have Groupons available, so check there first for a discount! read more

Class Axe Throwing is a pretty good way to spend 90 minutes with your buds! First off, the location in Valley View is nice because there are cool places to eat/drink nearby like Oak Barrel or Quaker Steak/Lube. We went out to eat and get a few drinks before ax throwing and I highly recommend it. The building itself is kind of tucked away, but there's a decent sized private parking lot out front and we had no trouble finding a spot. I'm not 100% sure if this location is BYOB, but you can bring food/snacks in - check the website for details. Also make sure to check groupon for discounts and deals. They also make a big deal about showing up on time for your scheduled time, but they were running a little late for our session (10-20 minutes). The woman who ran our axe throwing was pretty cool and knowledgeable! She was experienced in how to teach people how to throw safely and effectively. They love axe puns here, which is fun. There's good energy. There are 3-4 axe throwing ranges in total in the back. There's a little bench with a barstools and chairs so you can watch your friends throw. The person running it also takes photos when you get a bullseye, as well as pictures of everyone throwing. They post them on facebook 2-3 days after your throwing. The event itself is fun - you get time to practice and the person running it has a couple of games for your group to play and facilitates a mostly friendly, lightly competitive atmosphere. If you don't buy all the spots for the time slot, you might end up with some other people who have signed up for the same slot, which is fine. My only complaint is that there was no host/hostess at the door to greet us and tell us they were running late or what was going on, or what to do. Someone popped their head into the waiting room/lobby after 10 minutes to tell us it would be another 10-15 minutes before our group got to go in. Additionally, the person running our group's ax throwing occasionally came off a little rude and awkward at some points throughout the evening. Overall, this is a great way to spend a few hours with your buddies or family and get some frustration out while learning how to do something different. It's a great, worthwhile memory. They also have pretty cool t-shirts for sale. read more

Came here on 6/17/22. Overall 10/10! What a great experience! Our host/ trainer was absolutely amazing! Great sense of humor, absolutely loved teaching , and got super excited when the our kids made the axe stick! Took time to explain everything, this experience was excellent! We truly enjoyed ourselves, and the staff here! Would absolutely recommend!!!! read more

The location is very unassuming. You would, and probably will drive past this place the first time you go if you're not hawking for it, but it is worth seeking out. Fun for work outings, friends or probably even a fun date option that combines athleticism, competitive spirit, a chance for bloopers, and an element of danger. The instructor/guide that we had was excellent. The space is situated well inside, and the pricing is fair. Based on what I hear about expanding the space I'm eager to go back. read more

Cleveland Axe Throwing - Lumberlord - Axe Throwing Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

SO, I turned 50 this year, and for my birthday, we went Axe Throwing. (Yeah, I'm weird, so sue me.) Anyway, if you've ever wanted to do something unique, then COME ON DOWN TO CLASS AXE!! We had a two hour session that saw us split into teams and learning how to toss tomahawks with skill...mostly...okay, it took awhile, but we had lots of fun! Costs are about 30 bucks a person, you get two hours and unlimited axes, as well as fine teaching by the staff. It's a great place for team building, family outings and a way to cook off some steam. The parking lot is small, but not too bad, and their little place in the valley is a "blink and you'll miss it" location. Also, they have an Escape Room that you can try, which we didn't have time for, but it sounds like a blast. So, if you want to keep your skills "sharp", then here's the facts; spend some time at Class Axe! read more

Cleveland Axe Throwing - Lumberlord! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

What a fun place to learn how to axe throw and get involved in an activity which is slowly becoming popular in Cleveland. The staff member who explained all the rules of axe throwing to us was very friendly and helped us along the way, helping us to better each throw. Who knew axe throwing can be so competitive?! The Class Axe Throwing facility also has an escape room connected, which is great place for those who want to have a variety of activities to do. It's tucked away in the depths of Valley View, but well worth the drive! read more

Look, if you had one toss, one axetunity. Wood you capture it out just let it slip away? Knees weak, axe heavy, wood chips on his sweater, mom's axeghetti. Tonight, in search of date night bonding and reasonably priced family fun, we took advantage of a valuable Groupon offer and attended axe throwing class at Class Axe. What a great time! The instructor was great fun, and the hour and a half session flew by! We were paired with other students, and received instruction and then played axe games such as cricket. There was much opportunity for wonderful axe puns, but you had to be pretty sharp to get them all. We will definitely be back again! read more

I went here with a group of 5 and it was such a great experience! When we got there they told us to come up with an axe throwing name and then put us with another group so we could play as teams. Our instructor was very outgoing and led us through three separate games all while assisting us in throwing and even making fun, axe-puns! While the teams throw, the instructor takes photos that will later be posted to their Facebook page so you can capture memories with friends and family and your first axe thrown bullseye! I am axe-cited to return again soon! read more

Cleveland Axe Throwing - Bullseye at Class Axe Throwing! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

This was SO fun! I went with a friend and was thrown in with a larger group. They prefer groups of 6+ and each session is around an hour and a half. We were actually pushed back a half an hour to accommodate this. They called ahead and arranged the change. They spent the first half an hour or so training us on what to do and the different styles of throwing. Our trainer was super funny, patient and friendly. We got to choose fun team names and play different common games with the axes like blackjack. The experience costs a little over $30 a person. After our time there, we were given $5 off for our next experience and the coupon doesn't expire! And the best part, it's BYOB! I will definitely be going back. read more

I thought this place was called Cleveland Axe Throwing, but I think they changed their name to Class Axe Throwing? I found a Groupon for 4 people to try axe throwing for 90 minutes for $95.95, but then you have to go schedule your date/time on the website and pay an extra $20.72 for taxes and fees? I really hate that. Just give me one price don't say it's one thing then slip in extra charges. So anyway it came out to $29.17 a person. Day of we show up and find out that the 4 of us will be sharing a lane with 7 other people. I think they do up to 12 per lane. There are 3 lanes. Not a problem, we just split into two groups and everyone got along. So throwing axes is pretty fun, especially when you compete against others with fun games like first team to 40, or who can spell Timber first, or best throws out of 10. But before the fun starts you'll spend about an hour learning the rules and axe throwing techniques (two handed overhead, one handed) - hitting the bullseye on a large target is definitely not as easy as you first think. After the training bit is over you get about 30 minutes of actual play time. In our case we were the last group of the night so our time went over a little bit which I appreciated them allowing. A good thing though is that if everyone in the entire group has already done axe throwing they will shorten the training period next time you come in so that you have more play time. Also, I liked the music they were playing. A big negative for me though was the lack of A/C on a hot humid July night. They had a garage door open and a couple wall fans but that barely helped. If you're a person who heats up easily like me then I would not recommend coming here during the summer. Stick with cooler weather unless you like damp clothing and smelling sweaty bodies. Another issue I had was with picture taking. Actually, my issue is with the lady who gave me a hard time when I asked if they would not take my picture. I get it, you want to promote your business and share pictures of people throwing axes at your establishment on Facebook. I know lots of people don't care and will model for you all you want. Me though, I like pictures of myself to stay as personal/private as possible. Big group picture? No problem, I will be in the back, but I don't want singled out pictures of me for strangers all over the interwebs to look at. I get that I signed a waiver in order to do this axe throwing activity, but can't you respect my wishes and not photograph me? I did not care for this lady, but the guy instructing our group was great and had no problem not snapping shots of me. He was a lot more chill and understanding. So all in all, I think new experiences are great so I would suggest this to everyone, just hopefully my review prepares you better for what you're getting into. I would try it again in the winter. Also note that you need to sign the waiver electronically in advance and that alcohol is allowed but for private parties only and it's BYOB. I do wonder what they do with all of the wooden boards that get hacked up? Seemed like they replace them every day. read more

All the puns you can imagine play a role in this experience, so if you can't hang with corny jokes, you'll likely be axed. I couldn't have ever imagined I'd be axe throwing in the center of a weird Ohio snow storm, but I forgot it was even coming down outside while we escaped into our Lumberdome. We split into two teams and got to compete in a series of three games, all slightly different than the last. I really liked "TIMBER" which was the equivalent to HORSE for basketball. You're going down... I'm yelling timber... you better move (literally) you better dance. Our host was very animated and spirited while also knowledgeable, all key components of an axe throwing instructor. There are two different styles of throws you can take... the two handed over the head and the one handed from your palm. I stuck with the one handed for this experience because it was more natural but I would have loved to do the two handed a bit more... maybe during a practice session. What's even more mind boggling is that this facility is BYOB. Beer and wine accepted! No hard alcohol! We got to sip on our brewskis all while tossing some heavy wood. Now that's what I call a fun Saturday night! I'd definitely like to come back for some more axe throwing but also to try the Escape rooms. Big fan of solving mysteries. read more

My friend and I purchased a Groupon for this place. It was 23 dollars to throw axes for 90 minutes! It was a lot of fun. We got a very good demonstration as well as a long, adequate amount of time to practice. Our group then split into teams and played a couple of different games all lead by the instructor. She was funny as well as informative. It is BYOB if that is your thing. Some people in our group were drinking. It was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be even with alcohol added. It's a good amount of action and watching that would be ideal for mingling with really good friends or people you are getting to know. Would definitely do it again. Get a funny nickname ready! read more

Super fun. Four of us went and we were added to a group of others (so if you're concerned about not having a group or lot of people around... don't worry about it). Spent about 15-20 minutes learning to throw. Then we split into teams and had a friendly competition. You can bring booze, but it's best to bring beer and little bottles of wine as it's kinda crowded and you don't want to worry about a glass of wine. It's easy to do. The hour and a half goes fast and you'll meet cool folks. Definitely recommend. read more

Such a unique and fun experience!! To be honest, I was a little nervous about this because I didn't know if I'd be able to throw the axe. But I definitely could! Our instructor, D-M-Axe, was awesome. He explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. We went as a work outing and it ended up being a perfect activity to do with coworkers! You create your own punny axe name and can bring your own snacks and drinks. The group watches while 2 people throw. They give you different games and you compete in teams or with everyone. It was so fun and finally getting the axe in the target was the best feeling! (It took me a bit to do that.) I will definitely be back. read more

Cleveland Axe Throwing - Axe Throwing Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

This is one of the most fun dates I've ever been on with my boyfriend! We were searching for things to do and he found a Groupon for this place. I had heard of it from people at work and I have always wanted to try it. The building itself is pretty hidden and not well marked, so it can be easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. We made a reservation online for 10pm on a Friday. The lanes can accommodate up to 12 people each, so we were expecting more people to sign up for this time slot. But oddly, we were the only people signed up for this time, and we were perfectly ok with it. We got there about 10 minutes early and our instructor took us right back. He went pretty quickly through the safety and proper techniques to throw, but that was ok with us because it gave us more time to practice and perfect our throws. It is difficult and intimidating at first, but our instructor was very encouraging and carefully watched us throw and offered us constructive advice to improve! On my first throw, I got the axe to stick and it was a bullseye! Since we were the only two, we got to take as much time as we wanted/needed since we had the reservation for 90 minutes. We then went on to play games. One was "Timber", kinda like "Horse" in basketball, tic tac toe, etc. it got tiring after a while, but we were able to take short breaks as needed. By the end of the night, we didn't even have to think about it, we were just throwing and having a great time! Do yourself a favor and get your friends/family/coworkers to come out and do this for an evening! The Groupon is a great deal and it is truly a fun and unique experience. I would like to come back and do it again! read more

Cleveland Axe Throwing - Party - Axe Throwing Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

While this place had potential, I absolutely cannot recommend it. The employee with whom we checked in immediately thought it a good idea to tell us he had just recovered from Covid (totally unprompted). He then proceeded to obnoxiously lecture and belittle one of our party members who was having trouble filling out the wavier form. While not a good start - we assumed this person would simply show us to our station and leave so we carried on. Unfortunately this was not the case. He remained with us the entire time. Other employees were doing the same with other parties at other stations so assume it was required for safety. That said, this employee totally ruined the experience. In additional to coughing profusely throughout the evening (keep in mind he just informed us that he had COVID) while standing only a foot away to oversee us throwing the axes, he also continued his obnoxious tendencies the entire evening. One of our party members left. The best part of the evening was when he stepped outside for a few minutes for a cigarette break. Finally a few moments of relief. To the extent anyone is concerned with COVID protocols (I'd even classify myself as more on the cavalier side) or wants to avoid being paired with an obnoxious employee for their entire experience - avoid this place at all costs. read more

Excellent experience! Chip was our expert axe thrower and instructor and was super detailed and a lot of fun. He was always super lively and knew how to help each player throw better than they had before. The actual axe throwing was so much fun and a pretty simple concept to get the hang of. We bought shirts at the end, and he gave us coupons for $5 off our next visit. Overall an awesome time and will definitely be read more

I made a reservation online for 4 people since I had family in town. Overall it was a good experience and I would go back again with a larger group. Pros: BYOB Fun event to try (better than sitting at a bar and an interesting way to meet a new group of people) Online waiver was easy to fill out Cons: Expensive (taxes alone are $20-30) I assumed we would have our own lane and play with each other but the instructor paired us up with a larger group. It was fun but I think we would've preferred to play amongst ourselves and have a close knit family night. I wish there was an option to do so and not be forced to merge with another group. (The group that joined us felt the same way- they came to play with their friends and not us. It was fun and everyone was chill and respectful but having never played before I believe everyone had the expectation that they would "have their own lane.") read more

Called no one answered they when we drove to check it out anyway bc there website said they were open we got a lot of dirty looks super uncomfortable asked the desk if we had to make like a reservation or if they took walk ins they scoffed and said well we prefer you make a reservation but we might be able to get you in with another group at 9pm it was 2pm when we showed up redic seems like a bunch bunch of elderly hipsters and and business types were in here all in all I wouldn't go there again read more

So let's be honest... i'm not into weapons of any kind so I was actually really nervous to do this. lol But here we were and there was no backing out and by the end of it, I was really enjoying it! It does seem a little unorganized here but they got the job done. The only thing that I didn't love was that they put you in groups with other people. There were 6 of us and another group of 4 which made it kind of awkward and made it so our group (and theirs) got way less throws than if we could've been alone. Overall, a really fun time! read more

This place was a lot of fun and good atmosphere. I would go back. Just bring a group up to 12!

This place was awesome. We went with a group of 7 of us and our instructor was Tyler. He took his time with us and really showed us some great stuff. If you want something different to do that's a ton of fun then I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you are a group that wants to have some drinks while you do activities as well then they also allow BYOB but no liquor just so you know ahead of time. Thank you again to Tyler and we all look forward to coming back to throw some axes when were in the area!! read more

Had a great time and wonderful instruction by Taxen Raider. Got to play some games and build up some competition.

Joe was an amazing host for our party of 6! He made it so much fun and definitely made us feel comfortable. Go! He's incredible!

Visiting a friend in Cleveland and she suggested checking out this place. We attempted to call to make a reservation...nobody answered after several phone calls. We even left a voicemail, which was never returned. Soooo - we figured we'd stop in and take our chances. There were no other customers there and they said that all the spots were reserved for the next 2 hours. Once again there was nobody there. The manager then asked us to submit a complaint regarding the Customer Service team not answering the phone. Considering there was only one employee there, I assume there was no Customer Service team. Not only was this request bizarre, but she was also terribly rule. Overall...GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Throw an axe in your backyard. read more
