If you’re searching for a high-impact attraction to enhance your entertainment center, look no further than Cutting Edge Axe Throwing. As the leading builder of turnkey axe throwing lanes, we help businesses like yours unlock new revenue streams, reach broader audiences, and make better use of existing space.

One of our recent installs at Xtreme Hopp in Johns Creek, Georgia, is a prime example of how axe throwing installation can help a facility bounce back stronger.

Axe Throwing: A Smart Post-COVID Recovery Move

Xtreme Hopp, a trampoline park offering jumping zones and obstacle courses, faced temporary closure during the COVID-19 pandemic. While evaluating options to diversify their offerings and draw in a more mature audience, the owners saw an opportunity: axe throwing.

They reached out to Cutting Edge to design and install four custom axe throwing lanes—and it’s already paying off.

Designed for Impact. Built for Safety.

Our team designed the lanes to complement Xtreme Hopp’s brand, complete with:

• RGB lighting for an immersive glow-in-the-dark effect

• Custom marquee signage to match the park’s vibrant aesthetic

• Full-sized enclosed fencing to ensure spectator safety and peace of mind for players

These four lanes transformed underutilized space into a high-energy, adult-friendly attraction that helps extend dwell time and increase food and drink sales.

Why Axe Throwing Works for Family Entertainment Centers

Axe throwing is one of the fastest-growing entertainment trends. It requires minimal space, appeals to both beginners and competitive players, and integrates easily into most facilities. Whether you’re a trampoline park, bowling alley, or multi-attraction center, axe throwing gives your business an edge.

At Xtreme Hopp, the results are clear: increased revenue, a more diverse customer base, and a stronger post-pandemic recovery.

We’re thrilled to announce that Cutting Edge Axe Throwing has completed axe throwing lane installations at three Spins Bowl locations across the Midwest—bringing even more energy, variety, and revenue potential to these already popular entertainment venues.

The new lanes have been successfully installed in:

• Akron, Ohio

• Independence, Ohio

• Waterford, Michigan

Each of these locations now features custom-designed, turn-key axe throwing lanes, built to enhance the guest experience and help Spins Bowl tap into one of the fastest-growing entertainment trends in the U.S.

Why Bowling + Axe Throwing is a Winning Combination

Axe throwing is the ideal attraction to pair with bowling. It appeals to a broader demographic, adds excitement to group outings, and boosts food and drink sales while guests spend more time on-site. More importantly, it uses minimal space and offers maximum impact—making it a smart move for operators looking to increase revenue without a full facility overhaul.

Spins Bowl Akron, OH – 6 Lanes of High-Energy Entertainment

Akron, the fifth-largest city in Ohio, is now home to six Cutting Edge axe throwing lanes inside the Spins Bowl facility. These lanes are installed near the bar area, creating a vibrant atmosphere that seamlessly integrates with bowling, arcade games, and food service.

This location is a perfect example of how axe throwing can be implemented in high-traffic zones to engage adults, families, and party-goers looking for more than just bowling.

Spins Bowl Independence, OH – 7 Lanes in a Reimagined Space

Just outside Cleveland in the city of Independence, we transformed an underutilized section of the arcade into a 7-lane axe throwing arena. By repurposing this extra space, Spins Bowl added a whole new attraction without needing to expand or remodel their building.

With bowling, laser tag, a full bar and kitchen, arcade games, and now axe throwing, the Independence location offers something for every age and interest—all under one roof.

Spins Bowl Waterford, MI – Axe Throwing Inside a Converted Party Room

Located less than an hour from Detroit, the Waterford Spins Bowl facility now features 8 custom axe throwing lanesinstalled by the Cutting Edge team. We converted a spare party room into a fully functional axe throwing arena—showing again how flexible and space-efficient this attraction can be.

Long before axe throwing became a mainstream activity in bars and FECs, Cutting Edge was already building professional-grade lanes for commercial spaces. Our mission has always been simple: deliver top-tier axe throwing systems that are safe, visually impressive, and built for long-term business success.

Since then, we’ve completed installations nationwide in a wide variety of settings:

• Bowling alleys seeking new revenue streams

• Trampoline parks targeting older audiences

• Multi-attraction venues looking to diversify

• New startups building axe throwing-focused businesses

Wherever we go, the results speak for themselves: more revenue, longer guest stays, and a more dynamic entertainment experience.

Why Axe Throwing?

If you’re still exploring why axe throwing makes sense for your business, here are just a few reasons venues across the country are adding it to their facilities:

🔹 High ROI in Small Spaces

Axe throwing requires far less square footage than many traditional attractions. In fact, many of our clients repurpose spare party rooms, empty arcade areas, or bar-adjacent space to house 2–8 lanes. It’s one of the most efficient revenue-generating uses of your facility.

🔹 Appeals to Teens & Adults

Unlike many family-focused attractions, axe throwing brings in young adults, corporate groups, date nights, and birthday parties. These guests tend to stay longer, spend more on food and drinks, and return for repeat visits.

🔹 Boosts Food & Beverage Sales

Many of our installations are placed near bar areas to encourage longer hangouts and higher per-capita spending. Axe throwing pairs well with casual drinks, making it a strong driver for kitchen and bar revenue.

🔹 Enhances Group Experiences

From corporate team building to bachelor/bachelorette parties and everything in between, axe throwing is a high-energy, social experience. It gives guests something new and exciting—and turns your venue into a go-to destination.

Every business owner wants an attraction that’s fun, safe, and profitable. Axe throwing is all three—and our clients consistently see strong returns on their investment.

We’ve installed lanes at trampoline parks that were struggling to attract adults, bowling centers that wanted to modernize, and startup venues looking to open with a competitive edge. In each case, our lanes have helped clients:

• Increase foot traffic

• Extend guest visit duration

• Boost food & beverage sales

• Generate buzz on social media and local press

How to Know If Axe Throwing Is Right for Your Facility

Still not sure if axe throwing is the right fit? Here are a few signs it could be a great addition:

• You have underused space that isn’t currently driving revenue

• Your existing attractions skew heavily toward younger children

• You’re looking to increase revenue per square foot

• You want an attraction that’s easy to maintain

• You want something unique and sharable to drive marketing

If any of those sound familiar, let’s talk. We’ll walk you through the process, provide sample layouts, and help you assess your space with no pressure.

Axe Throwing Is Growing—Don’t Get Left Behind

This isn’t just a passing trend. Axe throwing has evolved into a national pastime for millennials, Gen Z, and adult groups looking for something different. As more entertainment centers adopt it, those without it risk falling behind.

But the key isn’t just offering axe throwing—it’s offering a safe, professional-grade, visually impressive setup that guests will talk about, post about, and come back for. That’s what Cutting Edge delivers.
