Celebrating 2 Years Of BATL Niagara

Niagara Falls, Canada, doesn’t need any introduction. As one of the seven natural Wonders of the World, Niagara Falls is a destination year-round averaging 12+ Million visitors annually.

 First incorporated in 1903, the city of Niagara Falls may be famous for its namesake, but has been steadily growing as a top destination for more than just the falls.

Sure, it’s known as the honeymoon capital of Canada, but that’s not where it stops.


NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO

Niagara Falls is a favourite destination for young and old alike. Unlike many other destinations in the world, Niagara Falls has spots and attractions that cater to everyone’s tastes. With new attractions and events, Niagara Falls continues to grow and attracts more and more people throughout the year. If you’re looking for action and excitement, head down to Clifton Hills. Chalk full of museums, bars, casinos, restaurants, Ferris wheels, and much much more, it’s sure to keep you entertained for hours.

If you’re looking to get away from the lights, noise, and general chaos of Clifton Hill you’re in luck. Nature goes beyond the falls in the Niagara Region. The Niagara Escarpment runs through The United States and Canada, and offers spectacular views of nature around Niagara Falls – especially in the autumn when the fall leaves are at their brightest. The Niagara Escarpment is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, as it has the oldest forest ecosystem and trees in eastern North America. Up until a few years ago, the only thing missing in Niagara Falls was the unique urban axe throwing experience taking the rest of North America by storm since 2006. But that all changed in 2016.

Serving the entire Niagara Region – including Welland, St. Catherines and Fort Erie from the historic centre of Niagara Falls, BATL Axe Throwing Niagara is located less than five minutes from local attractions including Fallsview Casino, Casino Niagara, Clifton Hill and the Rainbow Bridge, as well as other local attractions such as wine country and Niagara on the Lake. Our intimate Queen Street location situated in the historic Woolworths building is perfectly situated for locals and visitors alike to participate in axe throwing leagues and private group tournaments.

BATL NIAGARA FALLS

We’re thrilled to have called Niagara home since November 2016. By January of 2017, BATL Axe Throwing had begun running leagues and had already played host to countless new axe throwers from both our private group bookings and public walk-in axe throwing sessions. Since then BATL Niagara has gone on to work with the community around us by taking part in charitable events, street festivals, and much more. We’re happy to be part of the community and can’t wait to see what the future has in store. If you haven’t visited us yet, BATL Axe Throwing offers multiple ways to get involved with our sport.

AXE THROWING LEAGUES

BATL Niagara’s axe throwing leagues run for 8 weeks, completely under the guidance of our resident axe gurus.

Each season consists of round-robin style tournament play, where you’ll throw 28 games against other people in the league, culminating in a top 16 double elimination playoff on week 8. Our leagues are suitable for people of all skill levels, with staff on hand at all times ready to give you tips and tricks to make sure that you’re hitting the bullseye. League play falls under the National Axe Throwing Federation (NATF) umbrella, the worlds foremost governing body of the sport of axe throwing (of which BATL is a founding member). Being part of the NATF also gives you access to the most advanced statistic tracking in the sport of urban axe throwing.

PUBLIC WALK-IN SESSIONS

If you’re looking for a casual way to get involved with the sport of axe throwing, this is for you. BATL Niagara offers public walk-in sessions (no reservations required) every weekend. It’s the perfect way to test the water when it comes to axe throwing, with little commitment. Our expert coaches are on hand to guide you the whole way, so whether you’re new to the sport or looking to hone in on your skill we’ve got you covered.

PRIVATE AXE THROWING GROUP EVENTS

BATL Niagara offers private axe throwing group bookings for groups of 2 and up, and are perfectly suited to adult birthday parties, corporate team building events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and much more. Our private events last 2-2.5 hours and are run in the safe and comfortable environment that BATL Axe Throwing has become famous for by our expertly trained staff, who also happen to be the best axe throwers in the planet. They will run you and your guests through training to ensure that you’re all sticking bullseyes before launching you into a round robin tournament, followed by a playoff (in order to crown a champion, of course).

A little friendly competition is a key to any outing with friends, and BATL Niagara also offers a fully licensed bar and food menu – so you can worry about throwing axes and leave the rest to us!
