We’re BATL Axe Throwing, the original Backyard Axe Throwing League. Our mission is to show people the power of being good to each other, using the axe as a tool to build community inspired by our backyard roots. We’re immensely proud to have been the first organization in the world to offer an urban venue to experience the thrill of indoor axe throwing in leagues, walk-ins, group parties and team building.
ABOUT BATL AXE THROWING
BATL Axe Throwing pioneered the sport of urban axe throwing in a Toronto backyard in 2007 – 11 years ago. Since then we’ve grown 18 BATL venues across North America. Word spread like wildfire about the fun and satisfaction experienced when throwing an axe into our targets, and BATL Axe Throwing has a strong reputation as the original and best home of axe throwing.
We’ve hosted thousands of guests over the years, resulting in millions of axes thrown within our venue. As such, it’s no surprise that BATL Axe Throwing has played host to countless celebrity visits over the past years. The list is as varied as it gets, playing host to athletes, TV stars, movie stars, musicians, tastemakers, bloggers, writers – the list goes on.
Celebrities have visited both for filming (using our creatively designed industrial spaces as an epic backdrop) and to unwind by taking part in our private group bookings.
