Axe Throwing Overview
Min Age
16*
Duration
30 / 60 mins
Axe Throwing is normally available to participants aged 16 years and over. However, we are currently running a trial at three locations – Aberfoyle, Coventry and Matfen– where participants aged 12–15 can also take part, provided they are supervised by an adult. All participants receive a safety briefing from a trained instructor who remains present throughout the session.
One adult over 18 years can supervise up to eight children aged 12–15 years (at Aberfoyle, Coventry and Matfen). Supervising adults can take part in the activity or supervise from the side, but they must remain present for the duration of the session.
At Black Park, Bracknell, Leeds Castle and Southampton, the minimum age remains 16, and there isn't a supervision requirement.
Safety and Training
In 2025, for the seventh year in a row, we've been recognised as leaders in health and safety practice, receiving the RoSPA Gold Leisure Safety Award. This is the highest possible achievement in the UK's longest-running health and safety industry awards, recognising our dedication to safety and excellence.

Axe Throwing Reviews
For the safety of both mother and child, Go Ape strongly recommends that pregnant women do not take part in our adventures.
Our adventures are robust physical activities involving climbing, balancing, and zipping, which naturally carry a degree of risk. While we don't want to be discriminatory, we are not medical experts.
We strongly encourage you to seek advice from your doctor before deciding to participate.
If, after consulting your doctor, you choose to proceed, we will require you to formally declare your pregnancy to a staff member and sign a specific disclaimer acknowledging that:
"I have made Go Ape aware that I am pregnant and, as a result, Go Ape has recommended that I do not take part on the course. However, I have decided to take part on the course in the full knowledge that this may incur risks to my unborn child."
We want you to have a safe and wonderful experience, so please prioritise medical advice when making this decision!
We have produced this handy guide on staying safe at Go Ape in hot weather. Please have a read through to prepare for your adventure.
Go Ape is an excellent wet weather activity. Our courses are substantially sheltered from rain and wind by the trees themselves so as long as you are appropriately dressed for the weather you should still have great memories of your experience. The course remains open in all weathers, except thick ice, thunderstorms and gales. Rain makes the course muddier than usual which can add to the fun, but you might want dry clothes to change into for the journey home.
If we have to close for unsafe weather conditions, we will offer you a refund, credit note or reschedule your booking. If unsafe weather is forecasted we will aim to make the decision as early as possible, and will do our best to contact you to try and save you a wasted journey.
