Philly keeps coming back to Chopper's. Here is why.

"This is a MUST DO activity. Don was super supportive of my two guests who never threw an axe before. By the time we left, both were hitting the bullseye and we all had a blast."

"My sisters and I had a great time. We were the last group and got there late, and they were understanding and supportive. Would go back. It is BYOB, just so you know."

Good to know

A few things before you throw

It is BYOB

Bring your own beer and wine. Fridges are on site to keep everything cold.

Closed-toe shoes required

Every thrower needs closed-toe shoes. Dress comfortably for an active night.

Photo ID at check-in

Anyone over 18 needs a photo ID that matches the waiver you sign after booking.

Booking ahead is best

Walk-ins are welcome during open hours, but reserving your lane guarantees a spot. A small deposit holds it and applies to your balance.

Frequently axed questions

Everything you want to know

Not at all. Every session includes a coach who walks your whole group through technique and safety. First-timers are usually sticking the board within a few throws.
Yes. Bring your own beer and wine. It is beer and wine only, no spirits or liquor. Outside food is welcome too, and we keep refrigerators on site so everything stays cold. Please note that ice and coolers are not allowed.
Closed-toe shoes are required for every thrower, so dress comfortably for an active night. Bring a photo ID for anyone over 18, and every thrower signs a waiver before throwing.
When you arrive, you check in, sign your waiver, and settle into the lounge. Your coach then covers safety and technique and gives you some practice throws before your group heads to its assigned arena.
Yes. Children 13 and under throw free with a paying adult. Restrictions apply: one free child per paying adult, each with a dedicated coach. Please book this in advance.
Bookings are made at least 24 hours before your event. A deposit holds your lane and applies to your balance: a 2-player deposit for groups of 2 to 12, or a 50% deposit for groups of 13 to 24.
You can cancel within 48 hours of booking for a full refund. After that, your deposit can be applied to a reschedule but is not refunded.
Groups from 2 up to 24 can book online, and two spectators per arena are included. For larger parties and private buyouts of the full venue, up to 300 guests, reach out and we will set it up for you.
Walk-ins are first come, first served, and we cannot guarantee an open arena, so booking ahead is the surest way to get the time you want. League members get walk-in rates of $15 per hour.
We are on the 2nd floor at 1719 Washington Ave in South Philadelphia, PA 19146. There is ample parking in the area, but be aware of time limits on some streets. We are open Tuesday through Sunday and closed on Mondays.
