However, ax throwing is only offered as an add-on to other experiences offered at the adventure park, such as off-roading, driving a monster truck, shooting, operating heavy equipment, flamethrowing or an experience in which you can blow up a car for $2,200 in the middle of the desert.
Guests can book an experience online at adrenalinemountain.com/axes. Minors must be accompanied by an adult who can sign a waiver.
