Projected-target axe throwing, a yard full of group games, and a bar in Highland, Illinois. One cover, one hour of throwing, then stay and play as long as you like.

The target is projected on the wall, so your lane has 14 games instead of one bullseye. Softer end-grain wood, a rubber deflection system, and a coach for every group.

After your hour, every game in the building is included. Beer, seltzers, wine, soda, tea and water at the bar; no outside drinks. Bring, order, or cater your food.

Full-facility rental for up to 65–70. Private and Corporate parties starting at $500 for 2 hours, 2-hour minimum. Non-public days by arrangement.
Your hour of throwing is the ticket in. After that, everything on the right is included for as long as you want to stay: multiple rooms, plenty of counter space, and a lineup that keeps 6 or 60 people busy.
Straight from people who came in, threw, and stayed late.

What a hidden gem! This place offers real axe throwing along with awesome games projected onto the target, which makes it way more fun and engaging than the standard setup. The game variety keeps things competitive and exciting for everyone. There are also some super fun games tucked away in the back that add an extra layer of entertainment. Such a unique, high-energy experience, can't wait to come back!

We chose The Game Yard for our combined bachelor/bachelorette party and they did not disappoint! So easy to work with, explained how to use the axe throwing gaming system and everyone who came had a blast! The ability to choose games to play with the axe throwing made the night so much fun and the 2 hours go by way too fast! We already want to go back again!

This place is so fun! The owner was very nice and explained everything very well for axe throwing. This was our first axe throwing experience and it was fun. There are multiple games you can play for axe throwing, our group liked the bowling. There are also lots of activities and games in the other room such as shuffleboard, rock em sock em robots, giant tic tac toe, etc. You can be easily entertained for hours. I definitely recommend this place for a good time at a reasonable price.
