New York's Premier Axe Throwing Experience

NY Axe Throwing

NY Axe is a great choice for a casual night out, double date, family activity, birthday celebration, or get-together with friends. No experience is needed, and every session is guided by trained coaches who help with safety, technique, and games. NY Axe combines the excitement of axe throwing with a social, competitive atmosphere that keeps everyone involved. Guests are not just watching — they are playing, competing, laughing, and creating memories together. At select locations, guests can also enjoy additional activities such as ninja stars, knife throwing, safe archery, digital darts, mini golf, and other tech-driven games. Whether it is your first time throwing or you have been before, there is always something fun to do. NY Axe is also a great option for larger celebrations and planned events, including birthday parties, corporate outings, team-building events, school groups, summer camps, fundraisers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and private events. Select NY Axe locations feature full bars and food options, making them ideal for adult nights out, company events, and celebrations. Other locations allow outside food, making them a convenient option for families, kids’ parties, and community groups. Whether you are planning a date night, a night out with friends, or a larger group event, NY Axe offers a fun, easy-to-book experience that brings people together.

Long Island Swim School is the teaching arm of the nationally ranked Long Island Aquatic Club. Our Learn to Swim programs create strong, safe, and confident swimmers for life. With locations in Garden City and Syosset we train over 2,000 children each week at every swim level from Beginner to Olympian. Long Island Swim School offers swim lessons for children ages 2 - 14years old. The main emphasis of our programs is to teach children to swim correctly and develop essential water skills in a relaxed environment. Our goal driven and technique oriented approach is the key to your child's success. Through skill based quality teaching our students develop a joy for learning and a passion for swimming. At Long Island Swim School, we teach children to swim the same way the best in the world do. By using age-appropriate, proven techniques children build real skills in kick, pull, body position, and breath control. Our logical, consistent progression turns every fundamental—whether blowing bubbles or learning butterfly timing—into a building block for efficient, confident swimming. Our professional staff are swimmers and coaches with the knowledge to give your child the skills to achieve more than just water safety. We provide the best foundation possible for success. Not every child will dream of Olympic glory, but every child should have the foundation to take them there. Whether the end goal is a competitive journey or a recreational one, whether your child competes in 2044 or they are happy playing in their home pool, the skills they learn at Long Island Swim School will take them as far as their dreams allow.
