Magnolia resident Jerey Elkin opened Woodlands Axe alongside his brother Jon Elkin in late 2022 to provide the area with more entertainment options in the area just west of The Woodlands. Jerey Elkin said Woodlands Axe, which is located on Tamina Road south of FM 1488 and close to FM 2978, oers a unique entertainment venue with computer-projected targets for axe throwing. Staying local Jerey Elkin said he realized the need for more entertainment options as he and his wife drove an hour away from Magnolia searching for an axe throwing entertainment center. “So we gured, you know, why not open up one in our own area? There’s no entertainment out here whatsoever,” Jerey Elkin said. While brainstorming what his own entertainment center would look like, Jeery Elkin decided to oer a dierent method of axe throwing using computer-projected targets consisting of 10 dierent games. Woodlands Axe also oers a bar, a meeting space located upstairs and an event venue for parties. Local organizations the venue has hosted include St. Luke’s Hospital and Lone Star College. The details At Woodlands Axe, participants can choose from 10 dierent games using a tablet screen available in each of its 11 lanes. The interactive games make axe throwing more challenging and engaging, manager and co-owner Jon Elkin said. Additionally, Jon Elkin said the entertainment center oers seasonal games during holidays and two private lanes where attendees can upload a photo from their phone onto the targets. The safety-designed targets and anti-bounce borders allow participants to safely throw axes as well as knives and ninja stars. Elkin said axe throwing participants are required to sign a waiver prior to playing and are guided through a 15-minute practice and instruction session. While axe throwing, attendees can enjoy food and drinks from the bar including beer, cider, wine, hot dogs, pretzels and pizzas. Woodlands Axe brings axe throwing games to Tamina Road venue
