Lumberjack Lane

Lumberjack Lane

Lumberjack Lane sits on the second floor of the Adventure Zone and is advertised by a very flashy neon sign reading simply “AXES” in the 1950s Route 66 fashion. When entering the sliding glass doors, you enter into a brick-walled wonderland with a large mural of famous Disney characters dressed in their best blue jeans and red flannel combo, featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. The three pose amongst the trees on this crafty painted mural. Once down the short hallway, guests enter the lockers area where they can put their personal belongings in one of the lockers for safe keeping. Once that is done, guests enter the screening room where a cast member and axe coach explains the rules as well as demonstrates how to throw an ax. 

Once the training portion is over, guests are ushered to their targets, surrounded by the beautiful (painted) woods of the Pacific Northwest. Here, guests play the role of lumberjacks tossing their axes to see who is best. There are two separate targets per aisle, one higher than the other making for a harder challenge for guests willing to attempt it. However, the main target is the one on ground level and oftentimes the second one isn’t available due to high volume of guests. 

Guests throwing axes are scored automatically with sensors built into the target. Once an ax connects, the computer will register that score, keeping tabs on all players for a grand reveal of the winner of the game. There are bonus points as well for speed, angle, and power, all measured by sensors in the lane itself. 

Lanes are sectioned off by rope nets that prevent cross over from one lane to another. There are also catch nets at the top to prevent anything flying too high. 

Each lane can accommodate up to eight participants with ten lanes allowing up to 80 participants at a time. Each session lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the purchase. Guests can also utilize their day pass to get unlimited 30-minute experiences throughout the day.

All-You-Can-Play Day Pass- Permits pass owner to participate in unlimited throws throughout the day of purchase or may be pre-purchased and set for a specific day. This pass permits access to all individual ticketed attractions within Disney’s Nature Wonderland complex. $99.99/person

As with the other activities within the Adventure Zone, there is a list of rules guests absolutely must follow at all times for the safety of each other and the equipment. 

1. All guests MUST wear closed-toed shoes at all times throughout the ax-throwing.

2. Guests are to monitor their surroundings and to be sure the lanes are clear prior to throwing. Guests retrieving axes must be past the red throwing line before the next thrower may pick up their ax. Failure to adhere to this precaution will get guests ejected from Lumberjack Lanes.

3. Under ZERO circumstances should axes be picked up by people other than the current thrower. Any handling, swinging, throwing or otherwise playing axes aside from assigned throwing turn will get guests ejected from Lumberjack Lanes.

4. All guests must be over the age of 13 with adult supervision. Any guest under the age of 13 may not participate at Lumberjack Lanes.

5. Guests must clear their space once turns are over and return axes to the returned cast member. No axes are EVER to leave Lumberjack Lanes.

6. Food and drinks are not permitted in the throwing area.

7. Cast members are stationed in the throwing room and will be monitoring guests at all times. 

Lumberjack Lanes is the perfect experience for anyone looking to hang out with friends and play a fun but competitive game and has become popular with local teens and college students, making it one of Disney’s Nature’s Wonderland’s biggest attractions.
