Entry No. 61 — the Coeur d'Alene file — filed under: arcade-play
Jumping Jackalope Axe Throwing
Jumping Jackalope opened its Coeur d'Alene axe-throwing lanes in 2021, north of I-90, as a 21-and-over spot. Beyond axes, they offer throwing knives and a card-throwing game. It's the sibling location to their original Spokane operation. Note: the CdA location has posted that it's relocating, so confirm the current address before you go.
The story
You didn't hear it from us, but if throwing a standard hatchet feels a bit too predictable, Jumping Jackalope is where the real weapon-hurling obsessives go. Opened in 2021 as the Idaho sibling to its original Spokane headquarters—co-founded by competitive thrower Miguel Tamburini—this spot sitting north of I-90 skips the family-arcade atmosphere entirely.
Instead of limiting you to standard hatchet lanes, the setup lets you graduate to throwing knives and a card-toss game to see if you can stick playing cards into wood. The catch? The location posted that it is relocating, making it a literal moving target. Always verify their current active address and operating hours via their site or socials before heading out.
What it's like
Expect a strictly 21-plus crowd and an adult environment geared toward competitive throwers and date nights. After you sign the waiver and strap on mandatory closed-toe shoes, staff members coach you through proper rotation physics before letting you loose. You will warm up on axes, graduate to balanced throwing knives, and finish with trash talk over the card-toss tiebreaker.
The move: Make it a 21-plus date: warm up on axes, then graduate to throwing knives and trash-talk your way through a card-toss tiebreaker.
📍 Before you go 21-and-over only; confirm current hours via their site or socials before going.
