Our Axeperts job is to keep everyone safe, not watch your kids. If you cannot watch them, we will give you one warning and then you will be asked to leave. This is for the safety of everyone in the arena, we cannot have kids running in front of axes.
Sorry, but we have already scheduled your Axepert to work, reserved the range for you and refused other axe throwing enthusiasts. We can certainly reschedule for you though.
