Reviews
We recently brought our Summer Campers here and boy did they have fun! The instructors were patient and helpful and treated each child with enthusiasm and kindness. This is a wonderful small business and a fun time for people of all ages!
The sweetest owners ever! The prices were great and we had such a good time painting. Any time we needed help they were so nice! They even gave us some popcorn and since we don’t live in the area, they offer shipping! Great bachelorette activity!!!
