First of all, I want to say this rating is from purely a walk-in experience and not a birthday…read moreparty. I decided to take my son here as we love crafting together. The pros: The space was bright, colorful, organized and clean. The staff were friendly and informative and didn't mind giving us extra paint when we wanted additional colors. Love that you can just walk right in without reservations. The cons: Wow is this place expensive for what you get. Most of their items that you can paint can easily be found in the dollar section at Target or for less the $5 at Michael's. The cheapest item to paint was $15 and those were very small pieces which can easily be painted in less than 10 minutes. My son chose a wooden snake and I chose a window clings wind chime. Each were $22. I would expect more expensive prices for items like this if maybe you get some special tools or paints to use. You simply get a paper plate with acrylic colors of your choice and paint brushes. I do not feel this is worth the price when I can easily replicate this experience in my own home for less than $10. Overall, the idea is great but they need to make this experience more unique in order for it to be worth the price. For example, there is another craft place in Pleasanton that you can create ceramics that have to go into a kiln for around the same price. That is not something I can replicate in my own home and is therefore worth the price.

I want to say a few positive things about Michaels, in general, and about our last visit in…read moreparticular. First, Michaels continues to carry Pride Month merch. Sounds like a small thing, but for our family, it's a big deal. Second, we've gotten several things framed here, both custom and not. We were here this week to pick up some standard size frames, and we never fail to find attractive options. The frames have been moved to make way for the new Joann Fabric section, but that's fine. Third, they transitioned to a system where everyone does self-checkout, but if you have Michaels rewards or coupons, or both, there is always someone there to help you navigate. We want to recognize Zen for helping us maximize our savings this past visit.

It was busy that day, and unfortunately I didn't catch the name of the woman who helped us, but she was great and very patient.

She was good and helpful, but the experience felt a little rushed even though we were the only ones in the shop at the time. Overall, it's a great experience for kids. It is a little pricey, but if your child likes slime, it's definitely something they'll enjoy and have fun doing.
