They also have packages for wine nights and crafts for adults. Food and dessert can offered with your packages. The owner was courteous and introduced herself as you walk in. All the staff are super nice and pleasant in working with children of different ages. Also, the staff are skilled in creating some unique pieces of jewelry. They can be creative and help kids create some masterpieces. There is a main room and a mini tea room that are equipped with a wide range of supplies. A little overwhelming, but ask the staff and they can help you with your selections. I did notice the very tight space so having more than a small amount of people can be tough to deal with, and bumping into things or people will happen. From the looks of it, the prices are reasonable for the time spent here. Saves you a lot of money instead of throwing it at home...and don't forget the dreaded clean-up.

It was nice, we did a little cheese platter and brought wine and the instructors and staff were really helpful during the whole process. The place definitely makes the experience. Also you can look ahead on calendars to make sure you choose a date that you like the portrait. There are dedicated couple nights but we ended up choosing a painting that we liked. You come with yourself and your snacks/wine and they provide everything else! It's super easy and really fun. I would definitely recommend it to try it out. It's a fun experience and something different to do than the usual.

She had been an…read moreavid painter years ago and I figured this would be a good way to spend the day with her and do something she enjoys! We signed up for a Sunday brunch class! I unfortunately cannot remember our instructors name (she was super sweet with teal hair) but we had a great time! They studio for brunch classes sets out bagels and orange juice but I arrived with some prosecco and peach nectar for some bellinis ;) Everything you need is already set up - your canvas, brushes and paint so all you have to do is grab an apron and be ready to paint! However, me being somewhat of a perfectionist found that I really wished I had some smaller brushes that what we were giving for some detailing, but that is just me. The instructor did a great job of explaining what she was going, giving tips and going around and helping anyone who need it. She made everyone feel like they were Van Gogh or Monet and there was no wrong or right way to do it. I will say that the set up of the class is maybe not the best, you are in long tables with 4 canvases set up on each side, so if you are sitting toward the back, furthest away from the instructor it may be difficult to see, not just distance wise, but you have other people's canvases and heads in your way. Definitely come early - the studio is open 30 minutes before class. I arrived 15 minutes and was the first one there, so I made sure my mom had a great seat in front of the instructor. Overall a great first paint and sip experience and I would love to come back again and paint more!

They even put all the gifts in a bag so it was ready for us to take to the car! Our daughter had the time of her life, couldn't have asked for a better place to host a girls 6th birthday!

This location and ambiance…read moreare perfect, making it a great spot for a girl's night, date night, birthday celebration , or just to vibe out on your own. You really don't need to come with anyone to have a good time here. Trust me. We booked a 3 p.m. session online, and it was a 10/10 experience. Our instructor, Dalton, was full of energy, super friendly, funny and explained everything perfectly, making the painting process enjoyable! He also played music throughout the class, and his playlist was a hit! It really set the mood and made the experience even more fun. One of the best parts? You can bring your own food, drinks, and even wine! They provide wine glasses, plates, and cups for convenience, and if you forget something to drink, they sell sodas in the back. Plus, there's a store directly across the street where you can purchase a bottle of wine if that's your thing. The class lasted a little over two hours, giving us plenty of time to enjoy and create. Parking on a Sunday was easy with plenty of street parking, but I can see it getting busier during peak hours. Overall, Pinot's Palette is more than just a painting class--it's a whole experience! Even if you think you can't paint or draw, trust me, you can. Just go for it!

The class was fun, and set to some fun music, and the instruction (while fast paced) still offered opportunities to ask questions and seek help. Would recommend!

We tried out a couple of other kid's gyms in the area prior to signing up, but we liked Gymboree the most! The reason we liked Gymboree the most was because they have skills that they teach the kids during group time, such as "Over and Under", "Hard and Soft", "Push and Pull", etc. This was different from the other gyms in which group time consisted of taking turns swinging on a bar or sitting on a play mat with balls underneath. Our Instructor is Ms. Carrie and she is very sweet! She greets Ryan as soon as we walk in and knows all the kids names (even the new kids who just come for try outs). She is really friendly and does a great job of getting all the kids together during group time. I also really like how they change around the play area every 3 weeks or so to match whatever skills they have planned for the kids. This helps as they never get bored. Also, they do a really great job of keeping the whole facility clean- not a trace of dust or stains anywhere! Lastly, both the kids and parents are very friendly here. Parents stay close and are attentive to their kids. 5 stars to Gymboree in Westfield!

I highly recommend any classes offered as well as drop ins and workshops.

Urban Sewciety also has a small shop on the first level with beautifully curated fabrics and different projects that you can also take home to try. They also run different events (and sales) from time to time, so be on the lookout!
