I have always wanted to try out the plant nights that I have seen. So I was browsing on Groupon and…read moreI came across the coupon for yay maker. The hostess was extremely friendly and she appeared to be very knowledgeable about the plans and how to take care of them. Not only did we get to make our own planter, but we also got to check out a new brewery or 'new to us' as We both had never been to Round Town brewery. The tender there was very courteous and offered samples and even suggested a really good mixture of their beers. For the actual event, it's pretty low-key and casual. You walk in and make sure you find whoever is hosting it so you can check in. Then you find the class that you want and sit there. Whomever is leading the event will walk you through every step of the way and answer any questions you have. The only thing that I felt was a little bit misleading about this event was that you pay for admission and then you also have to pay for a supplies fee on top of that. I feel like it would just be so much easier if you just clumped it all into one free.

I can't believe nobody has reviewed this yet, but let me do the honors and be the first to do so…read more Actually this was my third time attending an event. I like the variety of their pictures as well as the location of their events. They travel to various restaurants to use as venues. Two of my visits have been to the Hard Rock Cafe downtown Indianapolis and one to the Spaghetti Factory since that is fairly close to my home. The restaurant staff tends to be very friendly and you get your choice of the entire menu and bar. So lots of variety, a big plus... but you also need to tip, a little downside... well I do tend to spend way too much on food and drink always... Generally the event is set up in a smaller private room, this way we can paint and follow the instructor without the usual restaurant/bar noises, which is a good thing. The instructors/artists tend to be funny or at least try... there are just so many jokes you can make and so if you go more often, you'll hear the same jokes again. They also try to entertain you with silly games while you wait for your paint to dry, because we all know, just watching the paint dry is not a highly rated activity. So far they have always been helpful if you need more paint, towels, help with the picture, repeat instructions cause you were running your mouth and not paying attention... And let's just mention that you really truly do NOT need any talent in order to paint a picture once the artists break it down for you into little easy to follow steps. And generally there are some discount codes flying around, I found a Groupon for my session and you can win a free event sometimes, and generally they give you a discount code to use for your next event.. that's how they keep you coming back ... a fun experience, a cool picture to brag with and a discount code...

When we arrived the instructor had set up everything for us and it was all ready to go. Our class was at Pivot Bar and Balcony at Hyatt Place (downtown ). As we painted we enjoyed some drinks. It was step-by-step class and was easy to follow. Instructor was so kind and helped us a lot too. Definitely a fun activity and I recommend it to everyone. Class lasted about 2.5 hours.

My husband booked us a reservation here to celebrate our anniversary- I didn't know what to expect,…read morebut it was so much fun! He signed us up to make a canvas and charcuterie board. We started by picking out our paint colors and then learning how to properly combine them to get ready to put on our board. They showed us different examples of how we could pour the paint to come up with different designs/looks. It is so cool to see how many different ways you could take your creation. It was so cool to see the finished product from the day and I'm even more excited to see how it looks once they finish their work (I think the boards get a resin finish and not sure what else!) We had Tara and she helped make the experience super fun. She helped with paint combinations and also gave thorough instructions throughout, so we felt confident when we had to put paint to canvas. The owner was in the studio as well and she was so friendly and enjoyable to talk to while working on our art. I feel like there could be so many cool combinations, and I wanna come back to make another project in the future! They do take walk-ins as long as there is availability, but you can book online to ensure they are ready for you. Highly recommend checking this place out!!

We had hammers, baseball bats, golf clubs at our disposal and plenty of objects to smash throw and shatter. You can bring your own items too if they are within the guidelines. If you want to get your energy out in other ways, they also offer axe throwing. Great for small groups, large groups, work events and more!

Customer Service: Amazing! Sam was attentive, informative, accommodating, and funny! He had just a…read morecool and personable personality, and made everyone feel welcomed. Parking and accessibility: Parking was rather easy and so was locating the entrance. Decor: For a rage room, it was what was expected! TVs were available to be smashed, walls looked like they had seen better days, and there was plenty of glassware to swing at for home runs! Ambiance: The music was tailored for my experience and it got the adrenaline flowing! What I also appreciated were the safety rules in place and the ask for courtesy when writing on the walls (after the activity). Activity: I did the 30 minute rage room session and let me say.....I LEFT UNSTRESSED! I was given a crate of glassware to destroy and a tv. I was given the option of a hammer, sledgehammer, and baseball bat - I would highly recommend the bat for all things. Between the room vibes and the things on my mind going into it, I valued having a place to dish out my frustration. Perfect for after a long week at work, a breakup, or just a bad day!! I'm definitely coming back for axe throwing next!

We visited Ragnarok as a birthday gift and it didn't disappoint. We had a 2 hour package that…read moreincluded unlimited archery, knife, and axe throwing and we had a great time at Ragnarok. The check in itself took 15 minutes to complete the waivers, make payments and the training took another 10 minutes. The team does a great job making sure we understand the nuances of the activity from safety to hand positioning and understanding how we can best aim and throw an axe. For first timers it may seem intimidating at first but the team does a good job to make us comfortable. The place wasn't too crowded and at times teams got in so it does look like an excellent place for a fun date night or team bonding activities. Definitely try if you are up for an adrenaline packed day or evening!

Once you get past the "training", which is just learning the basics of how to throw the axe, there is not a full moment. Our "Axepert" Acorn was phenomenal. He explained all the games so they were easy to understand and just had an easy to get along with demeanor. It was like he was apart of our group. Acorn also had a trainee with him so the fact that he was able to manage both jobs was pretty impressive. I did not get the trainees name but he did a great job interacting with the kids. Overall we LOVED our time there. I recommend this activity to everybody!

I was hanging out in the Beech Grove area today for a bit of a change of pace. I have a long…read moreweekend for Memorial Day, and I decided to try to visit some "new to me" businesses. I was wheeling on Main Street when Beech Grove Clay Works caught my eye. This is a storefront directly on Main Street. As you might guess, it's a ceramics studio. It's an adult community ceramics studio where members enjoy access to "instructional classes at all experience levels." They have as much as 40+ hours of open studio time a week - however, it's worth noting they do not offer walk-in classes or studio time. All classes are scheduled in advance, and only paid members can participate in the open studio times. There's a front gallery space, my primary interest today, where you can buy local and support indie artists. I saw everything from refrigerator magnets to kitchen wares to decor to quite a bit more. It was really quite impressive. The class and studio area is visible from the gallery, and it's also a quite impressive space. The front entryway is accessible, not always true in Beech Grove, and I was acknowledged when I entered. I believe the owner was in conversation with someone - perhaps a potential member or someone for an event - and I waited patiently for my turn while checking out the gallery. I stuck around 15-20 minutes. My turn never came. I'd grown interested in a couple items, however, I had some questions (including price, as these items were out of my reach). After waiting what felt like a reasonable time, I finally left without further acknowledgement and without a purchase. Buying local is wonderful, but that doesn't negate the requirement that you actually serve the customer. I'm actually pretty low maintenance, but if I'm not served I don't buy. Pretty simple. So, cool shop. Cool gallery. Great concept. Needs some work in the area of customer service. I may or may not be back.

For $60 four of us ( great idea for double date night ) were taught to paint over the course of two hours. All paint, canvases, smocks, and cleaning supplies were included. And the best part is they encourage you to BYOB! We brought a cooler full of craft beer and a bottle of wine and it was awesome to relax and drink and be creative with friends. The teacher was fun and patient and we loved our final result. ( check out purple and maroon painting pics above ) We have the paintings hung in our living room as a reminder of that night. Good times!! I wish there was another locations closer than Fortville, other than that no complaints at all.
