There was a playdoh station, play house station, leprechaun trap art station, colored rice station, spin art and a sand station. And more! My kids totally loved it and stayed busy the whole time. We will definitely be coming back for another play time! The place was clean, the staff was helpful, bathroom was clean and the front part of the studio has a cute toy shop with lots of cute toys to choose from. The price was $20 per kid which I think is a decent price for the activities!

My son and I attended a birthday party at Create Studio this past weekend and had a great time!…read more There is plenty of meter parking around the area, and since it was the weekend it was free! The entrance to Create is a toy store and it looked like they had a lot of fun items- I will definitely be back when looking for kids gifts. We were welcomed by the owners through the lego rainbow to join the party. My son was immediately so excited about all the fun activities that were set up! There were 3 sensory/play bins, a play dough station, and an art station arranged with tons of supplies for the party-goers to paint a doughnut. My son is a year and a half so he was mainly into the sensory bins. There was also a giant "cake" set up with colored shaving cream "paint" so the attendees could decorate the cake. I was a little worried that my son was making such a mess being pretty young, but the owners were really chill about it and encouraged him to participate! We had a great experience and I would love to go back to Create!

I really enjoyed my experience here. Ashley, the instructor, is a lot of fun, knowledgeable, and…read morehelpful with giving advice and clear instructions. I am a terrible painter but I honestly made the best painting of my life here. Ashley made the experience fun and looked to my strengths to give me advice on what I could do better. She gave me different tools throughout the process to help me accomplish the look I was going for. One of the best things about this place as well is that if you don't finish in your first visit you can come back at certain times and have full access to their resources and advice even if it takes a couple times of coming back to do so. Coming here gave me confidence in my ability to actually paint well and it was not stressful at all during the process. Next time the wife and I get a chance to have some free time, this place is definitely going to be on our minds!

This was our first experience with Pepperhill. I have a 12 year old and a 9 year old. We have…read moredone summer camps before and this was our first time at Pepperhill and I chose them because they offered swimming, fishing, horseback riding, archery, and games. They have a camp video on their website and it showed the children having an amazing time. That being said, I was disappointed. This camp is expensive and I did not feel I got my money's worth *pay attention to the NO REFUND policy*. My 9yr old was a "junior" and loved Pepperhill. They had activities and swimming scheduled every day. My 12yr old was a "grad" and they are granted more freedom to pick and choose what they want to do during the day because they are older; they also went on field trips. My 12yr old spent most of the day helping the younger campers or doing chores around the camp. As a parent, that didn't upset me because it teaches them responsibility. What did upset me was that I was paying MUCH MORE for my child to do what I felt the counselors should be doing. Now, the tuition for a "grad" is more because they go on field trips (movies, skating) and BIG trips (Holiday World in Indiana), but you are not eligible to attend the BIG trips unless you enroll in all three weeks of the session. Pay attention to this because when I enrolled I was very excited for my child to get a chance to do white water rafting, but because we had a family memorial and did not enroll in one of the weeks, they were not eligible for the BIG trip that session, even though we attended the other two weeks. I will not be sending my children back to this camp based on the fact they are way too expensive and and I did not feel I got my money's worth.

I had my wedding reception there and couldn't have been happier. Our ceremony was in the chapel in Old Morrison (part of Transy's campus) right across the street, which was perfect. Their rental coordinator was so helpful and easy to work with for our year of planning, even during a pandemic. They provided all the info we needed up front and stayed in touch as we planned from afar. They set up all the furniture perfectly and we're quick to send our security deposit back afterwards. Since events aren't their main focus, nothing "comes with" this rental like food, planning staff, etc., but we were able to pick exactly what we wanted for other venues so that was fine with us. We had 75 guests which felt like a great fit in the ballroom for dinner, but you could definitely fit more people in there if you needed.
