It's everything you would want in a play place for a 1.5 and 3.5 year old. Plenty to see and do, but not too much that it's overwhelming. There's a large play place with lots of slides and areas to climb, pretend play centers and plenty of other toys like blocks, trains, etc. A huge added bonus is they have a snack bar with coffee - perfect for adults, and helpful if you forget snacks for your kiddos. The entire space is kept extremely clean and has a bright and modern feel. Admission is around $20 for open play. It's also a wonderful spot for birthday parties - you get the entire space for two hours and they have complete packages where they include food and decor. Overall it's a cute spot to have in town and I'm sure we'll continue to visit often!

She's caring, thoughtful, remembers us(!), and very organized. Every time we have come to the facility, every block is in place, and there isn't a piece of lint or thread anywhere on the floor- it is spotless clean! Remember to bring socks - if you forget (like I did) they have kid and adult pairs for sale for just a few dollars. You're also welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks in - they have designated areas for food in there. Our kid started coming around age 13 months and is 2.5 years now. There are endless things to do - from small breakout rooms to explore and stimulate imagination, to a massive climbing and jungle gym area that even adults can easily maneuver. There is a small cafe for water and snacks, as well as very clean, accessible restrooms. The area is very open and visible, so parents can always keep an eye on their children no matter which part of the building they are in. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. Over and over again.

The staff is great with the children and my son always has a blast we love this place!!!read more

My family had a very poor experience with this organization, specifically the summer…read moreCounselor-in-Training program. We did our due diligence - spoke with a staff member about their programs, had a positive encounter with them during a community event, and perused the website. Everything seemed like it'd be a good fit, so we signed up for two weeks of camp (again, as a Counselor-in-Training) Day 1 -- our daughter comes home and recalls how she was asked to sit with one child, one-on-one, all day. The staff suggested that this child had "behavioral issues", and that our daughter should come get them (the Counselors) if he did not listen and did anything wrong. As a former counselor + advocate, I did not like how this sounded, but wanting to give the organization a solid chance and wanting to foster resilience in our daughter, we sent her back for a second day. Day 2 -- our daughter comes home and recalls she was asked to organize a bookshelf, which took her 40 minutes, and had very little interactions with the counselors -- whom she was supposed to be learning from. Now I'm agitated. For, these were NOT the type of experiences we had expected and wanted for our daughter; we pulled her from the camp after just two days. She was never given proper instructions or opportunities to learn from the counselor nor asked to work with campers working on art projects; but to have our child sit with one camper, one-on-one, all day, was a huge red flag and liability issue that I could no longer overlook. When reaching out to share our concerns, the owner responded and suggested our daughter fabricated everything. That the experiences our daughter had were not consistent with how their staff saw things. This left me flabbergasted that the staff had no empathy for our daughter and her experiences there, did not validate our concerns as a family, and essentially suggested our daughter made it up. There was no accountability; NOT ONE THING her staff could have done differently? Nor was there self-reflection to rumble with -- how could they have helped our daughter have a better experience. Only condescending finger pointing wrapped in ultra polite and polished language. On top of it all, the organization has a no refund policy. So my family paid $400 for our daughter to learn skills of a Counselor-in-Training, she attended just two day, and all she took away was being a 1:1 aide (again, the liability piece was overlooked by the staff in their response!) and organizing a bookshelf. I expected more from a non-profit organization! They have our money - see if you can use our balance towards your enrollment fees!

I've been a party guest here, but this was a lovely experience as a party host!…read more We had my daughter's third birthday here and it was a seamless planning experience. For an extra fee you can add on balloons and catered food, so you really just need to show up with goodie bags and cake. The space isn't huge, but I would say it's perfect for a 2/3/4 year old birthday party. There are lots of slides and play areas toclimb, and for an extra $100 charge they will blow up a bounce house. Leading up to the event - it was extremely easy to communicate and ask questions via email. Everyone was so responsive which was really amazing. At the party there were four staff members onsite to assist for around 20 kids. They handled absolutely everything and I hardly had to lift a finger. The party length is 1.5 hours which I thought was perfect. An hour of play time and half an hour of pizza and cake. Only knocking off a star because you can't bring in your own balloons, and the balloons they sell are incredibly expensive for what you get. Ballon cost aside, it's a great place for a party and I really appreciated having to do minimal work with a wonderful outcome. Most importantly - the birthday girl had the best time.

IN 1 LINE: A night of artistic learning and fun!…read more VENUE: The first thing I noticed was how big this art studio is, which allows for more than one class to run at the same time. My class was held in the back studio which made it feel like a private party. It even had an area with ice and glasses (wine and beer glasses) and a counter top to set up the desserts we brought.  *My family and friends were there to celebrate my birthday, and my mother said that all of the staff were very accommodating in hiding my ice-cream cake. :) Our instructor also gave many breaks and opportunities to eat and celebrate. I really enjoyed the music that played during the class too which created a casual and relaxing night. TEACHER: We loved our art instructor, Justine, who has the patience of a saint! She made the class fun and reassured all of us that we would all be able to complete the selected painting of the night. She was encouraging and lended her gentle guidance and expertise. We never once felt rushed, as each of us took our time to paint. She led us step by step, teaching techniques along the way. Thank you for a great night!

Boonton, NJ - as the head of the Family Steering Committee counted on to provide strategic…read moredirection and project oversight, I pointed my husband here to help our child paint a ceramic project for a Mother's Day gift. Internal stakeholder management issues notwithstanding (non-vendor side), the experience was wonderful from top to bottom! Having never been here, nor painted pottery since I was in 7th grade, I called Artsy to find out what to expect. Stephanie who picked up the phone didn't have the answer to one of my questions (it was her first day!), but found out and called me back right away. We walked in on a weekend morning. Sylvia, another lovely employee, greeted us and explained the process. The interior is clean, zen, cheerful, colorful, neat and well-organized. My child chose a ceramic and colors, Sylvia laid out the paints, and the père-fils duo got down to business while I settled in a nearby cafe to get some work done. (There is actually a cafe in the back of the store, but it was closed at the time as I'm told they're soon moving to a larger space up Main St.) Although FamCo's senior team member reported that the junior associate gave up halfway and significant intervention was required to help execute his vision and meet the project goal, the assignment was completed with pride, and turned out to be a perfect rainy day activity. Prices vary but most projects are under $35 at the time of writing, more for larger pieces, and includes everything (ceramic, painting, kiln firing). I wish there were some more choices but my child was happy with what he selected. The finished object would be ready to pick up in 10 days, and the senior official in charge was responsible for monitoring the schedule and ensuring timely retrieval of the gift. However, two weeks and an alarming question later ("so when are we supposed to get it?"), it was clear the directive had not been followed, and the Chairman of SteerCo was urged to "come along" on Mother's Day morning to support the final step and ensure deliverables are achieved within deadline. Once again, Sylvia met us as we picked up the finished project - which looks quite much nicer and different in its glazed and completed form than the raw material - and even kindly offered to take our family photo holding it. Artsy also offers workshops & classes, kids & adult paint or pottery parties, summer camp, and mobile events. Whether you want to paint something for yourself, make a gift for someone else, or just find something fun and crafty to do, I highly recommend them!

There was only one person working (our "designated party host") who also was attending to multiple other painting customers and others who wanted smoothies made. She was overworked and overwhelmed. Another mother and I wound up helping the girls in the party with their slime, going so far as to grab the materials needed, hand them out, and help mix and give directions. There were other customers who even arrived, waited at the front door for 5 minutes and then turned around and left due to no one being able to acknowledge them. Our party host did the best she could given the constraints. We've been to many other birthday parties here before and we did not have the same great experience hosting ours. I received an email a few days after the party asking for my feedback, which I filled out honestly. Never heard anything back. ‍ We will return to paint some pottery, but won't ever have a birthday party here.
