Many would be good for a child's room and would make a great gift. For a shower as well.

Another reason to come to the West Bank. It's on the block for the Wednesday weekly West End days with all the vendors.

Our kids have attended Kidcreate for years and genuinely enjoyed the programs, which makes leaving…read morethis review particularly disappointing. The issue isn't that something went wrong. Mistakes happen. We had a significant billing issue involving several hundred dollars, along with a communication problem that Kidcreate itself acknowledged was caused by its system sending incorrect cancellation notices. What concerns me is how the situation was handled once we tried to resolve it. We reached out to Lara, the owner, explained what happened, and tried to find a reasonable solution--even offering to accept a future credit instead of a refund. Lara initially responded, but offered no resolution. Since then, repeated emails and calls have gone unanswered. I don't expect a children's program to operate without ever making a mistake. I do expect the person who owns and operates the business to communicate, show some empathy, and take responsibility when a legitimate problem arises. Our children enjoyed Kidcreate, but how a business responds when something goes wrong matters just as much as the experience when everything goes right.

I signed up for the holiday ornament class and had a total blast. There were about 7 of us gathered around this large octagon of a table that was set up with torches, glass, and other tools.

We got a thorough demonstration and then had the opportunity to create our own piece. I am so happy with how mine turned out and I can't wait to go back for another class.

There were about 10 other people taking a "pain the greats" class - looked fun but a little too high-skilled for me... You can bring your own wine and have a night to relax, be creating, and paint a cute canvas, bowl, etc.. I've heard of painting pottery places that turn out more professional - my canvas isn't anything I'll be putting on display. but what a fun way to spend a friday night with a few friends! I'm not sure I'd do the same for $25, but the deal was much worth it!

These are always on sites like Groupon, and you can probably find coupon codes online for their website as well. The event I attended was at the Big Thrill Factory in Minnetonka, and due to the ambient noise from the rest of the building, I wouldn't highly recommend this venue. But the food looked good, and the wine/beer options were reasonable. There were parts of the instruction that I thought went too fast, and other parts that went way too slow. The beginning was a little stressful for me, in part bc I've never painted on canvas before. I am a pretty crafty person in general, but my skills are more from years of summer camp. Our instructor had music playing, and at times it was distracting and very loud. She also kept encouraging us to drink, which I didn't mind but I think some people will find excessive. Our instructor was cheerful, but there are things I think she should have repeated or emphasized more (like using a lot of water mixed with the paint for the first step, and how to do blending better. I have no idea how to do a lot of shading, or work with light) If the idea of painting appeals to you at all, I think you'd have a good time at a Paint Nite event, no matter what your skill level. I can see why some people go again and again! We were there for almost 2 1/2 hours. I wish she hadn't taken such a long break before the final part of the painting, bc I would have liked to stay longer to add more details during the last step, or allow parts of my canvas to dry before adding more things on top.

Initially, we went online together to pick a date with a painting subject that we liked. I think it would be fun to paint with friends, but even better if I actually want to hang up the art piece on my wall! Paint Nite seems to hold all of their classes in restaurant party rooms. There were about 40 people in the class held at Andiamo in Apple Valley. We had our own server in the back private room for drinks or food. Drinking was encouraged, as that likely loosens up some of the anxious people who want to paint perfectly! People were encouraged to use their creative spirit and paint what they feel in the mood to make. Our instructor was named Lisa and she did a wonderful job. She took her time to go through the steps slowly, offered help as needed and had some music playing while the paint dried. Bring a few friends, have a wild time and go home with a handmade creation!

Two weeks ago my sons took a Saturday night drop off class, when I arrived to pick them up one of their jackets was missing. Not the fault of the staff, these things happen and I understand that. The part that I do not understand and why I will not take my kids there or recommend them to anyone else is the response. From the employees present the night this happened to the staff who has not followed up with me at all after emails and multiple calls and messages from me and my wife. I don't expect you to take responsibility for my sons stolen jacket but I do expect you to communicate with a repeat customer and proactively offer some sense that you care about our negative experience.

When my son was younger we went to a couple of plays here and I remember them fondly. They did a great job. I should probably see what's playing and try to see a show again. The building is setup well with a coat check for the colder months, ample restrooms, and they always have beautiful artwork by different artists on the wall to enjoy while you wait to get your ticket taken. Since it's in the burbs it's a great deal with free parking in the nearby ramp or street parking and really only the cost of your ticket for a fun opportunity. Currently a group of girlfriends and I frequent this venue almost every month for the Hennepin County Library's Pen Pals event where they host different author talks. They do a wonderful job with a different setup for each author. Some give a lecture, some a presentation, others have had an interviewer in a conversation style. I've learned so much!

And parking was free in the lot across the street. Upon leaving, I noticed that there is also a parking ramp 1 block over too. The event didn't attract a real big crowd, so it was quieter than expected. So getting our tickets at will-call was fast. Walking into the theater, I was pleased to see the auditorium space. Any seat is going to be a good seat, and we happened to have 2 row tickets. The only downfall was proximity to the speakers. The show happened to be a comedy show, but I had a hard time hearing fast talk because of the microphone reverb. I was missing punchlines and not laughing. It was just too loud for "talking" when the mic was at your mouth. Now, there was a singing quartet in the show, and that was much better since they were standing about 2 feet away from the mics. Next time, I'd pick a middle row. After the show, we hit the restroom. Plenty of stalls for the ladies. It was clean and well stocked.
