The instructor was very polite and very personable. She was able to assist everyone no matter the level product a great picture.
Beverly E.

This company was absolutely fantastic! The artist was patient and personable. She was able to guide everyone no matter the level of artistic skill, to produce a great product. Definitely recommend this company.

This company is trying to charge me to reschedule even though they sent me this!

*UPDATE* They did refund my entire purchase* My previous review was 5-star for being a guest at a paint party. Had a great time. This updated review is about the process in which trying to schedule my own paint party. First, this is not a local company. They are on the east coast and customer service is below satisfactory. They do not give you any specified details regarding cost until you beg for it. They force you to sign up/reserve online with a $160 deposit. You still can't get any costs until you give them ALL your details but you know what - sometimes we don't have all those details and are looking for a budget first! After a failed attempt at getting additional questions answered and nobody from this non-local company responding to me, I emailed back and asked them to cancel. Sure as shit, I then got a response. But now, they want to charge $40 to cancel this reservation - that they forced me to create in order to get any details whatsoever. Oh, and if I reschedule, they are also requiring an ADDITIONAL $40 even though on the email confirmation I got it says" "If you need to change your Event Date or Event Time, please let us know within 1 business day, in order to avoid a $50 reschedule fee" GREEDY MUCH???

FANTASTIC 65th BIRTHDAY Paint Party...Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the experience, the good food and a few good laughs. A special shout out to Mary K. our super painting instructor; patient, kind and helpful.

Out teacher Emma so skilled in teaching.
Adelino E.

The amazing patience and essence of the teacher makes learning techniques easy, she was clear and educational taught all of us. I had a wonderful time with Emma she was a blast positiveness and it was a joyful experience one that was a pleasure and honor to be a part of. Solana at Grand had hosted an even with paint the town and as a resident I couldn't help but feel so valued by Emma her professional demeanor and patience truly shined as an artist. I was super impressed and would definitely recommend her for any events or night of painting the town becasue she hosted an amazing event. I walked away feeling like my hidden artistic side got to shine even if my own painting looked funny I had a blast learning and trying to make my portrait happen. Five stars all the way across the board.

Mary K was out instructor and really made our Paint Party special. She was very patient with a large fun bunch and was very accommodating for any requests we had. We had a tight window and she was perfectly on time also which was nice. Def recommend.

Mary K. was our instructor and was amazing! I've done painting classes before, but this one was the best I've done. She's so talented and takes the time to explain each step. Plus, she was very friendly and engaged with our bridal shower group. I highly recommend!

We had a wonder experience start to finish with Paint the Town for our office team building event! Thank you to our wonderful instructor, Suchita who helped everyone's artistic tendencies to shine! Thank you :)

We had such a fun time and with a great host - Mary K! All our staff was engaged and really got to connect with teams we don't usually get time with. This was a great team building event and recommend Paint The Town for work or personal fun!

Carlsbad Paint & Sip with Paint the Town.

I had the pleasure of working with Celia from Paint the Town for a painting event/fundraiser we had at my company in Carlsbad. Celia was super flexible in accommodating our shifting needs, and was able to provide us with options that worked for a varying number of people and also helped to support our charitable cause. She even custom created a painting that was relevant to our company's industry for our group to recreate! On the day of our event, our instructor Kyli showed up early and ensured everything was set up on time. She did a great job of working with our group of 34 people. She was able to explain how to do the painting in an easily understandable way, while still making it fun AND she kept everyone on track - even the rowdiest of our painters. Everyone involved from Paint the Town ensured that we had a stress-free event. I would not hesitate to work with Celia and Paint the Town again.

Unfortunately, our artist was nearly 30 minutes late due to traffic so we started about late. He was personable, but it was difficult to hear him instruct. The cheap plastic aprons ripped immediately & I was surprised cloth aprons were not provided. The paper plates, thin canvas boards & the old plastic cups for water made the event seem a bit trashy. I would not book again. Also, they charged a $40 travel fee & $15 in credit cards fees on top of the per artist charge.

You guys are awesome! I would give it more stars if I could. This is my first painting event as I went for a company party. I was welcomed by a nice spread of snacks, wine, great music, and a smiling instructor. When we arrived, all the supplies were set up on the table and all we needed to do was put on an apron. The instructor not only provided simple step to step instruction, making learning super easy (especially for first time painters like myself), she also made the entire experience very stress-free and fun. I also loved how the instructor encouraged us to create our own art work if we felt adventurous! We had a blast at the event and even talked about booking another one for our own group of friends. Good job!

Yoko B.

The whole experience was great. Easy to book, fast response and Lucy our instructor was amazing. I'll definitely be booking they Paint The Town again!

See all

Nurtured By Nature - Baby otter

Nurtured By Nature

(87 reviews)

The price is way too much!…read more The fact is, that it is double. I wanted to do this for my daughter, but she was also not interested in going alone. All I wanted to do was take photos and they wouldn't allow me. You have to pay $700 to accompany your child, whether or not they have a disability.

I want to start this review by saying a huge thank-you to Nurtured by Nature for creating such an…read moreincredible experience and allowing me to fulfill a 10+ year dream of interacting closely and even "swimming" with otters. This was an early birthday gift to myself, and honestly, nothing could have been more meaningful. Our group was led by the founder, Wendy, along with another amazing educator whose name I regretfully don't remember. Both were absolutely wonderful, you could feel how much they care for and understand each animal through the knowledge, enthusiasm, and respect they shared with us. The groups are small, maxing out at eight people, which makes the experience feel personal and intimate. Before the otter swim, we met about seven other animals, including a sloth, capybaras, fennec foxes, ring-tailed lemurs, and more. We were even able to feed, pet, and interact up close with many of them, which made the tour around the property both educational and heartwarming. And then of course, the highlight of the day: the Otter Swim. We got to spend time in the water with three playful otters, and I can now officially say I've petted an otter (flat hand, of course)! They had no concept of personal space, swimming all around us, climbing on our arms, and using us as launch pads back into the water. Watching them play and interact up close was beyond adorable. It was truly a 10/10 (or more like 1,000,000/10) experience, and I would--and hopefully will be back again someday. Parking: They have a decently sized lot available Bathrooms: Both port-o-potties out front, and 2 proper restrooms within the facility
