I took my kids here for a dad and kids day out. My kids are 5 years old and they just had an…read moreincredible time. I ended up booking the splatter room with the dark light experience. It was trippy with the black lights and projections on the wall of various etherial scenes. We all dressed up in the protective suit, googles and boots. The kids were a little small for the suits, but they managed to make it work! Once inside, you can throw paint all over, stomp on the artwork with your feet (a personal favorite of my kids), and twist the painting around to have the colors spread in all directions. We were joined by a staffer the entire time who took a few pictures along with a cute video. I recommend having the staffer snap photos with your own iPhone as mine came out a little better. But I did enjoy the video. At the end of the experience, they pack up the painting in gigantic pizza boxes. The paint is expected to dry in 24-48 hours, though ours took a much longer. I recommend putting the paintings outside on a dry day in the sun to help move that along. Granted ours had a lot of paint on it, but even after 48 hours it was super wet. This is a blast. And it's located in a classic 1990s mall. The kids LOVED this mall, complete with a Spencers gift store, bowling alley and reptile interactive experience. In fact, we'll probably come back here again once the winter sets in since there are so many things here to do with kids inside.

Event: Regular Splatter Paint Session to celebrate a couple birthdays…read more The space: The Splatter Room is located inside the Manassas Mall and is not located near an entrance so give yourself extra time if you have a reservation. The studio itself is cute with tons of display pieces and splatter paint artwork for you to look at that gets you in the mood to paint! The splatter paint room had really sticky floors which kept ripping my painting boots off. The experience: The splatter paint experience itself was fun! Before heading in, you put on a big thin white suit with a hood, rubber gloves, rubber booties, and plastic glasses. Make sure to wear clothes you don't mind getting stained because the clothing they give you doesn't work well to protect your clothes. We had to spend a lot of the time cleaning up in the bathroom afterwards which definitely should have been avoided by the establishment. You get about 6 bottles of primary colored paint, a paintbrush, and little cups to mix the colors. However, you can't easily splatter the colors you mix because the paint isn't in bottles at that point. Only one paintbrush was provided with no water so we couldn't reuse the paintbrush. You have an hour to do it but you really only need about 20 minutes. They give you a big box to easily take your painting home in. The service: Terrible. We walked in and no staff member approached or acknowledged us until we said something. The first girl we interacted with was rude and impatient with us. The main guy we worked with explained all the rules and how tos in a very confusing manner and he also spoke really low which was frustrating. Our group of young women couldn't hear most of what he said and he didn't clarify well. Overall, I had fun splattering paint with my friends and will be hanging what I made but I don't ever plan on coming back here and wouldn't recommend it.

Lots of cute gifty items up front too. Stop in here with your kids for a fun side trip when visiting Planet Word!

This is a knowledgeable and highly efficient clay studio for all levels and all ages, whether you want to take a beginner class or you're ready to jump into creating on your own.

If you're not into making pottery yourself, you can find a special piece for yourself or for friends on their artisan shelves with very reasonable pricing. All their pottery is functional, microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe. I highly recommend stopping in!
