I've been looking for a new classical guitar instructor for over two years and Valley View Music actually had an excellent one. The classes are reasonably priced and I love their online lesson system with integrated billing. I like to arrive to class a bit early so I'm glad that they have a large waiting room. Overall great atmosphere for learning. They have instrument rentals, essential supplies for sale, and extremely friendly service.

Just book it! We…read morecame here for a date on a Friday night and it was the best thing ever. Staff is wonderful, great vibe, everything is reasonably priced (bottle of wine was $24). I haven't done anything artistic in 15 years. They made it so easy and anxiety free!! Will definitely be coming again.

Corky was so much fun! I had never experienced the board making side of corky canvas…read more Personally, I would rather pay to make a board then a canvas. 3 reasons why: 1. You can use stencils 2. You dab/blot paint on 3. I like the wood The drink options were okay, they had no seltzer's which I was bummed about. The bubbly on hand was great flavor, I got the peach flavor... YUM! The instructors were good, even though I had to wave them down for help. I wished they came around more often but they were attending to a party of 15+! This is a great birthday idea, be ready to spend 2.5-3 hours here to perfect your board!

Absolute wonderland if you play stringed instruments or even if you just want to look at an…read moreincredible variety of instruments - there are a lot of unique vintage pieces here as well as a great selection of more typical modern ones. So many one-of-a-kind things here. The most beautiful ones are made here by John, the luthier/owner. He's happy to talk to you about instruments and to show you around his shop and the rest of the building - part of it is a vintage theater, the kind that used to be found in all parts of Omaha. Fascinating! Not long ago I stopped in to look at guitars. Mind you, I don't actually PLAY guitar, but I have gotten to a somewhat competent level at ukulele and baritone ukulele, and therefore I am craving the novelty of something new, that I can be bad at. I mentioned this to the woman working there, and she said "well, why don't you just take a class with John and he can teach you to build one"? Wow, this woman GETS ME. A total level up from what I was considering doing. I'm still thinking about doing this. But on this visit, I was just here to get a string, as moments earlier I had purchased a uke at a thrift store and it had a broken string. John had his assistant put on the string. He offered to show me how to put on the string, but since I already know (but just didn't have a string) I looked around the store and stroked a lovely cat on the counter. Which she enjoyed until she abruptly didn't, we know how cats are. Anyway, John wouldn't accept any money for the string or for the putting-on of the string. That was nice. Great place!

Outstanding craftsmanship! I took my old 1978 Giannini guitar for a bridge and crack repair and…read moreeverything came back better than I expected! It is extremely hard to find where the crack was and the bridge looks like it never had come off. Everything sounds and look as it did before. Thank you again for a superb job.

My daughter looks forward to her class each week, feels so special having autonomy with her dance equipment and practice, and loves her teacher. And how impressive that her class has a live pianist! As a parent, I feel they truly cared for us when helping us find the right class, talked through her previous experiences, and allowed us to try something before committing - that is rare. I also love the regular (but not overwhelming) communication and parent portal to my bill. I'm a happy new dance mama!

Our teacher was fantastic with creating something original and special for us. My 2 year old takes ballet as well there and has absolutely loved it. I am glad the littles can go barefoot. She constantly is doing plie and pointing and flexing her feet in the car. I would say she is hooked. We love the new location and how big it is! Parking is also easy to get in and out of vs the old spot. Highly recommend.

Axe throwing was always something that my wife and I wanted to do, so we finally got to do it on a…read moredate night a few months back. One important thing to note is that you have to schedule your throwing time beforehand on their website. At the time, they supposedly did not accept walk-ins, but I do not know if that has or will change. Also, closed-toe shoes are required, so leave the sandals at home! The building itself is pretty basic and not a lot of decorating flare (which is fine, because I am here to throw axes). When you arrive, you have to sign the waiver, you have an opportunity to buy food, drink,etc and then you wait for your time to come. Once it is your scheduled time, you are taken back to your lane, giving a demo and overview of the various games and operating rules. After that, you are on your own but our guide was nearby most of the night if we had questions. He was able to answer questions and take food/drink orders. For the menu, they had popcorn and other small snack menu and a selection of canned beers, seltzers, and ciders. Prices were reasonable for the items my wife and I purchased. For the axe-throwing itself, you can reserve by the hour or lane. One hour is $20 per person or $35 for two hours (6 people per lane, includes training prior to starting). You can also rent two lanes for an hour for $200 (up to 12 people) or two hours for $350. There are a variety of games, including a traditional target, a Connect 4 style game, 21, a matching game, and more! Players are given clever names such as "Pain in the Axe" and "Axe Hole". You can also choose to use an axe or throwing star for additional fun or challenge. It's actually a bit more tiring than it seems. The atmosphere was very welcoming and there were plenty of bathrooms and they were clean and had all supplies stocked. Staff was friendly and helpfulWhen we were done, we were taking selfies near the entrance (there is a backdrop and props), and the hostess offered to take our picture. We both had fun and are looking at going back with the kids.

My daughters both attend Omaha Dance Center. We came here after going to another studio that I…read morefound to be too competitive. I wanted a studio that was more relaxed that taught them to dance rather than drilled a routine. This studio does that! Miss Parker and team are sweet and patient with the kids. My only complaint has been a lack of organization from a paperwork standpoint ...but my kids have a great time there, the recitals are fun and the recital costumes are always VERY cute (and affordable).

I signed my daughter up for her first class and as many other parents have experienced (here or…read moreelsewhere) my child wasn't "ready" for a group class on her own. She was terrified. Clingy. Refusing to try. Petrified, really. It was frustrating and embarrassing enough to be "that family" but to make things worse, both teachers completely ignored us rather than coming up and talking to us, taking her hand, trying to engage her (even briefly), or just saying to me like, "It's OK. This has happened before." SOMETHING. We were the elephants in the room. Sad, sad elephants. My daughter and I talked about it the entire week following and I thought she was ready to give it another try the next Tuesday but just before class she had another tearful meltdown saying that she didn't want to go. I didn't have it in me that particular day to put either one of us through what we'd experienced week one, so we went home. I emailed the studio (twice) and sent a facebook message to see if we could get a refund or credit since she's clearly not ready and they weren't doing anything to make her feel any more at ease. I have gotten zero replies. I would expect at least an "I'm sorry it was difficult, here are some things we can try next week..." type of response if they have a strict no refund policy but we didn't get even that. So, we're out well over $100 (with the class, clothes, and shoes) and we won't go back there in 6 months when she is maybe ready because it's quite frankly, really bad business to not help a child/parent get through this if you won't do a refund, and really bad customer service to not even reply to emails/facebook messages. Three of them now. I'm in the business of customer service. This is not how you make longtime loyal clients. You treat them right and they will come back and they will tell all of their friends. Disheartening. I hope the $60 I lost is used to do a customer service training session/best business practice webinar. It's needed... :(
