She also does off site paintings throughout Anchorage and Eagle River. I enjoy the various crafts and projects available. There is literally something for everyone at Julie's studio. Classes available that I haven't done are furniture upcycle, wooden layered paintings, large resin projects, etc.

I took an alcohol ink class here and really enjoyed myself. It is a small studio tucked away in…read moreSpenard. There was four of us so it was nice and intimate and a lot of interaction with our teacher unlike other painting companies in town. Alcohol ink was new to me, but I'm fairly pleased with my outcome! The host was vibrant, talkative and engaging. She let us play and test the waters with the inks before diving right in to create our masterpiece. She offers so many different classes; alcohol ink, wood burning, water color, acrylics, terrarium building, succulent classes. I really look forward to joining in on another class. The wood burning in particular sounds fun! Price range is $50-60 which is about average. It's totally worth it to me because of the smaller class size and intimate atmosphere about it. Did I mention it was a sip and paint?! Yep! She provides snacks and wine! I divulged in the Moscato :)

She indicated that the instructor was new and she was hesitant to utilize her again after that event. She did give me a full reimbursement and extended the invitation to give the studio another try. I have not yet went back as I have recently returned from vacation, but I will. Honestly, just having the owner make contact and offer as well as comply with a full reimbursement speaks volumes. There could be a lot of other ways this was handled but I think the owner did it right.

Cute little gift shop with quality coffee drinks and the best customer service I've had in a while…read more I got to try the local syrups to help be decide between the spruce tip or Alaskan syrup. They have instagramable neon signs, local made gifts for just about anyone you know (but they don't seem crafty, and are quality items). I just wish I had more time so that I could have participated in their drop in creative studio space. I love making art, so these are my people. Even the coffee cups had local art on them - a different design with each size. It is a family business with nice people, and I endorse this shop and cafe! P.S. I am a coffee snob and enjoyed my drink. And the spruce tip did not taste like a Christmas tree as one might expect it to.

The venue is spacious, very clean, and comfortable. Before you even touch an axe, there will be "axe master" to teach you the techniques and safety instructions. I was paired with the owner, Mike who is an incredibly personable person. I discovered that I am coordinated-challenged because throwing axes does not come to me naturally but Mike and his other employer were friendly enough to give me form corrections that helped me reach my bullseye! We reserved our slot up until 11pm and some of us ran late as we were arriving from the valley but Mike was pretty flexible because there were no more guests at the business- he told us we all could stay longer. I also got the chance to throw other weapon that you see ninjas use in the movies! It was a good morale booster because I was starting to get frustrated with throwing axes in the beginning. I'd definitely come back to this business in the near future. P.S. it is an amazing stress reliever! Because this reviewer happened to be on Whole30 at time of the visit, she realized that throwing weapons are also a great vice!

Not only are there axes but there are all sorts of fun things to throw including ninja stars and knives.

Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and I will be back!

Let him learn a little history and have fun at the same time. The price is just right, $8 for adults and i think it was $6 for kids. We walked in and the gift shop is to the right, you know that's where he went first lol. We got him to walk around and he was so excited to see bones, artifacts, and some planets he knew already. We took lots of pictures on his adventures today and we got some great shots. He ended it in the play area we're he built puzzles, dug for bones and took a picture as a astronaut. That was the coolest part for him. Thinking of getting a membership so we have a regular place to take him on the weekends.

However, you might not be able to see how they are related/connected to one another... because, really, they're not.

We came to play mini golf!…read more I was actually surprised how empty it was for a Friday night. Nobody was playing any games and there were three groups total in the mini golf area. I think we spent maybe 30 minutes playing the 18 holes with two people. I like the theming of the golf areas, one underwater and one arctic. The holes were kind of simple, but a few had cool things sprinkled in. Maybe 4 total had something cool. It was $9 for 18 holes, each person. No 3D glasses were offered but don't really need them.

All of the kids were miserable cause they were freezing we all had to wear our full winter gear inside. It's so dark in the "party room". 9/10 of the arcade games did not work. Definitely not worth the money. $200 to rent the "room" and then $20 per person/ kid on top of that to golf. It was just pathetic to be completely honest. They are many other places to host bday part events that are well worth the money and price. I wouldn't recommend this or do it again.
