Dad booked an experience for the family and we were pleasantly surprised with our entire experience! We were transported to what felt like a hot game show set. There were over 18 games to choose from and all of the ones we got were all perfect for all ages of our family. It felt like a mix of price is right, big brother competitions, and the most insane game shows, I grew up watching! By the end of our game show the whole family was engaged and smiling ear to ear! What a wholesome time. A totally different way to experience "family game night" Definitely worth a go with your family or friends... this is not just a once in a lifetime experience, we're already thinking about when we're going back and who we'd bring with us! The most surprising part of this experience, is that our host Colby sent us a 45 second highlight reel of our time spent! What?! The perfect souvenir of our wonderful afternoon!

Took a big birthday party here…read more It was fun, it felt very special, and I think the kids had fun, but I had to work pretty hard to help the kids team win :) So I like the thing, and it's cool you can have a group of 14 and they make it feel like you're in a studio. But my main thing is I think they need to do a much better job if you do a kids vs parents game, or warn against it (they said it would be fine). I ended up fighting the other parents to throw the match! I would recommend doing two teams of the same level, because overall the experience was cool, but the kids vs parents things was good for the kids, not as much for the adults. And it was kinda pricy for the whole party.

But the kids games (floor is lava and box party) were honestly not that fun, even for the kids.

Glad we did it once, would do the same, but don't feel any desire to go back really.

Carissa was great with sending over details, contracts, was on time, and patient when we weren't! She had a great vibe, explained everything and gave us time to get to know more about each other before and after the hunt. LOVED the 3 min video she sent following our event.

I've been wanting to try a sip and paint place and I was so excited when my friend wanted to come…read morehere for her birthday celebration! We were a party of 7, and we don't paint. If we have, it was definitely years ago LOL. It was cool that they had a small bar and drinks were a reasonable price! Our initial impression was that we were kind of anxious, considering our lack of experience, short time frame, and complexity of the painting. However, Heather (our instructor) began the session by explaining that if it's easier for us to just paint whatever we want or not paint at all, that would be fine. We weren't going to do that but having the reassurance made us feel so much more relieved! It was very easy to follow along the steps and it was actually really fun for our group! Towards the end, we did feel rushed because we were past the session and have not gotten to the last steps, but Heather was able to quickly run us through them and then when she finished, we were still free to sit for a bit to finish up the painting. The experience was very enjoyable for my first time here and even though my painting wasn't the best, I would definitely come back!

It was so cute how it was setup, the drink selection was great and I absolutely love that you can bring your own snacks. There were 4 of us so they let us sit on the end and even let us use a side table for all of our snacks. The painting experience was okay, our instructor was soft spoken so it was hard to hear from the other side of the room. Being on the other side of the room also made it harder to see what the instructor was painting. At some points the instructor would stop giving instruction and would just be focused on her painting so we had to just use our own picture reference. She was still sweet and came to check in a few times. Towards the end she came and helped us clean up our pictures or give us some pointers.

We recently visited to celebrate the completion of a project with a group of about ten people, and it proved to be a perfect setting for our celebration. The venue offers various team-building programs, such as the bake-off challenge, which we chose. With wine and other beverages available, the experience culminates in enjoying a full meal together. I particularly enjoyed the bake-off challenge, as it emphasized teamwork rather than individual effort, and was well-organized. At the end of the challenge, the chef judged the results and selected a winner, making the experience both interesting and fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to engage in small team-building activities followed by a meal.

The portion sizes were super generous; we made tons of baked chorizo croquetas, devoured our entire paella, and still had plenty of lemon ricotta cheesecake left over to take home. Just a heads-up: the class ran from 7:30 to 9:30, so dinner ends up being on the later side. That said, it's totally in line with Spanish dining culture, so no complaints there, just something to keep in mind if you're coming hungry!

Both the instructor and the assistant kept a close eye on the room and stepped in to help rescue our pieces whenever our clay was looking a bit off-track. By the end of the session, we had successfully made a bowl and a cup. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking to try pottery for the first time.
