    Such a fun and unique experience! My friend and I joined the 2-hour plushie workshop and each got to make our own plushie from start to finish. The instructors were incredibly patient, helpful, and made the whole process easy to follow, even if you've never sewn before. The workshop was well-paced, and it was so rewarding seeing our plushies come to life. The atmosphere was cozy, creative, and perfect for a fun date, girls' day, or family activity. We had an amazing time and left with two adorable handmade plushies and great memories. I would definitely come back and recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a creative and memorable experience in Pasadena!

    This was so fun!! As a bunch of 30-40 year olds we were surprised at how fun this was. Bring your girlfriends, daughters, sisters, and all your loved ones to struggle with fun together!! We easily booked our classes on their site. There was 4 of us and we each had to sign up for admission. You get to pick your animal, color, and accessories right when you book so be ready. We even added extra accessories in store and it was totally fine to pay additional when you're done, but highly recommend picking accessories ahead of time because they have a team that makes your accessory by hand days before. The place had a small door to enter through from the street. You have to call them to have them open the door. Then you walk down this staircase and see a small studio. It was super cute being all white and made the plushies stand out. There are different stations you do together and with the help of the staff. They set you up at each and give you clear directions on how to build your plushie. They are only feet away if you ever have issues or need help which happened a lot actually so glad they were on hand to help answer questions and save us when the war got stuck. Not an easy crafting activity by any means, it requires you to pay attention to where you are catching yarn and sticking needles but it was well worth the short breakdown moments. The total activity took about 2 hours and they don't allow any outside food or drink inside. You can bring a water bottle but thats it. The staff was fantastic. These girls were so patient and have so much experience. They did a lot of work keeping our plushies from dying before they even came alive. Please make sure you tip the girls when you leave because they do so much to make our plushie as cute as possible. So many customization elements throughout including where you put ears and noses. Super cute! My girlfriends and I had the best time and made awesome memories struggling to make our cute plushies. I especially had fun stuffing them and making them into the shape I want. I made a yellow bunny which was the 1st of its kind according to the staff so I felt like mine was extra unique. They have a ton of options combos for animals colors and accessories so have fun picking. Quality of the plushie itself was awesome. I have mine living on my couch and it's held up so well. Super soft and just adorable to look at. Definitely a place you can have a fun get together with your friends and family and everyone will enjoy it.

    This is such a fun experience. I chose to knit the unicorn which is a very light pink. The horn is already crocheted so once the body is completed and stuffed, you get to sew it on the area you desire. The eyes, cheeks, mouth, and ears are the same. So, if you want an unconventional/silly plushie, go for it! The other crocheted items like the boba, ice cream cones, bows, or flowers are additional and vary in price. They're such cute additions to your plushie! The instructors are very helpful and walk you through each step. If you get stuck or make a mistake, they can easily fix it. I think I'm going to bring my niece here for her 7th birthday since 7 is the youngest that can attend.

    Such a fun experience! The workers were so kind, patient and helpful! We had a party of 6 people and the experience was wonderful!

    I'm focused hahahah

    Love love love!! Such a fun activity and you leave with the CUTEST plushie!! It takes like 1.5 hours and it's not too hard at all!

    Came here for a birthday celebration and the staff were very informative and helpful! The plushie turned out so cute!

    We reserved Plushumi as a couples activity for a friend's birthday and had an amazing time! Although it seems fitting for just kids, Plushumi was very therapeutic for us. The plushie workshop is very hands on and perfect for an afternoon downtime activity. It's a great date idea and you leave with super cute pals. Christina helped us throughout the process and was so nice and amazing to work with. She guided us throughout the process and made this experience a day to remember. Everyone was very nice as well and stopped by to check out our creation. Definitely recommend! Great for kids7+ and can host multiple groups.

    It's our first time here and it was a fun and unique experience. The instructor we had on the day was patient and very helpful.

    We were in the area for the weekend, and I wanted to find something fun and unique for my daughter and me to do together. I stumbled upon Plushumi on Yelp and managed to book the last available appointment for the next few days -- so I was pretty excited! Just a heads-up: Plushumi is located in the basement of the building, so you won't easily see a sign from the street. Once we found it, though, we immediately felt welcomed. The two ladies working there were incredibly sweet, patient, and helpful. They explained everything clearly, gave examples, and were always available if we needed any assistance. The first part of our appointment was smooth, relaxing, and genuinely fun. As later appointment times started arriving, I noticed some people came without reservations, which created a bit of a rushed environment. The staff stayed kind, gracious, and attentive throughout, but you could tell they were understandably overwhelmed trying to accommodate everyone. Overall, we had an amazing time. We left with the cutest plushies and added accessories at the end. It was such a sweet bonding experience and a perfect activity for quality time with someone you love. I highly recommend Plushumi and would absolutely return.

    Samples for inspiration.

    Went to Plushumi to celebrate our friend's birthday. I made a build a bear for my girlfriend years ago before and this experience was much more hands on and very customizable. You pick the color and what kind of animal you'd like from their sets. Whole experience was about 2 hours. The process was straightforward and simple with some sewing parts but the staff are friendly and accommodating to help you out. Christina was very helpful! Overall great experience and you leave with a new friend! I ended up doing a Beige dog. The add ons are the items your animal could appear to be holding. Those are additional.

    OMG literally so fun!!! I already wanna come back and the staff were so warm, welcoming and helpful

There was so much to do, from walking through the river and doing water play, to sand play in the pretend lake, to crafts (that we didn't have time for), to climbing equipment, and building/engineering/physics activities. Plenty of things to do both indoor and outdoor. The physics section is great for older kids too, even middle school (but the rest of the museum is definitely geared to elementary).

The museum is both indoors and outdoors. There's several activities that are geared towards older kids such as sitting on seat and self-pull to go up. Or a tug a war type thing. The other outdoor activities are for all ages, they have areas where you can bang on stuff to hear the sounds. There's an indoor which I feel the younger ones loves such as the train table or the parachute. Overall there's activities for all ages. There was even a spot if someone wants to read and do storytime. Fun overall. It can get pricey. I'm not big on places charging adults as it truly is more for the kids.

Before the class starts, the instructor gives a clear demo, and throughout the session, there are screens showing techniques step-by-step, so kids can comfortably follow along and adapt at their own pace. Nothing feels difficult or intimidating. The instructor quietly walks around, making sure each child has what they need and offering support without interrupting their creative flow. They're attentive, calm, and truly professional. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality of instruction and support. Check for promotions or deals. Overall, it's a relaxed, well-organized space where kids can enjoy creating freely and parents can feel at ease. We had such a great experience and would definitely come back

Quality control is critical for indoor playgrounds, and this Eagle Rock / Glendale location is excellent. The facility (see photos) includes a little town for younger kids, an indoor crawling / play area for mid-age kids, and a bounce area and climbing wall for older kids. I would have preferred the bounce area more appropriately gated off to avoid inadvertent bounces outside (see photo). The ideal demographic for this type of facility is 3-6 years old. Kids older than this will bore quickly of the trampolines and climbing wall; kids younger than this will get stepped on. I would anticipate most kids will be entertained for 1-2 hours, no more. Outside the play area is an underutilized area with untouched pay-to-play games and simulators (which would be better utilized with a larger play area), and an upstairs seating area with CCTVs and massage chairs. Again, space better spent on a larger play area. Outside is a cafe offering overpriced (but not egregious) snacks, pizza, crepes, and coffee. Expect prices about 25-50% more than what would be expected at a dedicated cafe. TV screens playing KidzBop on loop surround the walls. I thought the volume was appropriate, contrary to other reviews. The staff was effective but somewhat aloof, as is expected for the hourly Gen Z employee. Above all, this location was impeccably clean (the bathroom slightly less so), a critical aspect of an indoor playground, and the most important distinguishing feature between a successful and failing place like this. Price of admission is $25 for all day for the first child, and $20 for siblings after the first, which is reasonable. Food prices elevated, as per above. Overall, My Lil' Town is a respectable, clean, effective place to bring your 3-6yo child for an hour or two of fun. Facility: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5
