We had an amazing experience! It was a nice surprise to walk by this since it's my daughter's birthday and the activity was spontaneous and fun! Selena helped us and explained everything so well she's was great! Definitely recommend

The tufting work area.

I had so much fun creating a tufted rug! My instructor was friendly and helpful. It took my 4+ hours to work on a small piece but I need to go back and finish the piece. I highly recommend you book an appointment since it can get busy.

Had a great time taking my Valentine here! Loved the DIY and how unique rug tufting was! They give you a brief tutorial on how to rug tufting is and then you get right into creating your own unique rug. I did wish they gave a bit of a better tutorial, but overall, would def come here again. I do suggest that if this is your first time, do not do XL because it'll be one hell of a workout. If you do decide to do the XL rug, be sure to have a partner with you so if you get tired, you have someone take over.

I found Tutu Fun from other creators online and was interested in trying the candle making class, and was not disappointed with the results! Our class was from 4-6:30, but we ended pretty early and picked up our candles about 15-20 minutes later. It took maybe 15-20 minutes per wax layer to cool down, and in between these times, you could make other molds you wanted to put in or on top of your candles. I used one of the medium sized cups and my girlfriend used one of the large sized cups, and we both were able to make our own matcha candles which we love! Our instructor was very helpful in telling us about what to do and what not to do. I'd highly recommend Tutu Fun for anyone around OC looking for a fun date activity! They have way more than just candle making, but this was a fun experience to try as well!

I came to TuTu Fun for the first craft experience. I've been to the store for shopping, but never for a craft. My friend and I did the Decoden craft. It was fun and I'm happy with what I made, but I have a couple suggestions of how it could be better. First off, they offer a ton of classes in one space, like candle making, rug tufting, acrylic pouring, beaded jewelry, etc. I think it would be really helpful to book 1 craft per hour or something like that. I found it somewhat overwhelming how many things were going on at once. And, then they would only have to explain how to do that specific craft during that time slot, versus over and over again. The rug tufting is really loud, so it could have been nice to either have light music, or even better to only do that craft during certain hours of the day. Another thing is I don't feel like we got much instruction. The girls who helped us were extremely nice and doing their best, but I felt like they may have also been overwhelmed. It was a busy Saturday and in addition to reservation times, they also allow walk ins. It wasn't a calming environment. I sort of felt like I was at a kid's birthday party (which we may have been). If I ever went again, I'd want to do a rental and have the space to just our group. Lastly, I think the pricing should be adjusted. I think there should be a sign up fee and then the individual items you pay for are sold at a lower price point. I liked that we could choose as many charms as we wanted, but the actual items we had to choose from were extremely overpriced and I think a different structure would help people to understand you're paying more for the space, set up/clean up, then you really are for the specific item. Overall it was fun, but I do personally believe there needs to be a bit more organization from the top. Again, all the staff who helped us were extremely kind and doing their best.

Me and my friend did the candle making class and it's definitely pricey but super fun! I made a strawberry matcha latte, which they had the little ice cubes pre-made for. The person teaching us, Ken, was attentive and helpful in getting the desired results. He even let me start over when the color didn't come out the way I had wanted the first time. 11/10 recommend!

Tutu Fun is indeed Too Too Fun. My sisters, girls, and I visited for some family time. We spent two hours decorating picture frames, mirrors, and hair clips with cute and cheesy little charms. Everyone was very creative. My design was kinda boring compared to everyone else but it was fun all the same. They also have rug tufting which we will come back and try. This is located in the Irvine Spectrum. The store is a bit deceiving. If you walk in, you would not immediately know what it is or its purpose. At least I didn't since my sister hosted and she did not tell me anything about what we were doing. Plenty of parking. The service is good. Please come and create your own adventure.

Owner/manager gave us thick wax to pour into our cup

I had a very disappointing experience at Tutu Fun during their candle making workshop. After we poured our wax, the person leading our group completely forgot to give us wicks until someone in our group had to ask when we were supposed to put the wicks in. Which prompted the leader to suddenly remember that inserting the wicks was actually a step that should have happened prior to pouring. Instead of properly restarting, they then instructed us to try putting the wicks in after the wax had already cooled, which made the process messy and difficult. It got worse when the manager/owner came over and stuck a wick into one person's cup, which completely ruined the design they had carefully created. When that person asked to start over because the design had been ruined, the manager/owner initially refused to allow it. The wick the manager forced into the candle eventually came loose and would not stay inside the wax. On top of that, they repeatedly forgot to mix our chosen scents into the wax before pouring. The leader then decided to mix the scent into the cup, ruining the design even more. To make matters worse, they had also run out of several scents, and we were told they had to go to their warehouse to get more. This caused additional delays and made the entire workshop feel unprepared and poorly organized. Especially since scent is a major part of making candles. At one point, the manager/owner gave someone in our group wax that had already cooled down and thickened, making it very hard to pour smoothly into the cup. Because most of the wax wasn't hot enough, it created a large amount of bubbles in the candles. We were told to use a heating gun to fix it, but even then, many bubbles remained and the candles did not look well made. There were so many bubbles that it would have taken 2+ hours to fully remove them. In the end, because there were so many bubbles, we decided not to finish it and left without that candle. When it was time to pay, the manager attempted to charge us $254 for four candles without deducting the deposit we had already paid in advance. When I reminded her, she initially tried to deduct only $100. I had to pull up my receipt for her to remove the correct amount. Overall, the experience felt poorly managed and unprofessional. I would not recommend this candle making experience based on what we went through.

Medium Jelly and Bean Wax Candle

4.5 This was so fun to do! It was a very pretty private session and picking the scents were so nice since they have so many to choose from. I will say that it was $140 for both candles and they ran out of a lot of the decor you can add alongside the glass cup options, so it wasn't to it's fullest potential since it was later in the day. The workers helping us are extremely patient with any questions, but weren't the most interested in making small talk which completely fine! However, it was still an extremely great experience and a nice souvenir!

Jesse was so nice to us and helped us with everything we needed!! She was so nice and my candle cup turned out so pretty thanks to her!! Would come back again‍

This place is so fun to make cool diy projects!!! Went here to do a diy class candle making for my friends bday. Our instructor was Ken, he was very patient and nice. Very helpful and friendly! Ken made our night fsho!!

Enjoyed this cute candle cocktail/drink making class with my girls~ from choosing the scents, to the glasses, and making the drink designs... the experience was so cute and fun!! Ken was a good instructor & Krystal also!! Thank you ^__^

Annie N.

Firstly, thank you to the accommodating staff as I was running about 30 minutes late and they still let my friend and I in with no hassle whatsoever. I let them know over the phone and they were kind to let me know that it was okay as long as I didn't pass a certain time. Secondly, the workers there were incredibly sweet and charming, namely Kenny and Joshie! I did the medium candle package, and helped me create a cocktail-inspired jelly candle. They were so kind when instructing what to do, and they were so fun to chat with. Looking forward to my next visit already

It's good to note you need to book a time online. The class is only $45 and then you pay separately for the frame -- they have different sizes and finishes. When you check in, you'll sign a form and then watch an instructional video on how to make the piece. After that, you can get your tweezers, tray and start choosing the dried flowers you'd like to use. They also have premium flowers that range from around $3 - $5 if you want something extra special. This is truly a one of a kind experience, and while some may say it's expensive, it would be even more to buy in a store. Plus, you're paying for the instruction, memories, materials and art that lasts a lifetime!

A perfect event for a team building or family event. There were a few kids in the class that looked like they were having fun. The instructions were very clear, and the timing was perfect. The instructors leading the class were helpful for guiding the design if asked. I do think they could take a bit more time to frame at the end so everything dries a bit further. It's in a big mall so plenty to do while we wait for that. Would do again!

I enjoyed that you could bring in an idea of your own design & get a custom template. If you know what design you want, have photos to show of your inspo with different variations in case it might be a bit complicated for first timers. Simple designs are encouraged & you can get inspo from the wall of previous work in the work room. It's very much worth the price point since you get a fair amount of freedom with your design & glass colors. I would come back to make another one or try a ring workshop! There's ample parking and so many activity options to choose from. Definitely make a reservation beforehand!

When we arrived, the NBA Playoffs were in full swing, and I loved that they offered two different dining areas for guests who wanted to enjoy the game. My husband and I chose the less crowded section, which turned out to be perfect--our booth was cozy, spacious, and very clean. Taylor was our waiter, and he was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our visit. He definitely had a lot on his plate managing multiple tables, but he handled everything with a great attitude and did his best to stay attentive. Our drinks came out quickly, and I have to give a shoutout to the bartender--the Long Island Iced Tea was absolutely perfect! For appetizers, we ordered the mild buffalo wings, and let me just say... they were the star of the night. So good that I honestly wish I had just ordered another round of those! For our entrées, my husband had the blackened chicken pasta Alfredo, and I went with the chicken Parmesan Alfredo. We both requested extra sauce since they tend to go a little light on it. His dish came out just right, but mine didn't have the extra sauce as requested. I did ask for more, and while they brought out a side of Alfredo, it looked a bit different from what my pasta originally had. The dish wasn't bad, but it's probably not something I would order again. Now dessert--this was a win! We got the Brookie, which is a pan-baked cookie served in slices and topped with ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry, all drizzled with chocolate and caramel. It was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. We also took advantage of a meal special that included a game card, which added a fun touch to the experience. However, by the time the playoff game ended, the gaming area was packed with kids. I do think this location leans more toward children and teenagers, with only a limited selection of games geared toward adults. It would be great to see more updated and balanced options in the future. One unique aspect of this location is the layout--it has a bar in the front and a large bar in the middle of the gaming area, which felt a bit unexpected given how many kid-focused games there are. It might be worth rethinking that balance to better suit all types of guests. Overall, we had a really great time and would definitely recommend this spot for a casual date night--especially for the wings and drinks!

I usually watch movies here during the week, either in the morning or early in the afternoon, when crowds are light, and parking is easy. For concessions, I usually get a popcorn, hot dog, or nachos. I really like the Doritos Nachos with the cheese on the side. You can add jalapeños or extra cheese for an extra cost. There are fountain drinks that the staff will fill, or you can grab a bottled drink from the fridge at the cashier. There are a few other food and drink options to the left and right of the lobby, as well as a bar for alcoholic drinks. One of the main reasons to visit this Regal location is the 70mm IMAX theater. I've seen Marvel movies, Superman, Oppenheimer, Sinners, and recently Project Hail Mary. I love how large the screen is, and the audio is outstanding and immersive. The ideal rows, in my opinion, are G through J, which offer a good sightline for the enormous screen. Other theaters I've been in have been clean, with seats, screens, and audio systems that are fairly well maintained. ScreenX (larger than regular screens) and 4Dx (with motion) also offer a unique theater experience. The bathrooms are clean, and the men's room has plenty of urinals and stalls. I haven't had any issues with the staff or services provided. You can purchase tickets on the mobile app or at the self-service kiosk inside the lobby. Earn and redeem rewards through the app as well. I look forward to watching another blockbuster movie here.
