First time making my own chunky blanket, and loved it!…read more The Space:: Our areas were set up and ready to go at craft tables in the main room. This room also housed the bar area. The store was filled with all kinds of artworks ~ different colors and textures scattered throughout with projects awaiting pick up in the next room. It was clean and spacious, along with unisex restrooms. The Service:: Our multi-talented instructor (and bartender) did a great job leading the class and crafting drinks! Creating the lasso and first row was a bit tricky ~ but the hand knitting that followed flowed like a pro. Focus is still important as you want to make sure you're consistent with your loops (blanket size). So if you're new to hand knitting, this may not be the best activity if you want to catch up with the girls. It's perfect to take your mind off of the day-to-day stressors and create a unique gift for you or a loved one. I ordered two drinks in between: iced pumpkin latte and mackintosh mule. Not as potent as I prefer, but quenched my thirst. Both drinks were more on the sweet side imo. The Product:: I am in LOVE with my new blanket and currently scavenging for chunky yarn deals! I've unlocked a new obsession. The Verdict:: I would definitely return to make another blanket and/or to craft something new.

The Madison Children's Museum is floor after floor of both indoor and outdoor…read moreactivities (all the way up to the roodtop) for kids of all ages, all with a view of the gorgeous Capitol building! The creative play could last all day if you have the time. There's everything from water play (you'll probably get wet!), climbing, interactive play zones of so many themes, art and even small live animals! Even as an adult, it never got boring. My 2.5yo daughter and her friends just couldn't get enough of it. Lots of opportunities for kids to learn while playing. The staff are incredibly friendly and I believe all, if not most, are volunteers. There's a pay-what-you-can food area, which is so thoughtful. Very bright interior with plenty of natural light. Clean and updated play spaces for such a big facility to keep up with! Very clean restrooms. Small area for parents who have babies to sit in to play while their older kids explore. We've been to other children's museums and this is one of my favorites. The cost for anyone over the age of 1yo is currently $18 each (or 10% online) but if you're planning on spending a day here, totally worth it. I do think it would be a little more reasonable for ages 1-8 to be a little less than a full adult ticket price but it is what it is. If you live within an hour or have a larger family, it's definitely worth it to get a season pass' some include guest passes for friends. It's a worthy investment or a great gift! There's nothing more heartwarming seeing your child smile nonstop and exploring while in a learning environment. Stop on by, you'll love it and sleep well afterwards! One staff member said they're expanding so we're looking forward to that in the future.

I purchased a few items because of so many super cute options (it was so hard to choose!) and with…read morethe help of a yelp coupon, I couldn't help but splurge a little bit. The first couple projects we completed were the string art kits. The curbside pickup was seamless and the staff was super friendly! I got home to find the wrong color board but the issue was addressed promptly and Revel went above and beyond to make sure their customers were happy! Picking up a new board couldn't have been easier. Also, when I was at the end of my project and about 15 nails short, they were gracious enough to mail them out to me so I didn't have to drive from Milwaukee to Madison. The customer service here is phenomenal and really made me feel like they cared about their customers. I will be the first to say that I'm not a crafty person but the "Love" design was one I was willing to put forth the effort for and I'm so glad I did. Hammering all those little nails took a little more time than I expected and I'm glad this was a project for home so I could work on it as time allowed. Our next project is the etched coasters and can't wait to see how those turn out. I look forward to being able to visit Revel during "normal" times and take advantage of their workshops and events. Thank you Revel for the at-home crafting experience and thanks to Yelp for the sweet savings! :)

Each person could choose their own crafts and get the supplies they'd like. They have several different thinks to choose from including a decorative tray, a beer carrier, a picture, glitter art, jewelry, etc. They also have a glitter and sequin bar, a yarn bar, and construction paper area to choose your decorations from. They have a bar area to order drinks or snacks from. You are also able to bring your own food in to snack on. There are instructors there to help you if you want any assistance with any craft. Overall, it was such a fun experience! Great for a girls night or for anyone who likes to craft and socialize. I would highly recommend booking an event at Revel!! :)

Finally made it out to Enchanted Valley Acres for their Fall activities and it did not disappoint…read more Good parking, very spread out so it didn't feel crowded on a busy Saturday and lots of well thought out activities for all. Pumpkins were out front so easy to buy on your way out after playing. Had a variety of food and drink options plus live music and recorded music which was both pleasant and appropriate. Very impressed with a ton of seating - benches, chairs, tables - all over the facility so parents could sit when their kids were playing. Had chickens, goats and dog named Ozzy that the kids loved. Staff was on hand in almost every area to help or answer questions. Activities were well thought out too providing coverage in some for shade and washing stations for messes. Three large slides coming down the hillside were a big hit. We took the wagon ride around the Christmas tree area and pumpkin patch too which was relaxing and nice. Cost to get in was appropriate and cover just about everything except one activity. Additional expenses inside were minimal which was nice. Loved that they had a Toms Coffee truck for the adults and a Kona Ice truck for the kids (PLUS it's allergy safe for my peanut tree nut allergic daughter). Overall A+. Might be geared towards younger kids a touch, but my 12-year old and her friend loved it.

Sooo much to do! The giant slide is super fun, and the food/activities are amazing. Highly recommendread more

I wasn't sure what to expect, given that Black Earth is a small town, but I was blown away! What a cool little space, only 15 minutes west of Middleton, WI. There is plenty for kids to do from ages 1-10 years. The museum is divided into small activity rooms with different themes. There is a cave, night sky room, food market and kitchen, farm/tractor theme and rock wall with balance stones to name a few. It appears that they are currently working on building a veterinary clinic too. The main space had a large climbing/play structure as well as a music stage and my absolute favorite, flying squirrel exhibit with a suction tube to make the brown scarf "squirrels" fly off the tree! There is also 0-18 month old room for the littles and a cool art space. The upstairs was closed, but from what I could see it looks like there is a toy library (what a great idea)! Admission is $6 per person, and memberships are also available. Free street parking is available as well. We ended up spending and hour and a half and only left because it was getting close to nap time. Such a fun way to spend the morning. If you have a child, I highly recommend checking it out!

The arcade felt small and the prizes available were lackluster but we enjoyed playing several rounds of skee ball. Would prefer to see a few more skill games and not as many quarter drop type machines. Most of the machines were priced at $2-2.50. We didn't try any of the other activities during this visit but do plan on doing so in the future. The escape room looked quite intriguing and we plan on ensuring we have a reservation and allocate enough time for it on our next visit. Bowling has late night specials starting at 9pm most nights.

This is a great energy consumer for littles! We'll absolutely be back when we're in town.
