We've been going to Young Art for years and it's consistently been a great experience. The instructors are patient and encouraging, and the environment is calm and well-run. Our child stays focused and genuinely enjoys the projects. Convenient mall location too. Always happy to come back. read more

I had a rare weekday off with one of my daughters. I asked her what she wanted to do, and she said that she wanted to go somewhere with me and make art together. I was stumped. Aside from Petroglyph and Tutugether--neither of which was the least bit appealing--I couldn't come up with anything. I looked online for a while, and then suggested that we just go and wander around Valley Fair for a while before picking her sister up. I happened to park at Monroe St, and we took the elevator up, the escalator down, and TADA! We were magically standing right in front of this place! We had the most delightfully incredible time making little lands together. She's sweetly said that she wanted to make Mal from The Descendants, and the staff helped her with this. See the final products! We did this in about 1.5 hours. read more

4.5 stars We booked this art studio for a birthday party and the staff delivered a fantastic event. The instructors kept the session well-paced and the kids engaged throughout. All guests took home their own personally created masterpieces, a little container of slime, and, most importantly, happy memories. On-site staff was friendly, professional, and accommodating. Booking is easily done online. The owner is communicative as I was frequently kept informed during the planning process. It's perfectly situated within the mall. Drop off the kids and grab a coffee/snack or do a little shopping. They have a convenient partnership with California Pizza Kitchen (also in the mall) should your party decide to continue the celebration afterwards. The only cons: it was a bit warm in the room, prices have increased quite a bit recently. Would recommend if your budget allows. Take the earliest time slot if you do. This is a premier shopping destination in the south bay. It gets extremely busy and parking may be difficult. read more

$40 for the slime and they can't even afford to give a jar for the slime. They stick it in a little plastic bag and the slime is no good after. Sad the slime kitchen closed down. read more

What a fabulous idea! I had my grown up bday art party at young art. In the beginning I was a bit nervous. However, everything turned out fantastic! The staff Jenna and Asha were friendly , professional and accommodating. They provided all the art supply so me and my friends could show up in style and have fun. The art studio is conveniently located inside of the Westfield mall. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have a creative and memorable birthday party ! read more

Young Art - Adult art party ! - Art Classes Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My kids have been coming to this studio for the past few years and they absolutely love it. The can do a variety of fun things here and they always have new things to try. The pricing was a little confusing at first, but once you understand how it works, it is a great way to entertain your kids. The staff is always so friendly and happy to help. We have been here for birthday parties or just for drop in hours and they never disappoint. Our latest adventure was to participate in the mommy and me classes for Mother's Day. As the mom, it was so fun to spend a quality hour with my child (each individually) doing what they love. And to top it off, we went home with a pretty cool memory from the day. It was definitely one of my most memorable Mother's Day celebrations. We will definitely be back. read more

We love coming to this Art studio!! The teachers are great and my kids love the options available - clay, slime and canvas paintings. The location and hours are convenient too. It is a bit expensive but affordable if you buy class pass. Overall, well worth your investment. read more

My child and I visited the studio today, and the girl at the front desk was incredibly rude. When we entered, she was in the back and simply stared at us. So, we waited a few minutes until she came to the front. We inquired if they were accepting walk-ins, and she asked us to stand there while she called someone. We waited for about 20 minutes, and people who arrived after us were already seated. We approached her again to ask if they were still accepting walk-ins, but she was even more rude. I requested to speak to the manager, but she refused to do so and stated that she would not take any disciplinary action against herself, regardless of who I spoke to. I felt uncomfortable leaving my child alone with her. If that's how she treats adults, I can't imagine how she treats children who are left under her care. read more

I've been taking my child here for a while now and it has always been amazing. I got to spend time with my son for the Mother's Day Session and it was so much fun. The staff like always are so sweet and amazing at what they do. I absolutely recommend others I bringing their children here read more

Signed up my daughter for the slime lab today. She was sitting there unattended for 10 min... not a place for you to drop off your kid and go shopping. read more

Purchased a class for my daughter in 2022 and when I found out they were still requiring the kids to mask up to enter, even though the county was no longer enforcing it I asked for a refund. The owner refused and only gave me a credit. 2 years later (2024) I tried again, was told the class only includes drawing on white paper with pencil, in order to do anything else you have to pay additional fees. What a scam. Also, I observed a few of their instructors on their phones and not interacting in a friendly and happy manner with the students. They seem to be all about money and not about service or the kids. Will not be using my credit, not worth it. read more

Stuff leave little kid alone and work with other clients, this place only works well at your first visit. Once you purchased package, they don't care about your experience at all. Feel sorry for my son, he will never get same experience and assistance in the future like his first time. The stuffs are lack of basic professional including the front desk. No one said hi and no good bye once you paid and get in to wait. read more

The pricing/package here is inconsistent. On a prior visit, our child was allowed to work independently and was charged a reasonable price. Then today we came back and asked for that same package but was not offered and no explanation was provided. If you changed your pricing, it would be nice to let the customers know. But even so, increasing the pricing two folds would be very unreasonable. I don't believe there has been a change in pricing but rather there's miscommunication between management and those working there as to what packages can be offered. Until this issue gets resolved, I would not recommend this business. read more

Young Art at Valley Fair seems like a fun concept, but my experience was unfortunately mixed. While the idea of a drop-in art studio for kids is great, the way they prioritize customers leaves something to be desired. Here's what happened: I was waiting in line with a few other people who had reservations or were ready to pay. Then, a couple with two kids stopped outside the entrance, just observing. The receptionist completely ignored those of us in line, went over to the family, and spent a good 5+ minutes chatting, painting a butterfly on one kid's hand, and even painting another child's nails. I understand being understaffed, but a simple acknowledgment or even having a self check-in system for existing customers would have gone a long way. It felt like walk-ins and potential new customers were always given priority. Overall: Young Art might be fine if you just need a place to drop the kids off while you shop. But if you're serious about your child learning art, I'd recommend looking for a studio with a bit more focus on existing students. Considering the unsatisfied experience so far and the parking burden coming here, I just wish they can give me refund read more

I've been taking my kids here for several years now and they enjoy it sometimes I'll drop them off and have lunch or do a little shopping. They enjoy it and they are very proud of what they have created there. They also have camps. I've had my two kids go there at camps during the summertime and they absolutely love it. This is a great place for them to relieve stress and use their creative mind. read more

We are new to Young Art thanks to Silicon Valley Toddlers suggestion. We have taken 4 or 5 art classes since shelter in place began. When young art first launched this option, suggested ages were not included and we joined an advanced class accidentally. After they added the suggested ages, my daughter has been very pleased with attending and is able to follow along and keep up. They also have art kits you can buy online. Here's the link to the registration site: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/young-art-usa-30018215843 read more

Went there for a summer camp. Screen time during lunch is not an option for us. Will not come back.

I visited here a couple of years ago, and it had really been an unsatisfied experience. They did the whole painting for my son, and he did not do any of it. We had credits for more sessions and asked for a refund, and they would not. I had left a review before, but they had called out my sons name, and I keep that private. I'm not the only one they have been doing that to as well. They do not respect privacy or customer satisfaction at all. read more

Long overdue review. We've been coming here for ~6 years with gaps in between. Great place to bring your child to make a gift for a grandparent. We also utilize the camps (available during school breaks and also Saturdays and Sundays). Love the flexibility and cancellation policy. You won't find a better one. Camp credits are transferrable between families. One of my children was sick this week, so the healthy one brought a friend. My kids always enjoy themselves and come home with some pretty fun stuff. read more

Shopped by here a few weeks for stocking stuffers for the kids. Stopped by today and ended up getting a family plan for the kids. They had a promotion in getting additional hours with our family plan purchase. We did 30min sessions while we left the kids to do some shopping. The kids had a blast drawing Pokémon and dinosaurs. Can't wait to come back some more to see the kids artwork. The kids were brought to another location which had the social distancing and the art supplies. read more

I have brought my kids to young art for a few months now. The first time we came in, my 5 year old was a little shy and so we waited until my older daughter was back from a trip and took them both in! We were a little nervous leaving them somewhere without us being present. We started with 30 minutes, and came back to check on them and extended for another 30 minutes! When we came back, our kids did not want to leave! Now, weekends come about and they ask to go there! Which is amazing because it allows us adults some MUCH NEEDED time together. I also had a HUGE party over the weekend and had young art there. 3 instructors for 3 hours. Face painting, Painting, Drawing Clay/slime art- and I do mean ART! And the parents of the party were amazed at how INCREDIBLE the 3 artists were. HUGE GIANT THANK YOU to Alicia, Claire and Kyle! You guys made the party an absolute BLAST! Thank you!!! read more

This is our kids favorite spot. We pre bought a package with hours and not only do our kids love coming here at least once a month, this place has also been great about hosting camps during breaks. There's a variety of options from simple drawing, 3D art, and painting. The staff is extremely attentive and care about the kids. We started our youngest son at 3 years old and while he was squirmy (one time they took a pillow out and thought he was going to fall asleep in class due to a missed nap), but the teachers are patient and my squirmy 3 year old now looks forward to it. My 6 year old can handle the more advanced art projects and love the variety. Big plus - parents drop off the kids and we get some free time in the mall! This is our go to place and a saving grace for parents. read more

Our first time here! Baby sitting my best buddy's daughter. She loves drawing/painting, while waiting for Din Tai Fung, we figured painting should be fun! And fun it was! Young kids attending school while working PT here. I enjoyed Gia helps on my first piece of art very much. Ginhee was very sweet and helpful. She did suggested for us to do more sessions. Like any business, up-sell is a must! However she wasn't pushing at all. She was just giving us an option, and I appreciate that. I'm glad I didn't pay toward the end. My friend's daughter ended up enjoy it as much as I did so we committed for 6 hours at $190, I thought it was a bargain! Summer is here and what's a better way to spend time with my friends' kids :-) We are already looking forward coming back for more sessions! Can't wait to see what I get to paint next! Great spot for your little ones or even teenagers to spend time here! You learn new techniques, get creative and if you are mom/dad, you can shop till you drop without caring for them! It's a win win situation! read more

Simply put, what a great service and environment. Brought my niece for her birthday loved the hands on training and the instructor was great. Had a wonderful time, very educational. Gin is amazing gave us a very detailed presentation. Love the idea of hands on training and feeling empowered. Will definitely recommend it. read more

I have been taking my son Sebastian here since he was 2! This place is very accommodating and does/will tend to your child's needs. I typically watch my son all throughout his session and the attention they give him is unbelievable. Its as if he has his very own private art teacher. He started liking and appreciating art and looks forward to going to his "private" art lessons every week!!! I referred them to my other friends, and they haven't disappointed me!!! They do a great job that I'm at loss for words on how great they are! (And "IF" your child gets tired of painting and/or drawing, they have other activities such as molding/sculpting clay and slime) They've helped my son follow instructions and have a deeper appreciation for art! read more

Don't be fooled by the photos they post or the art on the wall, this place loves taking your money and little to show for it. Our son spent 60 mins and walked away with an arc chest, and a head of a figure my son was dying to draw. There's a great salesperson there naked Jenny. Be careful with her. She will work her magic showing you all of the cool mediums you can use (crayons, water paint, etc). She will go to great lengths to convince you. She did to us. However, afterward, I asked about the process and she told us "he was in good hands with one of their best teachers" and once we saw what was being drawn, she asked if we wanted more time to finish and was all of a sudden nonchalant towards us and was very rude. She flipped a switch but rather than create a scene for our son, we decided to not make the wasted time a big deal. The one thing she didn't tell us is that one teacher isn't with the child at all times. They say a few words to give direction and walk away. They rotate teachers as well. Our son told us he waited more time than any actual time learning anything. Bottom line: on the surface the place seems cool, maybe for a bday party, but for 1:1 time, not worth it. It feels like a child day care so you can shop while they paint. read more

I dropped my daughter off and asked my husband to pick her up. They didn't even ask for a proof (receipts or ticket) to pick up kids. Security is low. Chuck E. Cheese's can do better than that. The paint won't come off I wasted a down jacket and a pair of pants. read more

After playing at the indoor playground outside the store for a while, my son insisted that I take him into Young Art, maybe he saw the drawings of his fav cartoon PJ Masks hanging on the wall. Went inside, the Asian lady was very welcoming and showed us the different package we can do, since we don't live in the area, she even told us which location was the closest to me in case we want to do it again. We chose the 30min lesson for my son to draw catboy from PJM. Teacher Sophia was very patient with my son who doesn't have any whatsoever. Since it was not busy at all, she was able to guide my son with the drawing and coloring most of the whole time, but like other reviews pointed out, when busy, your child will be sharing the teachers. While waiting, the Asian lady came over to my wife and showed her the paint and other art supplies they use, demonstrated that they can be washed off easily and none toxic. Some review said the lady was trying to hard sell which I do agree in a way, she didn't push hard to sell lesson packages probably because we don't live near one of their locations. But again, since I was once worked in sales, I can totally understand why she is doing that. So give her a break. Overall a great and fun experience here! give it a try, although he lost interest half way.... I think it will be more fun for older kids like 4 and up (my son is only 3). It is a great place to train your kids to have patience. read more

Just a quick update as I am going back-and-forth with my credit card company. This business has lied to my credit card company and is that I was a no-show which is an absolute lie. I had canceled my reservation five days in advance. Just really shocked that a business would outright lie like that. Still trying to get my money back. read more

Kids had a really bad experience here. You don't get what you pay for and your children will be left very disappointed. Owner did not care in the least. read more

Ive enjoyed taking my kids here for the past few years, and more importantly they have loved it as well. This past weekend they wanted to go to the 'paint store' so we pop in for a 30 min session. I always enjoy working with my kids on their projects, however this time they let me know they want to make a surprise for me so i should wait outside. 8 minutes go by before they even have a piece of paper in front of them. another 4 minutes go by before a teacher stops by to let them know to write their name on the paper. they are now 12 minutes in and as of yet no-one has begun the 'session' in my eyes, but im not worried, im sure they'll be mindful that they are busy and didnt have time to start on time with my kids. after 17 minutes i see the lack of attention they are getting isnt going to change so i take up a seat with them and start helping them with the limited colors that they have been given to work with. Every now and then an employee would stop by and tell them to draw a line here or there, and then go wander of to deal with the other abandoned kids waiting for help. 25 minutes elapse and both kids are halfway through their work and an employee comes by and says "would you like to pay to extend your session?" No, no i dont want to pay for you to leave my kids sit here by themselves when they came here for a 'lesson'. Its a lot cheaper and more enjoyable for us to color at home. Oh, they are also offering a limited time sale with some discounts and other stuff, they were really pushing that like i'd be interested. i didnt pay attention, they had already lost my business when the employees choose to ignore the clock when its our time, but be Johnny on the spot when its their time. this should be a 1 star review, but maybe i just got them on a bad day. All our previous experiences have ben more enjoyable, but ive been sitting there for those other sessions so who knows. read more

My daughter loves coming to this place. We try and take her a couple times a month since she loves to take home what she created. Its always clean and the instructors go at her pace, she has tried other art places but prefers this one. read more

Such a great place. The owner and all the teachers are so great. The place is clean and I love that they have seasonal new art projects available for the kids. At first I thought, who would drop off their kid for 30 min just to shop alone? Uh that who is me 100%. I get 30 min of peace, and my girls come back with art pieces they are so proud of. It's a solid go to option especially if you frequent Valley Fair. read more

This place is good overall except they are giving your kid a chocolate and candy every time and before their dinner time. I sincerely think they should at least ask the parents or caregiver before handing the kids candies and chocolates. read more

I would come here every once in a while with my son. The first time I came which was pre-covid I ended up purchasing one of their packages which consisted of an amount of hours. I would come here and there using the hours. You are allowed to (but I never do) leave your kids to do a project while you shop. Which can be beneficial for some parents. I have never had a problem here, the employees that help with the drawings have always been so kind and patient! I moved out of state this past year and where I live they don't have a "Young Art" but I ended up visiting so of course I stopped by the location, I made an appointment slot for my son. It was going well until the lady (the main person I think Jenny?) told me that if I the parent would like to stay I would have to pay. Not a huge deal it was myself, son, his dad. So we decided we would pay for the second person so one of us can stay, and his dad and I would switch off because we don't leave him alone. Well I was just pondering outside the store basically because I love taking pictures and stuff it's always been our thing.. let me cut to the chase.. **My son kept getting switched painters that helped him so it was frustrating. A family comes in 2 kids three adults and they ALL stayed. I doubt the rules stood for them. Nobody else was painting except the children. HOW ANNOYING. I was basically kicked out or forced to pay to stay with my son! Then a couple walks in with their one child and apparently they were visiting from another country, the main lady again takes our painter helper and tells them they have a special guest all the way from where ever and he must go and help them. They paid for one hour we had 2 but times 2 that's 4 hours paid for since we had to, if one of us wanted to stay. THEN she's rushing me and tells my son to paint this way, when the other helper comes back to our table he said it wasn't the right way for the fading effect I said well she said for it be that way and he made a face rolling eye because she shouldn't have because it was sh1t, clearly we were not a priority. Like I mentioned the employee paint teachers are always awesome. But the manager pissed me off. Discrimination basically. read more
