  • 5/5 from Rebecca Handler, attended Oct 2026: We booked this for my daughter’s 11th birthday, and it was perfect! The instructors were kind, patient, fun, and incredibly organized. They made designs that my daughter and her friends really loved. And, they cleaned everything up and left the room better than they found it. ;)
