“Took my 6yo grandson here on a rainy Saturday and had the BEST time! We made slime and experienced the splatter room. They have a sensory room, glow in the dark room, bounce room and an enclosed toddler area. They have ceramic objects to paint and other crafts as well.Reasonably priced! Owner and employees were delightful! Can’t say enough good things about this place”

“We rented the Art Bar for my son's Birthday. The staff who greeted us was amazing and the space is perfect for the little ones to be as loud as they want. There is plenty of parking and not a lot of foot traffic in the area. This allows for a more intimate feeling. We started the day off at the indoor pool and the drive to the Art Bar was only 8 minutes. Although we did not do a craft you can request additional services. We just needed a space larger enough to entertain guest for cake and Pizza. My son loves the vibe of the Art Bar! The Art on the wall, loft feeling, and lighting is a great touch.”
