I	Ian And Laura on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had my 4 and 7 year olds birthday party here on the same day. We did the splatter party. The atmosphere, the transitions between activities, the friendly staff... it was all perfect. We were covered in paint, we were laughing, and we were having fun.
O	Olivia Dynerowicz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our instructor was Alex, and made our experience awesome! My friend and I went to a Friday night class to make the Yeti mug. It was was so much fun and such a creative environment. Alex was super helpful and made the class of us strangers feel more than welcome and got us all to have a great time. I am booking my next class right now!!
L	Lana Wheeler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ UPDATE: They have offered us a better pricing option. We appreciated their efforts for trying to accommodate us and our budget. We have always had a great time here with my class. We have attended multiple times. We looked forward to going again. But ever since our location transferred to new management/ownership(???), I regret that we will no longer be able to attend due to the huge increase in pricing. This service is no longer realistic for school classes to attend. It is a shame they need to charge these prices. Other art programs have a base starting price for up to 10 kids ranging from $150-200. 4 Cats want $300 plus $ for each extra child. By the time a class pays for all the extra kids plus the busing costs it will run them about $25-30 each to attend a basic 1-1.5 hour painting or clay session. On the website I can't book online for my location as it appears to be missing from the system. I am sure there is more to the story with the extreme price hike. But from other articles I have read about 4 Cats franchising and it's "Head Office" this is not the place I would be investing in.
C	Camelia Nunez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My son attended a few classes at the studio and loved it. He learned a lot and his teacher was great. Then COVID hit and we all went into lockdown. In the summer of 2020, they were offering camps and I signed him up for a week. We then decided not to send them to camp and when I contacted the studio they said that wasn't a problem, we would simply get a credit to our account, which we could use for any classes/camps in the future. That sounded great, since we liked the place and were planning to go back anyway. Fast forward to summer 2021, new manager, apparently new customer system and new email address (which they changed without letting anyone know) and there is no trace of our money. Apparently my child isn't even in their system. $300+ out and there is nothing they can do apparently because the current manager wasn't here when all of this happened and their new system doesn't show our record. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this is really beyond disapointing, especially from a place we really liked to begin with.
T	Tara Jung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went to a friend's birthday party here. It was amazing, the employees were so kind.
K	Karen Leiher on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My son loves going to his art classes at 4Cats. Great program and the instructors are very kind.
R	Rosa MD on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was my first time making a clay mug. I found it pretty challenging but the whole experience is rewarding. The instructor was a little bit too fast. The table is pretty short, kind of for kids size. The light at the front part of the studio is still not working properly (like other people reviews from couple months ago said.) I'd like to do another kind of workshops that they have, probably painting. I feel its a good activity to experience with your friends or family. Definitely recommend to go here.
S	Scarlett van Berkel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love the 4Cats franchise and was really happy to find that we had one here when we moved. Had our daughters birthday here and the staff were helpful and attentive. The kids had an absolute blast. I’ve found that 4Cats does a great job of balancing the fun of art with the art history component (which I think is important) - and I appreciate that they do it in a way that is accessible to kids. They also host a lot of fun workshops for the kids that they can do themselves or you can do as a family. Great spot
