I visited on a weekday with my little one. While I love the concept of combining an open art space…read morewith an indoor playground, I found the $29 admission price to be quite high for what was offered. One thing to keep in mind is that many of the art projects require an additional fee, so the admission price doesn't cover all activities. While there were plenty of toys and play areas, many of them appeared heavily used and showed noticeable wear and tear. The location was another drawback for us. Being in Blackhawk Plaza, which currently has a lot of vacant storefronts, the area felt rather quiet and lacking energy. It's also quite a distance from the freeway, making it less convenient to visit, especially for families traveling from outside the immediate area. Overall, I genuinely love the concept and appreciate what they're trying to create. However, between the high admission cost, additional activity fees, maintenance concerns, and inconvenient location, I don't think we'll be returning. I wish them the best and hope they continue improving, as the idea itself has a lot of potential.

Gosh, I really hate to only give 3 stars but I really want to be honest about what you get when…read moreconsidering Hawaii Fluid Art for your child's birthday party. 1. $350 for 10 kids. $30 for each additional child - I was totally ok with this price but after booking, I found out that's for 1 hour. Who throws a birthday party for only one hour? If you want an additional hour it's an extra $150. Felt like a bait and switch -- I went back on the website to see if there was a disclaimer about parties being only 1 hour -- there is, but it's very discreet. It should definitely be more clear so there aren't any surprises. 2. The art project takes quite literally 5 minutes (no wonder only one hour is included...). While I'm sure the art is going to be beautiful, I would go as far as saying this was boring for a crew of 7 year old girls. After all of the instructions were given it was truly.. 5 minutes of fun... I quote the birthday girl.., "mom, we poured paint in a cup and then poured it in paper. That's it." I really wish there was something else to make the party a bit more fun and engaging. Play a game? Sing? Literally anything to extend the fun. The art itself is simply not enough to justify having a party there.

I can't quite remember how I stumbled upon finding this company but I absolutely loved the options, the structure and with it being a newer company as this is its first Yelp review (check out their awesome Google reviews)-- I was open to giving it a shot blindly and I was NOT disappointed. In fact, I had a lot of great feedback from the guests that this was one of the funnest birthday parties they've been to! There's a selection of activities. The celebrant opted for t-shirt making, vinyl stickers, and clay making. Upon entrance, the team already had table cloths, simple balloons, and birthday decors. They also had cups, utensils, and plates readily available. Check in was smooth - I encourage guests who choose to celebrate here to make sure to write on your invitation to come on time since we waited for majority of the party to come to begin. (They were gracious with family and friends being on Filipino time!) The team was phenomenal and hands on. They knew how to guide really rowdy kids into structure and they didn't skip a beat. They took time to individually teach and check in on each child. After shirts, we made our way upstairs for making stickers and the kids had such a blast. They came back down for their clay projects and finished the day with food. The party was 2 hours and I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. It flew by fast and the crew was quick with clean up as well. We definitely will be returning! They do have summer camps and if we lived closer, we would definitely be coming more often. Loved their staff-- incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and such a pleasure to work with. Please consider them for future parties! You won't regret it!

There is a spacious party area to enjoy food and cake. You can bring your own food and decor or go through the venue for quick and easy planning. The staff helping during the party were all great and helpful to all of our guests. Would definitely recommend Create It for a new and fun party venue.

We visited on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded, which was nice because the kids had plenty of room to play. They also have party rooms available, and the rooms are a good size for birthday celebrations and group events. My only suggestion is that the food court service could be more attentive. It often seemed like no one was at the counter when assistance was needed. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd recommend it for families with young children.

The children had a blast. The kid golf clubs were filthy. I did make a comment to the young staff, it seemed as if they're not cleaned often. There are three bathroom stalls, not enough to accommodate the plethora of children coming. Plus, there was no soap and the second time I escorted the girls to the bathroom there were no paper towels. Are there bathroom checked to replenish these items? The play area was a hot mess two female staff was sitting and talking, later I did see them picking up balls from the ball pit. But no supervision or enforcing rules with the children. Overall the children enjoyed themselves but the lack of staff supervision, dirty equipment, and no soap and paper towels in the female bathroom, I wouldn't recommend.
