Man, this place is freaking fun!!…read more We had a private event. About 10 people. It was from 5p to 7p. Had some time to eat a meal also (ordered food) and had it catered. We drew dandelions. Our instructor was great! Downfall - parking isn't all that easy. You park on the street and have to pay a few bucks as it's metered parking. After 6p it's free parking I believe. Anyway, downtown LB is a fun place. This place just makes it SERIOUSLY that much better! Super fun to go with a good group of people! Also, if you're coming in the summer, when you arrive, sit towards the far left. The right side will be tough as the sun will burn you like there's no tomorrow

JoAnna and TA are super helpful and professional, and our school has used them several times. The kids really enjoyed our most recent event. They came with their own supplies and even played background music. As a mom who also has a job and volunteers for the PTA, I found this company to be very easy to work with and their response time was incredible. I would definitely book an event with them again in the future! They also do slime-making events that would be great for a fun STEAM night as well!!

They are able to manage a large group of kids in a very organized manner and are excellent and patient teachers. Each and every time that I pick them up I'm shocked by how much they were able to make in the two and a half hours that they were there. They are currently in the Italian week camp and have made homemade pizzas, pastas and sauces from scratch, flatbreads, salads, sorbet, cookies, etc. My kids are 9 (twins), but we also brought friends this summer. One is in his last year of middle school and enjoyed the class just as much as the younger kids. Truly, such a wonderful experience for them! Thank you so much, Chef Tech!

I've never baked a single thing in my life, but by the end of Teri's walk-through (and with lots of friendly guidance), I had a beautiful 4 tier cake to leave with. My husband was absolutely flabbergasted that I'd baked and I was shocked that it was actually delicious. He's eaten a piece daily since and can't stop talking about how good it is-meanwhile I can't stop talking about how much fun I actually had with Teri. She shared the recipe so I can make it going forward and I think I can actually pull it off thanks to the education I got at Chef Tech!

The first time I went we were the only ones there for a while and the owner, Robin was very kind and attentive to us and make us feel very comfortable without being overbearing. It was really great to experience the art time with my daughter in this space. We had done a succulent pot craft. My daughter loved painting her pot, and then adding embellishments from their craft area. They have so many cool art project nights. We definitely plan to keep coming.

The space was safe and welcoming, even for our special needs son! The musical instruments were a beautiful touch! We completed 3 projects and Greg helped EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON in our group! We all felt included and left with a lot of pride and our creative juices flowing. It's in a safe corner location in Bixby with a little area out front to get air or hang out in between projects. This came in very handy for our kiddos to run out some energy. The prices are reasonable and I had a lot more fun here as compared to those wine and paint nights. I mean, don't get me wrong, those are fun too but it doesn't allow for a ton of creativity. So if you're itching to create or explore art for the first time, this is the studio for ya! I would highly recommend this place to anyone (all ages and abilities) for private events, birthday parties, take a class, or just pop in and explore! You won't regret it!

Our kids always come home excited to share what they learned and created, and you know it's a great place when they keep asking to go back!

Highly recommend for parents looking for a fun, creative, and welcoming environment for their kids.

My son is 6 years old and has been attending since he was 5, and the impact has been incredible. He now LOVES art and even says he wants to become an artist when he grows up all thanks to Mrs. Shab. She has created such a safe, encouraging, and inspiring environment where kids feel supported and confident to express themselves creatively. Each week, he's introduced to different artists, techniques, and mediums, and I'm always blown away by what he creates. He has learned so much, and the quality of the artwork is amazing. I literally keep every single piece, and I've even framed one because it was that good! If you're looking for the best kids art classes, creative camps, or an art studio in Rossmoor or Los Alamitos, I cannot recommend Colorz Kidz enough. We've signed him up for every camp and will continue weekly classes because it's been such a positive experience. So grateful we found Colorz Kidz.

They laughed and listened and learned and we were all so happy that we had him come out. All of the students keep asking when we will have him come back (and the teachers loved it too). Sometimes it is difficult to know based on online reviews if something is as good as people are saying it is. Trust me-- John is the real deal. His positivity and entertaining spirit were such a gift to our elementary kids. From Pre-K to 5th grade, all of the different ages really enjoyed it. We are excited to have him back next year with one of his other assemblies.

Those old reviews about not answering the phone, true…read more I have already paid my membership, so I am reviewing the provided service thus far. The advertising on Groupon stated this weekend was a great time to visit Oodles. The website is a mess, if that has been changed, maybe the owner has seen the light. I called, I get a voicemail suggesting I e-mail or text for faster response. People have phone anxiety, no grudges there though I would have preferred to speak to a person. I text asking when we can use our groupon, wondering if we need to book in advance for classes or if they're just on a running basis or something. NO AVAILABILITY UNTIL OCTOBER note: there is nearly a week left in July, we bought the groupon last week I respond to the owner that I feel a bit misled because the Groupon title said "Unlimited classes" but the fine print says "capped at 8 classes" like.... just say 8 classes, don't call that unlimited. But, I am especially upset that we cannot use the tickets at all until October and that there is no indicator of that until you spend time trying to call. (note, it took over an hour to answer the texts during work hours) The response I received is, "You may initiate refund with Groupon. We never advertised this ad with Groupon and already have a ticket open with Groupon as they opened up Unauthorized ad without asking our permission. They have discontinued the ads as of last week." I apologize for my contractors' mistakes, but I don't make the customer work to remedy the mistake; it's poor leadership, bad customer service, and makes me very nervous about what experience my children will have in an environment that is supposed to be safe. It is difficult to find good children's places, so we'll be keeping the groupon and maybe we'll see what it is like and adjust the rating and response if it unsullies the experience thus far.
