I took my first pottery class though St Louis Community College continuing education program. The…read moreclass was taught at South Broadway Art Project. My teacher Sarah was so encouraging and knowledgeable. I learned the basics of throwing on the wheel, hand building and glazing. The class was so much fun I sighed up for a 3 month membership. Such a wonderful space to come and create. Everything you need with any questions answered by knowledgeable staff.

Ok, circling back with an update in reference to my prior review. The director did end up circling…read moreback with me and offered some very generous options as solutions which was incredibly kind of her. We took a pottery wheel demo course today which seems like is a great intro or refresher if you're a total novice or just starting your wheel work. I think this or the Clay Date Night experience would be great options depending on what you're looking for. During today's class there were other people doing independent work and they would intermittently offer a suggestion or two to the participants in the demo class which created a welcoming, communal environment. You will need to wedge your own clay in the demo course so if you want to just show up and have everything ready for you, maybe go with the date night option. If you want to learn a little bit more about the craft in general, this is a great option.

This is kind of a curious place, where basically you can bring your kid to come and do arts and…read morecrafts without having to buy your own supplies or sent them to school or some expensive this place is actually affiliated with the St. Louis Teachers' Recycle Center, which you can also look up on yelp. basically that service sells cheap classroom supplies to teachers, while play your art out is kind of like an interactive art studio (mainly targeted at kids) where you can use the supplies they have on hand to do art i think it would be a nice place to bring your young child if they have an interest in art

Interesting place. Came on a work team building trip otherwise I would never personally pay for…read morethis experience myself. They had a streamline set up and it was fun getting to smell all the scents and pick out what we wanted. After you pick out the scents it's basically mixing and naming your candle. Not a lot of work and we ended a lot earlier than we thought we would. When I got the candle back it was in a gorgeous bag with nice wrapping paper and smelled amazing. It made my whole car smell good. I haven't burned it yet but I'm sure it'll burn nicely

Came here on a weekday afternoon to make candles. The space is quite large and well organized…read more Staff help you along the way and explain what to do. The process is pretty straight forward pick your container for your candle, pick your scents to mix, then sit down and make your candle. The hardest part is figuring out which type of scents will blend well and the staff weren't very helpful in figuring that out which was kind of a bummer. It was fun mixing scents and figuring out how much of each item to add in. I absolutely recommend doing over the amount of fragrance they tell you to so your candle emits enough fragrance (I saw reviews saying the candle didn't really smell so we made sure to put extra in ours). I made mine as a gift for my aunt and she absolutely loved it, she wanted me to give her another but I have no idea how much I mixed! Although this is more expensive than I expected overall this is a fun experience and a good activity to do. Please note if you want to take it home same day you have to have enough time for it to cool & solidify before you can take it. If you come around closing time you may not be able to take it home. I recommend doing this then going to visit the shops, grab some food, or play some games while you wait for your candle to be ready!

Another Saint Louis gem! This store really brings the magic of trains to life. As a kid I had a…read moreThomas the train set, with the same wooden tracks and trains sold in this store. It was a favorite toy of mine. This store has a large table in the center that is dream come true version of those toys, as well as smaller sets for the littler guys & gals. One year old is able to play at the smaller tables but the 2-5 year olds were having the most fun. There was nice seating for the parents, and the staff handled all of this well. I didn't know upon arriving there just how many families were already there having fun, but just by the parking lot I knew this was going to be good. Which there is a good amount of parking out back fyi. The store has an amazing selection for its size, it's not too cozy but not too large either. The pos system was up to date too, very well ran. The owners or curators (not sure what the situation is here) deserve a lot of respect and credit for their effort. One of those things that really makes a difference in a small (but appropriately sized) way. Thank you!

Middle area is comprised of party rooms for kids birthday parties and the back is a play place with some play-on-a-card style arcades. Place is pretty clean and the employees truly make the experience fun for the kids. Play place was clean and adventurous for the kids. Biggest drawbacks is it lacks a kitchen or catering and refuses outside food so you don't know how to proceed. Arcades are mainly claw machines, air hockey, an old Jurassic park, and shoot around basketball but the kids engage. Prices are moderate but definitely good if you're looking for a kids party. The build-a-bear selection is what you could find at any mall location but the kids enjoy it all the same. Not bad, but definitely needs some reimagined parts to really push the concept forward in a positive direction.

If I could give them more stars I would! A bad storm came in very fast and Tara the manager and Melissa were quick to react to everyone's concern while still tending to the party and other guest. They informed us of a storm shelter in their store and kept us updated. They made sure all the kiddos had something to do while having fun. They also let us know that starting in August every Thursday they are going to have a quiet hour in the morning. This is wonderful for our kiddos who get overstimulated by the noise of music and gaming machines. Five stars all the way. Thank you Tara and Melissa for making it such a great birthday for our granddaughter!
