Hear ye, hear ye! Ye Olde Alpaca Shoppe is a funne activity as an adulte or kid!…read more Who wouldn't want to pet soft fuzzy alpacas? I sent a text as requested from their website to make an appointment for a tour and while it took a few days to respond back to me, we were able to book on a convenient day for us. In addition to the alpacas, there are rabbits, pot bellied pigs, horses, ducks, cows, and goats just to name a few of the farm folk that live here. The two young assistants that gave us the tour were very experienced and mature beyond their years. They had a lot of knowledge about each animal. If you wish to browse at the gift store, there's a lot of alpaca wool clothing, accessories, and stuffies for sale. They also sell their wares at local farmer's markets so check them out if you are interested in alpaca wool items. The cost of admission is very reasonable at $10 per person. If you are a fan of petting zoos and alpacas this is your place!

The staff were friendly,…read morewith the one main room employee going out of his way to attend to my partner's birthday party with such kind, excellent service. The lady at the kiln was so cheerful and sweet, too. Admittedly the prices feel steep, but honestly, the service and quality are so good, with a huge selection of under $20 options, that it kind of balances itself out. I booked the party space a week in advance for $25 and they provided all the tableware, lighters, and knives for cutting the birthday cake, so no worries if you forgot anything! All of the paints are lined up on several shelves opposite the register. There were easily 30+ paint options with textures/speckles, matte, and two-tone. For adults, I found it hilarious that they have 420-friendly selections and some funny pieces to paint. Stop by if you're curious about an art-fueled adventure.

The Cat House is a unique, fun experience to hang out and chill with some adoptable cats…read more If you or someone you're with likes cats - you'll enjoy the Cat House in Roselle. They have a ton of cats walking around and hanging out (including kittens) and you're able to play with them, buy drinks or snacks while you're there or cat merchandise that helps support the house getting cats adopted. I participated in a cat bingo night where you can get cat themed prize bags which was pretty fun. I'd recommend a visit for a unique experience and if you like cats.

The space was quiet and relaxing, and we enjoyed it. For me personally, I'd have a hard time enjoying it as much with little kids running about, but since we didn't have said little kids (or any kids) we decompressed, played, and just enjoyed the experience very much. What a great concept and well executed.

The teacher was about 13 people away to the side - I couldn't see what she was doing as the other painters blocked my view (and I blocked the view of the painters sitting downstream from me) . They need to have the teacher in front or at least have them on a pedestal- maybe have tvs around the room where you can follow what they are doing. They went too fast and it was a panicked blur at times. It was loud - not as enjoyable as I had hoped. I have been to other parties priced the same with the teacher in front of you and about 1/4 as many student painters. Much chiller and a more relaxing vibe. Not sure if I will go here again.

If that's your objective, this specialty candy shop is a worthwhile destination all on its own. Same with regional sodas. If you'd like to try some soda or candy you've never had or even heard of, this is also worth being its own destination. On the other hand if you're in historic downtown Woodstock for any other reason, stop in here on your way around the center of town. If the town square looks familiar, you might be having a Groundhog Day moment, and then you might need some chocolate for that déjà vu moment. If you're getting your Bill Murray movies mixed up, you might need a Baby Ruth bar for a pool prank, this you also can find here. If you're diabetic, some of the best diet sodas I've ever had are here, they occupy one corner amidst a dizzying array of high sugar content soda pop that you shouldn't have.

Clearly at one point it was a record shop (the name gives it away of nothing else), and there's still a case of them in the middle of the room, but it's been subsumed by the mass quantities of toys and memerobilia that are crammed into this small storefront! Got a cartoon, sci fi film or other cult classic that you like? Chances are they have something from it. (I even saw a Danger Mouse figurine...does anyone aside from me remember that show?!) Edge your way through the quagmire of collectibles and take your time looking! The only thing I didn't find that I was seeking? Micro Machines! (Not the Star Wars etc. ones; just the old school mini cars. They did have lots of Hot Wheels though.) This place was pretty crowded on a week-end (read: 5 or 6 customers at once, which given the space was practically overflowing). Worth a stop if you are nearby, or a trip if you are a big collector!
