Lots to see! Bring the kids! Seriously, bring the kids! Besides learning about and seeing the hatcheries, you and THE KIDS can fish their well stocked tanks.

The man working there was so friendly and informative. He was proud of their offerings and welcomed me coming in close to closing. I was just passing through and didn't want to keep them, but this is definitely a place worth checking out. The whole town is super cute and caters to local artists and this place is really a surprise when you find yourself just meandering through East Texas.

We were able to pump our own paint and choose the colors we wanted. I chose the dog because she looks like my dog and I followed the instructions and put my own little twist on it by referring to a photo of my dog. The woman in charge was very nice and helpful when needed. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them to others. Thank you!

Each day has a different painting that will be done, so you can choose a day with a painting you like! The experience is BYOB and you just bring yourself and everything else is supplied such as the canvas, brushes, and paint! There is a seating chart but they do place you next to your party to make the experience more enjoyable. There will be an instructor in each class that goes through each and every step to complete the painting. Although I'm not much of a painter, the instructor was very helpful in fixing anything I didn't like and answering any questions on steps I had missed. She made the experience very fun with her upbeat, funny personality. I also loved that she wasn't strict in what we were allowed to draw. We could add or omit any part of the painting we wanted! The only complaint I would have is that pricing. It is quite expensive ranging from $35-$45 usually.
