They brought music and items for games and helped us to have a really great time! It is EXHAUSTING running around in those balls. I took away a star because the balls kept losing air and needed to be refilled after games. The guys said they get new balls annually, so some of them were showing age I guess. We had a really good time, and it was a fun and different activity! Definitely worthwhile checking out with these guys!

We try to support vendors for our team events, but our experience with "Paint the Town" was chaotic…read morefrom start to finish. We booked a premium, full-service package for a team-building afternoon, but instead of relaxing, my team spent the entire time stressing, moving boxes, and cleaning up after the staff we hired. We aren't trying to be difficult clients; we simply wanted the service we paid for. Instead, we faced a massive burden: The setup was chaotic and late: For a group our size, the policy is a 40-80 minute setup window. The facilitator didn't show up until 1:33 PM for a 2:00 PM start. Her assistant didn't arrive until after the event started. We were left watching the clock, wondering if our event was even going to happen. We had to manage their logistics: The assistant arrived late and without ID. Since we are in a secure office building, she couldn't get in. Instead of the vendor handling this, my team had to stop what they were doing, leave the event space, and go down to the lobby to retrieve her and haul up the supplies she was carrying. Dismissive attitude: Mistakes happen, but the facilitator's attitude made it worse. She was dismissive about being late and shockingly unhelpful regarding her own assistant's supplies. At one point, when asked about the materials her assistant brought, she refused to help, telling us she "couldn't hang onto that." It felt like we were imposing on her, rather than the other way around. My team did the physical labor: Because they were so behind, the setup wasn't done until 2:30 PM--30 minutes into our paid time. To save the event, my colleagues and I had to step in and physically unpack boxes, set up stations, and distribute materials. We paid for a full-service event but ended up doing the heavy lifting ourselves. Contract issues: We paid extra for the "all new supplies" option so our team could keep their materials. Despite this, the facilitator packed up and took many of the paints and brushes back with her. They walked out on the mess: Despite the event starting late due to their tardiness, the facilitator refused to stay a minute past 4:00 PM. She started aggressively cleaning up while people were still painting, then bolted out the door right at 4:00, leaving us to finish the cleanup and break down the boxes. I cannot recommend this vendor. We paid for a fun, stress-free afternoon and instead received a chaotic experience where we had to work as the setup and cleanup crew.

My experience here was not the best, but it was OK. My children came here for a fun experience, but…read morewe were greeted instead with disorganization and not very concerned staff. The service here was horrible, my children weren't given clear instructions and they said "they don't even know how to make slime" the slime they made was dry, stale, and overall horrible. if you come here with your kids please note that their "crunchy" textured slime is going to be difficult to play with. My kids don't like the slime they made and the prices here are crazy! The location is in Glendale, which is a very nice area. If you are in Glendale I recommend going to the five below instead, the slime there is $5 and gives you a better experience because the slime isn't dry and hard to play with like at Bee's. The staff were pretty bad. We walked in there was not even greeted properly, one lady with blond hair was rude and ignored my daughter who wanted her slime to be stretchy and the lady just ignored her! Who does that?? I didn't get a chance to ask her name but the employee with black hair was the nicest one there. She helped my kids out but we left with pretty bad slime and not a good experience.

My daughter recently visited Bee's Arts & Crafts on a school field trip and was excited to spend…read morethe $10 I gave her. She purchased a green butter slime for $3, an orange butter slime for $2, and an ice cube squishy for $5. The ice cube squishy was definitely her favorite purchase. She has been playing with it nonstop and absolutely loves it. Unfortunately, the homemade butter slime was very disappointing. Within just one day, both slimes dried out significantly and barely stretch anymore. My daughter was especially upset because she spent half of her money on the slime and expected it to last longer than a single day. As a parent, it's frustrating to see a child so excited about a purchase only to have it become unusable almost immediately. While we were very happy with the squishy, I hope the quality of the homemade slime can be improved so future customers get better value for their money.

I would never recommend Young Chefs Academy for children with special needs!!!…read moreBecause I work with special needs kids and I took one of my clients to Young Chefs Academy and she was bullied by another student more then once in class She had been going to this school for two years and when I tried to talk to Jason about having a sit down conversation with the other child and her parents he informed me that I couldn't have a conversation with the parents and that I had to deal with the matter outside on the street and not on his premises Then my special needs client was kicked out of Young Chefs Academy Because I complained about the bullying!

You can join membership, I think around $140 a month to get 30 % off each class and get advance reservations. Non member pays $50 each 90 min class. Register and reserve online or call the place to reserve. I found Groupon $90 for two classes for one child, limitation includes you can't reserve more than 2 weeks in advance. Called to the place and Jason returned my call. Reserved over the phone no problem. Queens Blvd is very difficult to park. Luckily there's a bus stop in front of the store and I did a quick drop off. Jason specified it is a drop off class, so parents can't observe. I was allowed to go down where the class was during the last 10 min. Instructor chef Nicole was very friendly and told me how my kids do. They made dumplings, blanch veggies, noodles and biscuits. Kids were divided into small groups to cook different recipes. At the end there's the tasting where I joined. They will also give you the recipes to take home. Kids have tons of fun and would very much come back again. Overall, definitely recommend. NY only has one young chef so far. They are opening another one at Garden City but don't know when. It said coming soon on website.
