We had parked in the garage next door and were planning to walk around downtown Frederick to pass…read moresome time. On the outside of the garage is a map of all the businesses in the downtown area. I was looking at it, and someone walked by and said, "You can get that free map in the arts center ", and then shared they were an employee there. So off we went to the arts center (just 5 steps from the garage). Did we ever make it to our original destination, no, but we certainly had a fun time exploring the arts center and would definitely go back again. There is so much to do and see - all 3 levels (I excluded the basement as we never made it down there (pressed for time). When in the area, please make it a point to visit this spot. You will not be disappointed.

I noticed that not all of the pottery had artist information available, so I asked the person working at the cash register. He immediately knew the artist after looking at the piece. The prices were really great too. Some people might find the pottery expensive, but the amount of work and dedication it takes to make these things is substantial. I also really love this place because they are connected to a pottery studio (Frederick Clay Studio) that offers classes and internships.

They teach technical skills through hand-building, wheel courses, and glaze application, and this store showcases some of the local artists' clay pieces to the public. They also have other little gifts, such as colorful candles, local handmade soap, and light switch plaques. Cute little place to check out when you're roaming around the downtown Frederick area.

Possibly good for 4 and under but we had been members for the last 4 years and as of right now are strongly considering not renewing. Some creative thinking and hard volunteer work could definitely improve the current space but it's not even 1/3 of what the old space was. **If the new space ups their game and adds value and better exhibits/ play spaces, I will remove or edit this review but I have ALOT of friends that have had the same lacking experiance and will also not renew the membership.

Unfortunately, we found the visit quite underwhelming. The space itself is very basic, with limited exhibits and minimal interactivity. Much of what was on display felt dated and sparse, and it did not hold our attention for long. For a destination marketed as a hands-on discovery center, we expected a more immersive and thoughtfully curated experience. While this may be suitable for a very brief stop or for locals looking for something close by, it did not feel worth the drive for us as visitors. Overall, the experience did not align with the expectations set by the website, and we left feeling disappointed.

First off, let me say about how neat it would be to live and work in this neck of the woods & the grounds are super appealing with all its unique decor. Veronica runs the show here and has such a premier craft workshop. If you enjoy crafting and dream of a craft room in your house, then you visit Frog Valley...you will go home to ask your significant other for a craft house like Veronica. It was easy to set up a time for a 2 hour class, pretty easy to make a day trip to Berkeley Springs from an hour away. We got food before & after and the class was full with 3 people and an assistant. I was nervous for one particular part of my design but a.) it's easy if you don't over think and b.) everyone helps to make it come together. Everyone was so nice, down to earth and it was a pretty chill zone. The temp was comfortable and music was on and afterward there is a chance to shop. Highly recommend and will come back. I wish WISHHHHH we had anything remotely close to this in Cumberland.
