2/5 Mona 1 year ago on Google
I
had
never
been
here
before,
which
I
advised
the
*many*
young
ladies
standing
at
the
cash
area
as
we
entered.
I
naturally
expected
a
detailed
explanation
of
the
process,
and
(perhaps
naively,
or
misled
due
to
all
the
mentions
of
tipping
on
their
website
which
I
read
ahead
of
time
to
make
my
reservation),
even
hoped
for
a
bit
of
a
one-on-one
walk-through.
Instead
we
got
walked
to
our
table,
the
young
lady
pointed
to
the
back
where
we
could
choose
our
piece,
saying
nothing
about
the
prices
or
options
or
suggestions
for
young
kids
other
than
to
say
there
were
animals
*on
that
side*.
She
just
as
unenthusiastically
pointed
to
the
area
where
we
“could
get
our
brushes
and
paint”.
And
she
was
gone.
I
tried
to
get
some
sense
of
what
to
do
next
by
peeking
at
the
other
tables,
many
of
them
filled
with
busy
people
who
seemed
100%
at
ease
and
comfortable
with
everything.
And
yes,
obviously
this
is
not
rocket
science
but
a
decent
intro
to
first-timers
is
definitely
lacking.
We
observed
habitués
walking
back
from
the
paint
and
brushes
area
with
multiple
canisters
FILLED
with
brushes,
while
we
newbies
only
took
4
of
them,
rinsing
them
stupidly
(and
unsuccessfully
but
we
didn’t
know
better)
in
between
changing
paint
colors.
The
2
pieces
our
grandkids
took
were
$29
EACH!!
These,
plus
the
hour
and
a
half
we
spent
there,
cost
us
$83,
including
2
tiny
packs
of
gummies
they
sold
us
for
$1.49
each.
The
experience
was
way,
way
too
expensive.
And
frustrating.
Word
of
caution
I
wish
I
would
have
had
prior
to
booking,
perhaps
it
should
be
written
on
their
website:
NOT
for
children
under
8
years
old,
I
would
say.
It
takes
patience
and
interest
in
reading
the
instructions
at
the
table.
In
fact
teens
and
adults
seemed
to
be
most
at
ease
with
this
activity,
which
when
you
know
the
how’s
and
what’s,
I
am
sure
can
be
a
pleasant
time.
But
don’t
count
on
any
of
the
5
or
6
staff
standing
huddled
together
at
the
cash
to
lend
you
a
hand,
except
to
receive
a
tip
as
you
pay
and
leave.
Tip
for
what
I
still
don’t
comprehend.
