    This is SUCH a fun outing for friends, couples, families, or even as a solo activity. It felt so nice to be creative and check out from reality for a bit. We definitely plan on returning regularly.

    I love this place , I actually find it very relaxing , you don’t have to be Picasso to enjoy painting your ceramic . Highly recommend this place love the fact you can take your piece home to finish and bring it back to them to throw in the kiln. Definitely going to take my granddaughters for Christmas.

    So much fun! Such a fun experience highly recommend. I will say I don’t love that that you have to wait to get paints, ideally there would be numerous small bottles and you can grab and dip directly into them so no one has to stand around waiting. But overall it was really really enjoyable.

    Nice way to occupy my 5 yr old for an hour and a half! Good selection. Friendly welcoming staff. Prices were a little steep but I have nothing to compare that too

    Had our son's birthday party there and kids loved it! They had a separate room at the back that was just for us! Very welcoming, helpful and patient with the kiddos!

    The whole experience at CrockaDoodle was fantastic. I brought my 4 kids in on a PA Day ages 9 5 4 and 2 the girl helping us that day was beyond helpful. I am so sorry I forgot her name. We were there January 17,2020 at 10am. She was helpful with all my kids when my 2 year old was pretty over the painting situation she jumped right in to help my other 3 kids with questions and if they needed some assistance with doing smaller details. The whole morning went so smooth and so great. We were informed about the birthday promo that is given and we signed all the kids up which is such a lovely idea and so special. Seriously cannot wait to come back and we had the best time the kids have not stopped telling everyone about it. Thank you Crockadoodle you made 4 kids so happy!

    Absolutely incredible experience & so fun! The staff were very accommodating and super friendly. Had a wonderful time honing my creativity and having a blast with paint. Will definitely be back again soon!

  • 4/5 Lauryn V. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    it was fun and the employee was very patient and kind who helped us, she was great! they have a ton of options of what to paint and fair amount of paint colour options. only complaint is that my reservation said until 8:15 but then at 7:55 we were told we had to finish up as they close at 8. i would recommend not having your reservation go longer than your open time because then i was in a big rush and actually didn’t get to finish my pottery!

    Been here twice. Relaxing atmosphere. Kid friendly, had little aprons and everything! The girl working was very friendly. Lots of different options to paint. Will be back!

    We booked a spot for Mother's Day. Was expecting them to have a specific table of items aside for kids to choose something for their mother's. There were 2 staff members there, I didn't see a single smile on their faces the entire 1.5 hour we were there. They weren't very friendly or interactive. I was expecting them to be more involved with the kids, and 'people persons'. They seemed irritated to be there. Almost as if we were an inconvenience. My little guy got his fingers caught in their chairs, as there's holes - not toddler friendly. The staff members were fully aware as they stood at the back of the room staring at my son crying. Neither of them walked over to ask if he was okay, or even to offer a cold cloth or anything. We will not return to this location.

    Amazing birthday party for my 11 year old . Everyone had so much fun . Didn’t feel rushed and our host was so friendly .

  • 4/5 Emily G. 11 months ago on Google
    Our team had a great experience - many of them said they planned to return with friends and family. Thanks so much to our host who took excellent care of us.

    Had such an amazing time here. I will absolutely be back! Such a great experience and such a calm beautiful place. Loved it! 10/10

  • 5/5 One Blonde C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great experience for anyone who lives in the Niagara region or will be visiting for a few days. You get helpful staff, your choice of piece which means you can stick to your own budget, and about 1.5 hours to get crafty! We love going here.

    I brought our girl guide unit to paint some bowls and they had a great time. They all got to express themselves freely thorugh their painting and the employee helping us was so friendly and wonderful with our large group. We would definitely return.

  • 5/5 Meagan B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. I had so much fun picking and painting my piece and I have a keepsake I can treasure forever! Can’t recommend this place enough! If you want a fun, chill thing to do with your friends/significant other/family this makes for a great time!

  • 5/5 Manpreet K. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are stressed and you need a place to calm your mind, then this is the go-to-place. I loved how I can use my imagination to create something and then use it as a decorative piece.

  • 5/5 Cassie O. 3 years ago on Google
    Myself and my two boys, ages 5 & 7, had a wonderful time there this afternoon. The owner was very kind and helpful.

  • 5/5 April R. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is absolutely amazing. My daughter immensely enjoyed several visits during the holidays and we even took a few DIY kits home with us. Thank you for providing a clean, professional and friendly environment.

  • 5/5 LADY V. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place, it's so much fun. You can paint with family or friends. We have been there several times and still can't wait to go back again.

    It is fun. My 4year and 6year old daughers loved it

  • 5/5 Mehenika A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had gone there with a group of 20 girls for a fun event! The place is so nice and colorful! I just enjoyed my time over there painting on the plate. The stuff was also very helpful.

  • 5/5 Sydney R. 1 year ago on Google
    lovely staff who provide excellent service, very fair prices, and a clean and welcoming studio! i love how you can take your pieces home to work on and the wide selection of pottery

  • 1/5 S S. 1 year ago on Google
    Out of all Crock a Doodle locations I’ve been to, I would say this location is the worst. If you’re able to, go to a different spot. The owner was very rude to my group and belittling. Made it seem like we were an inconvenience to her and not welcome. Very disheartening considering how expensive the pieces are.

  • 3/5 Laura R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fun time, it was clean and people are friendly. Unfortunately it was a one time thing for us as we found it to be expensive $$$ for the experience.

  • 5/5 Jessica L. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly and helpful owner. Love to spend our time creating masterpieces!

  • 5/5 Mít Tơ G. 1 year ago on Google
    We actually crock a doodle at Blue Mountain location. Just bring our thing to do temperament but the atmosphere is the same. Lots of cute statues. Definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 laura m. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, prompt return times of art. Plenty of selections. Very clean. On the pricey side if you have several kids to make it a regular activity. There are smaller, lower priced objects.. but for someone coming from out of town, we want to make it worth our time. Staff are very friendly, and kids are welcomed.

  • 1/5 Teresa J. 2 years ago on Google
    I am extremely disgusted that this place has chosen to put profit over public safety by remaining open during a government mandated lockdown and allow painting in the studio when all the other businesses that provide entertainment has followed the guidelines set out for them to ensure public safety!! And the fact that they also do not require vaccines further leads to the spread of this virus and with irresponsible actions like this we will never be out of this situation!

    Had the best painting date! Spent a couple hours working on some festive pieces- highly recommend for an afternoon

  • 5/5 TBRADINC 1 year ago on Google
    I have never done anything like this before. I am not much of an artist or painter but i had so much fun. The owner was extremely kind, supportice and even took the time to clean off tge imperfections from having shaky hands. If you are looking for a cute date idea with your S/O or a group of friends. This is a great idea and a great spot

🫤 I’m assuming they’re under new management since becoming Aerosports but our experience for the first time back since it’s changed was less than ideal. First of all they increased the prices by $2 making a 1 hour jump for a 2 year old almost $14. They also now charge for the parent accompanying the c...
