★★★★★jen parsonsBecky is such a lovely person! Our family had a great time visiting with the goats and playing in the tree house. As we were heading back to the car a printed family photo and some eggs were waiting for us. Truely a magical experience!
★★★★★Grace SwartzendruberWe've had such lovely experiences at Becky's Mindful Kitchen over the years. From a couple's cooking class/wood fired pizza and gelato night, to a treehouse birthday party and then a cooking and art camp for our son, every interaction with Becky and her offerings has been kind, thoughtful, intentional and enjoyable. We're so grateful this business exists here locally and for all the ways that Becky generously gives back and contributes to the community.
★★★★★Eric HolzhueterAttended a jewelry making birthday party here and it was a lot of fun for all the kids. Activities were held outdoors as the weather was a perfect fall day and there was plenty for the kids to do. Zip lines, swings oversized tree house, hammock, and exploring outdoors.
★★★★★Laura KahlerWe had a wonderful time with our three kids 2, 4 and 6 years in age. The tree house was perfect. The kids loved. All the intricate detail didn’t go unnoticed from the one of a kind murals to the hiding spot and decorative lights. A must see in Solon, IA. The zip line is a perfect for kids our older two loved. All three enjoyed the climbing walls. There are swings off of the back of the well built tree house. Becky is known for her food and cooking classes so food for purchase does not disappoint. Highly recommend the homemade pizza and cinnamon rolls. Also can utilize the fire and make s’mores or roast marshmallows - we will be doing next time!
★★★★★Kelly HoenigFantastic cooking camp experience for my son! As one of the younger kids in the class, Becky did a great job of working with him and increasing his confidence in the kitchen. Becky's kitchen is clean and safe for kids of all ages. I would highly recommend her camps and birthday parties!
