★★★★★Beth GThe boys had a great time. This is a gem on hopkins mainstreet. The support our community and are a fun place to bring your kids. Everyone is welcome. They have lots of birthday party options.
★★★★★Vanessa LloydWe were looking for something different this year to celebrate my 11-year-old daughter’s birthday and are so glad we found Mess Hall Arts. Renting out the entire studio made the party feel extra special, and every kid had an absolute blast splatter painting and making slime. What really impressed me was the staff. They somehow knew every child by name almost immediately and kept all of them engaged, energized, and having fun the entire time. Overall it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I just wish we had more time! Thanks again to the staff for making this the "best birthday ever!"
★★★★★Kayla GibbonsI had my daughter’s birthday party (Neon Party) here a few weeks ago and I cannot say enough wonderful things about how great it was. The staff was fantastic with the kids, which allowed the adults to enjoy the party and not need to be hands-on with hosting. There were enough activities planned that the kids had a fantastic time. On top of that, I had an issue where I mistyped my own email address which resulted in me not getting confirmation emails. When I reached out in a panic to Mess Hall, they were very quick to reply and kind and patient in their response. They immediately helped me feel at ease with the mistake I made. Great business! We will probably be back next year for the next party!
★★★★★Rose MccormickWe came here for my daughter’s 8th Slime Birthday Party! The kids absolutely loved the activities and there was never a dull moment. I could not stop smiling! Exceptional staff Kat and Remy were welcoming, enthusiastic, fun, friendly and attentive, creating a stress free memorable experience. The owner Alex is exceptional, welcoming, fun, and brilliant. Alex has created a wonderful family environment for everyone. Wide variety of fun and engaging art activities suitable for all ages. I want to take the adult classes. We will be coming back here. Worth every penny. A rare gem!
