Painting Wonderland — Attraction in Queen Creek

I went here about a week ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

I'm not particularly artsy (okay I'm not artsy at all) but the experience of going here was like nothing I've experienced before. I've been to "As You Wish" once and you might assume the two are alike but the only thing they have in common is the painting and (believe it or not) that's not the most important part.

What Painting Wonderland offers is a lifetime memory. An intimate get together with someone you love. Or even just an extremely relaxing environment to decompress and let your feelings out into your art. Where at As You Wish you'll be rushed and treated like you're just valuable for your money, at Painting Wonderland you'll interact with the staff and you'll feel that they genuinely care about your experience.

The mood is set by their wonderful, upbeat Playlist of music that never seemed to miss its mark. They played nothing but feel-good music and it just added to the experience. The atmosphere of the shop is cozy and laid back. Where most companies will make you feel like you're there to make them money, I just felt like I belonged at Painting Wonderland.

It's really hard to explain through words how this place made me feel without sounding overly cheesy or like I'm overselling the place, but let me just say I'm not exaggerating. Bring your significant other or bring your kid(s) and have a date worth remembering. One that they'll remember because you won't be surrounded by noise and distractions. One filled with 1 on 1 attention and love.

I live out in Mesa and was just visiting the area briefly (unfortunately), but I would drive out there just to spend a day painting at Painting Wonderland and I don't even...

Painting Wonderland is a great place for anyone who wants to get creative---artist or not! They have a huge selection of bisque ware that can be painted and fired or painted with acrylics and left to dry. Big or small, functional or decorative---they've got something for everyone. EVEN CANVASES! Some have a design traced onto them, kind of like a paint and canvas coloring page.

My husband and I spent hours here painting our projects the first time we went back in April. Yesterday and today, I was there by myself working on a special gift. Both times, the staff was knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging, and friendly. The prices are great, the rooms are well-lit, clean, and cool, and the ideas abound. Also, if you take on a project of epic portions, they'll let you work on it over multiple sessions, or maybe even by some extra paint to work on it at home!

I will...

This place is wonderful!! My sister brought me here with her kids and we had so much fun painting and enjoying the atmosphere inside. The next week I brought my husband for a date and we’re looking forward to doing it again soon! The artist and her family are so friendly and knowledgeable, we never lacked for assistance or tips. They even have a very inexpensive snack bar and allow you to bring in outside food/drinks so you can fully enjoy your painting session! Painting Wonderland is one of those special places in Queen Creek that brings the magic and vibe of what our town is all about. History, community and...
