The Factory St. Pete — Attraction in Saint Petersburg

Paid $85 for a date experience for my fiancé’s 27th birthday. Showed up once they opened and they told us that they are “closed for a private event” despite it not being listed on the website and them happily taking my money without informing us. They said we have to email their customer support for a refund. Nice but what about the birthday that’s now ruined? The week I have to wait for the refund? We’ve been planning to visit Floridarama for awhile now, now we’ll be telling everyone to stay away. Luckily we’re locals!

Absolutely livid about this, ruined my fiancé’s birthday and we aren’t rich so $85 wis a pretty penny to spend for an art exhibit. Don’t spend your money buying tickets here, you might as well light your money on fire- they are just about the same thing.

They took my $85, denied us entry, then ignored all of our emails for a refund despite having an automated email that says they’ll be back to you “within 36 hours.” It’s been 3 days and that doesn’t include how long it’ll take to get a refund.

In a time when it feels like so few places create that kind of space, they’ve done such an amazing job with not only just making a cool place to chill, but creating resources for the creative community in St. Pete. I personally can’t wait to see their continued growth. The vibe here is immaculate, everyone is so friendly and informative. whatever you guys are doing keep it up I’m...

So I went with a group for a performer night and it was amazing. The venue itself was huge and had plenty of room to walk around. The beer selection wasn’t huge, wish it had more of a variety, but the ones they had were great. The person at the drink counter was great. The art walk through was definitely an experience to walk through and see. It wasn’t super long and we were finished relatively quick, but it was still nice. Definitely a spot to...
