Splatter Paints — Attraction in West St. Paul

I celebrated my birthday with my favorite people at Splatter Paints and we had a blast! Pros: good “clean” fun, but you get to be super messy unique experience get to be creative and it’s freeing we got to choose the music style to set the mood take home a memory in the form of an 8x10 canvas sharing the room with another group is comfortable as there is plenty of space appropriate for all ages Cons: We were welcomed with an anecdote about how the previous group were bad tippers and told we should tip better than they did. I don’t understand how this is a tipping situation. You pay $32/person and once you’re set up with the rules and some protective gear there is no additional service provided by the staff. Everything extra we needed (more canvases, extra paint, boxes for our paintings after we were done) we had to go up and get ourselves.

Would recommend for a group activity, but probably a one-time...

The gear given for adults was perfect, but for kids, not at all. We were given the cheapest ponchos I’ve ever seen for kids, told to double up and they still ripped within minutes. It was so stressful trying to keep a 6 year old clean and the staff got irritated that we asked for more ponchos. Because there are absolutely no bathrooms or sinks on site and we were given baby wipes to clean ourselves up, I think they should invest in better coverings for children. Also, it’s tough when they book other groups over yours, because you feel pressured to leave and like you can’t do as much as you’d like. The extra paint was expensive and felt like a rip off.. there’s no way they filled those starter paint bottles to the top. I don’t think we’ll go again...

My friend and I took our kids here and it was a blast. Time flew by and we spent most of it painting each other than the actual canvas. Signed up for an extra canvas which didn’t even realize we got until the very end. We had a last minute addition to our group and the staff was really nice about it. Kids got to wear ponchos and adults had these jumpsuits like CSI. The shoe covers were pointless honestly because shortly after we were sticking to the floor or slipping through it was pretty funny. There were baby wipes on each side to wipe off paint but honestly just forget it. You’re going there and you’re going to get messy. It was our group ands another on each side of the space. Good music and good fun. Good our...
