Art Beast Childrens Studio Preschool — Local services in Sacramento

Art Beast is an awesome place to go and take your young children. In my opinion the ideal age would be 18 months through 5 years. I've brought my children here when they are younger than that and there's really not much they can do although it's still usually a good experience. The backyard area is always a hit with my kids, they enjoy playing with the toy kitchen and sand and water features. My daughter enjoyed playing with the baby doll bathing station when she was younger.I feel like they could do more with the basement area which is the dramatic play area. They have a piano in there which is nice but the rest of the area is generally a big mess. it's not just that the puppets and dress-up clothing are in a huge heap on the floor when you walk in- it's that the carpet is usually dirty and looks like it needs a vacuum and the dress-up clothing is so tattered and worn that it's falling apart and not usable. I wish they would come up with something different to do in that area to enhance it because right now it's just a disappointment when you go down there and my opinion. The best part of course is the main floor where they have all the art supplies and Play-Doh and clay and you can paint and sculpt to your heart's content. Sacramento is lucky to have this establishment and it has a lot of...

I wanted to like this place so much and in a way I do. I love the idea of my son being about to do crafts that doesnt end with glue all over my table, or paint on my carpet. But I came in with my almost 2 son and 6 Month twins. There is no elevator so I'm carrying twin carseats up and down stairs, fine I can live with that, Downtown, old house. 9 dollars for my son to play, okay not bad. But why am I being charged 9 dollars for myself. I'm not there for me; I'm there for my son. I'm not playing with the blocks and legos or painting pictures, doing crafts. Most parking is an hour so I'm paying 18 dollars to hang for an hour and go move my car or leave? I rather pay 12 or 15 for my son to play. I feel like places for kids shouldn't charge the parent entry. I would never walk in on my own (no kids)and be like yeah I'm going to hang here. Honestly, they would probably kick me out. Between the stair, parking, and paying 18 dollar entry ( the straw that broke the camel's back) I cant...

Such a creative place for kids, multi tiered activity rooms, basement has a puppet theater, space ship, costumes, an actual stage (kid sized). Next floor up is crafts, water colors, clay, drawing activities and a mini indoor playground. Top floor they have a dance studio with other play rooms. You can also go outside and do some water activities and they have an awesome play kitchen. My daughter LOVED painting and drawing, you get to keep the art btw, she made several pieces and she got to play with another little girl. Such a great way to socialize kids if you're new to Sacramento or just want some time for your child to get creative and not have to worry about the mess. Affordable visits, probably will do a membership once the smoke goes to down to...
