WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING

Kayla Powell
We hosted my daughter’s birthday here and the kids had SO much fun. The stuff a stuffy party was a total hit. The kids each picked which stuffy they wanted to fill, put a heart inside and got to decorate a shirt for their stuffy. The staff was friendly and helpful and best of all I got to sit and enjoy the party. I highly recommend booking your party here. It’s worth the cost.
Dee Purdy
My daughter had her 7th birthday party here the other day. We chose the “stuffy” party. It was amazing! The staff, Miss Melissa and Miss Kay were so great with the kids. All the kids were engaged and enjoying the activity for 2 hrs! Thanks Pinnovate and will be back !
Tania White
I cannot say enough good things about this place! Friends and I have participated in live group sessions, making customized wine glasses and door mats. The service is friendly, and the instructors knowledgeable and helpful. Wine menu and pizza were tasty. Recently, due to Covid restrictions, Pinnovate provided materials, instructions and videos so my friends and I could create grinch trees together over a conference call from home. They made it easy- delivery was prompt. The service this business provides is excellent, and I highly recommend!
Heather Johnston
We booked our sons 6th birthday here and it was amazing! From the communication upon booking, to the follow up the week of the party, everything was handled flawlessly. Everyone at Pinnovate was beyond kind and professional and I had zero stress leading into it or during the party. We had children attend from ages 4-7 yrs old and they were all engaged and happy! The art they took home was adorable too! We would definitely book again!
Melissa O'Neill
Not only are the arts and crafts incredible but the staff is outstanding at Pinnovate! My daughter completed a camp and the leaders helped each day get her settled and she had the best time! We will be back for drop-in activities and summer camps!
