I have attended a few "Painting with a Twist" classes in Sarasota now, and I am absolutely hooked. My girl friends and I are thrilled that we found this studio - so many different classes are offered from canvas to wine glasses to wood plank and even tote bags. No matter what your artistic style is, PWAT Sarasota has something for everyone. The teachers are all super fun and engaging, but I have to give a huge shout out to Phil, as he is the reason I will continue going to this studio! Phil shared with us his knowledge and expertise in the art field in a way that was easy to follow, simple to replicate, and above all was FUN! Phil really knows how to get the party started and keeps it going the whole time you're in class, while still keeping everyone on track and painting. He truly is the perfect host - a mix of a teacher and entertainer - I cannot rave about Phil enough! I will definitely be requesting him to run my birthday party this October, and I highly suggest anyone reading this review do the same. Thank you PWAT Sarasota for creating a space where everyone can express themselves while still leaving with a gorgeous piece of art work! I wish I could give this studio 10 stars!!!!

What do you get when you tell 8 best buddies that you’re gonna lock them in a “cabin in the woods” and that they will have to solve clues to escape? What you get is one week of anticipation filled with laughter. Then the lock up happens. One hour full of teamwork complete with more strategizing and laughter is what you get. Finally you’re freed and head out for lunch and libations and of course, more laughter.

The detective in my heart went insane with this place! My brother, a family friend and I went and did two rooms: the Clue-Dunnit and the Robot Toy Factory. Clue-Dunnit was our favorite, but they were both extremely fun and challenging! Suzi Q was amazing! She was so kind when we came in, and was great at answering any questions and making us feel at ease in a place we haven’t been before and doing something we had never done. Would highly recommend!

While visiting Florida, I fell into this range. While they require a membership( $12.00), it is far less expensive than their competition, which is $40.00 plus monthly dues. The staff and all the employees at TAKE AIM, are friendly and try to ensure that you have a great shooting experience. I cannot wait to go back; this is what every range should be like: FRIENDLY & HELPFUL.

I have only ever gone to do laser tag once at CQ Tactical in Brandon. I was very impressed by the facility despite being inside a run down mall. I really hope they move to a stand alone location because I’d love to return and don’t want the mall to shut down first! I loved that the game is played with the laser tag guns only. No head wraps or vests with sensors. My son is 8 and he really enjoyed himself. We will strongly consider this for birthdays in the future!
