Fun, relaxed and educational experience - I came here with my family as we wanted to do something different to just going to the beach. We had a wonderful experience. It’s a fun, relaxing and educational trip. We all got to pick the item we wanted to paint and the colors we wanted to use. It’s a no pressure and fun experience. You don’t have to be a good painter and you get to keep your painted creation at the end of the visit. I would highly recommend this workshop

Creative and Cultural - I came as part of a cruise excursion as I am disabled and still wanted something interesting to do. I highly recommend! Our guide was Adrianna and she had a real passion for the history and story of alebrije. I saw some reviews where people were rude about the used paint brushes or sticks or lack of choices etc. I didn't experience any of those issues. Yes the paint brushes etc have been used before but you shouldn't expect everything to be brand new every time, that is wasteful. Everything was clean, we were inside with A/C and had a wide selection available.

Such a fun, unique experience! - We booked this as a shore event on our cruise and I’m so glad we did! We really enjoyed learning about Alebrijes and then getting to paint our own to keep! The grounds are really nice and the painting studio is air conditioned. Also the guides were really great!
