FAQ

The Answers You Need

Who is responsible for set-up of the party?

For kid’s parties, parents are responsible for providing food/beverages, party table cloths, decorations, and cleanup. NO piñatas or confetti are allowed.

When can I arrive to decorate and set-up?

You may arrive 30 minutes early for your party. To be able to fit in all of the fun activities, please be on time! Guests will be directed to your party room when they arrive.

Does the HCA provide food?

The HCA does not provide food or refreshments. There is no kitchen on site. Parents are responsible for refreshments, along with the setup and cleanup. You may bring a store-bought cake, ice cream, and refreshments to the party. You may have food delivered or ask us about our list of local caterers. No homemade goods allowed.

Once the activity starts can I leave the children with the instructor?

The instructor and staff on hand are not there to babysit the children. At least one adult must be present to supervise children at all times. 

What happens at the end of the party?

The room must be vacated after the two hours and left in the state in which it was found. This includes removal of all items brought into the building. There is a dumpster and recycling bin in the parking lot for all trash to be disposed of.

What is the price and is a deposit required?

Each art activity is priced according to materials and instructor fees. Additional costs can apply depending on number of participants, extended party hours, or materials needed.

A non-refundable 25% deposit is required to hold the space with the balance due one week prior to the event. Please book parties at least two-weeks in advance. Party rentals are based on availability. All party payments are nonrefundable.
