10/10 would visit again - Had an amazing experience coming here, the staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating and are obviously very passionate about the process and are happy to talk about it. Popcorn was offered part way through and we were walked through the whole process, the staff are very patient and excellent with kids. Our host was wonderful and very entertaining, overall couldn't ask for a better trip.

Great family experience - We stumbled across this place on a Google search on things to do. We participated as a family of 2 adults and 2 children and it was a fun family activity. We each got to pick a door and miniature figure to paint. The children were given two big bowls of popcorn while painting. It's a great experience and well worth a visit

Fun time for families with older kids - Lots of fun seeing how the figurines were made and the quiet painting time was a nice change for me after lots of running around sightseeing.

Great time painting miniatures - It was a lovely day that we spend at the toy soldier factory. Me and my wife were on honeymoon in Ireland when we heard about this lovely place. We both took a painting workshop and painted up some miniatures (were bat for me, Leprechaun for her). We loved it! It is a great afternoon spend for young and old.

Fantastic day out. - What a lovely afternoon we spent in the toy factory we had a wonderful lady Helen helping us she couldn't do enough for us. What a fantastic lady to have working there so friendly remembering kids names ect. She provided pop corn while we were painting. A great hit with the kids. No rushing us out. As it was quite. Definitely recommend for kids 6 or 7 up. Unless an adult helped with painting.

Fantastic Return visit - Made an online booking for 3 adults and 3 children, age 7, 8, 10. We were here for my moms birthday 4 years ago, she wanted her grandchildren to make something on her birthday so we surprised her with a return visit and we had the best day. Eileen was so lovely to us 4 years ago and Marie was equally as kind and welcoming to us this time. She was so kind and attentive, a really lovely lady. The children chose between fairy doors and little figurines and they loved painting them. Due to Covid, we have not taken our children to any indoor places/activities so this was our first indoor experience and it was so safe and well spaced out with social distancing. For anyone thinking of a nice family afternoon, this place is perfect and you take home your beautiful souvenirs that you painted. We will be back. Thank you so much for making my moms birthday so special.
