4Cats Arts Studio (Uptown Waterloo)

So much fun! Did a wheel class for the first time ever. The instructors did a cool demo and were super helpful.

So far a very difficult site to navigate through. Make a mistake in booking and they can't correct and will keep your money and refuse a refund. Quite pricey to be making mistakes like this.

Our children enjoy attending their art programs. They have a variety of programs to choose from.

I had my 4 and 7 year olds birthday party here on the same day. We did the splatter party. The atmosphere, the transitions between activities, the friendly staff.it was all perfect. We were covered in paint, we were laughing, and we were having fun.

Learned about individual artists and came home with great art pieces. Kids had a lot of fun during summer camp, and want to return in August. Instructors are nice, great with kids.

A fun place for kids’ birthday party and camps. Very well organized and kids really enjoyed being here.

UPDATE: They have offered us a better pricing option. We appreciated their efforts for trying to accommodate us and our budget.

We have always had a great time here with my class. We have attended multiple times. We looked forward to going again. But ever since our location transferred to new management/ownership (?), I regret that we will no longer be able to attend due to the huge increase in pricing. This service is no longer realistic for school classes to attend. It is a shame they need to charge these prices. Other art programs have a base starting price for up to 10 kids ranging from $150-200.4 Cats want $300 plus $ for each extra child. By the time a class pays for all the extra kids plus the busing costs it will run them about $25-30 each to attend a basic 1-1.5 hour painting or clay session. On the website I can't book online for my location as it appears to be missing from the system. I am sure there is more to the story with the extreme price hike. But from other articles I have read about 4 Cats franchising and it's "Head Office" this is not the place I would be investing in.

I absolutely agree with the reviewer below regarding their service quality plummet while their price increased by almost 30%. It used to be a franchisee but now operated by the “owner” of the franchise who lives out of town.
It’s ridiculous that they charge $300 for ten 1.5 hr classes; two clearly-no-experience instructors for 20 kids (they said it will be 3 instructors but it was only 2 instructors most of the time). All the kids do is work on their choice of stuff without any learning or proper instructions. It was such waste of money and time.

Our instructor was Alex, and made our experience awesome! My friend and I went to a Friday night class to make the Yeti mug. It was was so much fun and such a creative environment. Alex was super helpful and made the class of us strangers feel more than welcome and got us all to have a great time. I am booking my next class right now!

Had an absolute blast here making mugs. Our instructor, Alex, was highly knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. She knew how to make us feel at ease within a group and have fun in the process of creating. I definitely plan on coming back!

Wonderful little art studio. The staff was amazing with all the kids and the project was very engaging with the right amount of fun and challenges for a bunch of five and six year olds.highly recommend you take your children or organize your next kids birthday party here!

My daughter has completed several classes here and attended parties. Great fun. She's learned about several artists and is always eager to go back. Friendly staff too!
