Pleasanton birthday party FAQ

How much is a kids birthday party in Pleasanton?

Every party is priced for a group of 10, from $350 (Fluid Art) to $850 (Resin Beach Scene), plus tax; our most popular, Fluid Art, is $350 for 10. You can add guests up to 25 when you book, and the booking window shows the total for your group before you pay. A private Studio Hour ($150 + tax) for cake and food, pizza and juice, a second activity, a themed party and a signature canvas are optional add-ons you can choose when you book.

How many kids can come — what's the maximum?

Group party pricing is for 10 to 25 participants, with 10 children as the minimum. Planning a bigger group? Just ask and we'll help with space and timing. Smaller groups are welcome to book any art activity directly instead.

What ages are the parties for?

Parties start at age 5 with Fluid Art and Drip Art Characters. Resin Tumbler parties are for ages 6 and up, Glass Painting 7 and up, Decoden Art 8 and up, Resin Beach Scene 10 and up, and Resin Mosaics 13 and up. Tell us your group's age when you book and we'll recommend the best-fit activity.

How long is the party?

Booking an activity package reserves one hour in the studio for the art experience. Add the private Studio Hour and your party becomes two hours, with time for cake and food (set up and break down included).

Can we bring our own food and cake?

Yes — cake, cupcakes and pizza are yours to bring, with the Studio Hour add-on, which is required for food. You get a private hour to cut the cake and enjoy your food, and we provide tables, tablecloths, setup, and cleanup. Prefer we handle food? Add cheese pizza and juice for your group when you book ($100 + tax for 10 kids), or ask us about catering.

Is everything — materials, aprons, cleanup — included?

Yes. Every package includes a dedicated host, all art supplies and materials, aprons, step-by-step instruction, and cleanup. You just bring the birthday kid and the guests — we handle the mess.

Where are you located, and do you serve Dublin, Livermore and Sunol?

We're in Pleasanton at 1304 Stoneridge Mall Rd, Pleasanton, CA 94588, inside Stoneridge Mall, and we host kids birthday parties for families across Dublin, Livermore, Sunol, Fremont and the greater Tri-Valley.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 2–3 weeks ahead, and earlier for weekend and holiday dates, which fill up fast. Have a last-minute date in mind? Call or text (925) 558-6357 and we'll do our best to fit you in.

What do the kids make and take home?

Each guest creates their own piece — a canvas, tumbler, drip character, mosaic, candle or similar, depending on the activity. Most artwork needs 7–10 days to dry and cure and is ready for pickup at the studio; same-day take-home add-on activities go home the day of the party.

What are the best places for a kids birthday party in Pleasanton?

Makers Art Studio is one of Pleasanton's top-rated birthday party places — 4.9 stars from 109 Google reviews. Instead of a standard party room, kids make real art they take home, guided from start to finish, with a private studio option for cake and celebration.

How is this different from a paint-and-sip or paint-your-own-pottery party?

Instead of one preset project, guests choose from guided experiences like fluid art, resin, tumblers, mosaics, candle making and drip characters. Every party is hosted step by step, works for all skill levels, and everyone leaves with a finished, one-of-a-kind piece.

Do you host birthday parties for teens and adults?

Yes. Fluid Art suits every age from 4 up, and resin, tumbler, Decoden Art and candle making activities are popular for teen birthdays, milestone celebrations, and adult friend groups. We'll match the activity to your group's age when you book.

Can we book a private party or buy out the studio?

Yes. Adding the Studio Hour gives you private studio time for cake and celebration. For a full private buyout or a large group, use the inquiry form on this page or call or text (925) 558-6357 and we'll set it up.

Is there parking at your Pleasanton studio?

Yes — we are inside Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton, with plenty of free parking.

What should kids wear to the party?

Comfortable clothes that can get a little messy. We provide aprons, but paint and resin are part of the fun — so leave the brand-new outfits at home.

Do you offer weekend birthday parties?

Yes — we host parties throughout the week, including weekends. Check the Book Now calendar for open dates and reserve early, since weekend slots fill up fast.

Is a deposit required to book?

Yes — a $150 deposit holds your date and room, and it comes off your final bill. If you already know exactly what you'd like to do, you're welcome to pay the full amount at checkout instead.

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

14 or more days before your party, move your date once for free or keep the deposit as a credit. 3 to 13 days before, your deposit becomes a credit toward a new date. Less than 3 days before, the deposit is kept. If we have to cancel, you get a full refund. Your final headcount is due 7 days before. For full details, please review our cancellation and refund policy.

Do siblings and parents need to be counted in the guest list?

Yes — everyone who takes part counts toward your guest count. If a sibling, parent, or friend is joining in to create their own art, please include them in your headcount.

Can you accommodate food allergies or dietary needs?

Because all party food and cake are brought in by the host and guests, Makers Art Studio does not prepare, provide, or handle party food and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment — please review ingredients directly with whoever provides the food. Our art materials are non-toxic and generally skin-safe; if a guest has a known allergy or sensitivity (for example to latex or specific materials), let us know in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate. Guests take part at their own discretion.

Can I book a birthday party for fewer than 10 kids?

Yes. Birthday party packages are priced for a group of 10, but smaller groups are always welcome: book seats directly in any studio experience, choosing one seat per guest. It's the same guided activity and take-home art, priced per person.

What does it cost to add more guests to a package?

Each package covers 10 guests, and you can add guests up to 25 in the booking window. The price for each extra guest depends on the activity, and the booking window shows your full total, plus tax, before you pay. For more than 25 guests, plan it with the studio.

Can we do two activities at one party?

Yes. Add a second activity for your guests when you book: Fluid Bear Keychains ($150), a Patch Party they take home the same day ($250), or a small Decoden Art project ($350), each for a group of 10 kids, plus tax.

Do you offer a keepsake for the birthday child?

Yes. Add a Signature fluid art canvas, 16x20 ($85) or 18x24 ($105), plus tax. All the guests sign and help create it, so the birthday child takes home one combined piece of art from their party.

Can we have a candle making birthday party?

Yes — candle making parties are only offered at our Pleasanton studio. Choose sand wax ($350 for 10) or soy wax ($490 for 10), plus tax, and every guest pours a scented candle to take home.

Can you decorate for a themed party?

Yes. Add a Themed Party ($200 + tax) when you book: mermaid, unicorn, princess and more, with themed decor, plates, setup and cleanup handled for you.

Do you have party favors?

Every guest already takes home the art they make. If you'd like extra party favors, call or text the studio at (925) 558-6357 to hear the current options.
