Paintbox Kid's Art Center | Monroe County, NY

I brought my sons here after a not-so-great experience at another local art center (one of them has ADHD and sometimes needs redirection), and Nicki was incredibly sweet and patient. From the moment they walked in, they could tell they’d love it—and they did! The space has so many art supplies and a great play area. It’s only been a couple of weeks, and they’re already asking when they can go back, so we’ve already booked another visit! Thank you Nicki for providing a space where my kids feel accepted!

This is an amazing and magical place. My kids have been going to “Miss Nicki’s” at the Paintbox for 2 years. We go weekly and there’s always something new to explore and discover. For parents looking for a safe, creative and relaxing place for your kids- this is it!

We’ve been coming to Paintbox for over a year since moving here, and this place is absolutely amazing! Nicki and her staff are incredible—always welcoming and attentive. The space is cozy but never feels overcrowded (there’s a limit), and it’s always spotless. Nicki’s creativity shines through in the craft ideas she comes up with for the kids. Storytime is a favorite for my girls—they look forward to it every time. The two hours you spend here fly by because it’s just that much fun! We recently celebrated our third birthday party here, and it was a huge hit with everyone. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is and how much we appreciate Nicki’s dedication. Highly recommend Paintbox to anyone looking for a fun and creative space for kids!

We booked online for two hour drop-in play and it was a great time! The girls were 8, 5, and 4 years old. The owner was kind, aware, and interacted with every child. The girls did neon painting, kinetic sand, dancing, dress up, played with tons of different toys, and enjoyed story time with a snack at the halfway point. They didn't stop for two hours straight!

We had my son’s 5th birthday party at Paintbox and it was a huge hit. Reasonably priced, Nicki decorated the space beautifully in a dinosaur theme. It was so easy, we just had to supply the cake and food- everything else was taken care of! The kids all had a blast- clean space, amazing crafts and toys, so much for the kids to do. Nicki and her assistant were awesome with the kids- highly recommend!
