There is ample FREE parking right in front of The Story Closet, including two handicapped spaces directly on front, and more very close nearby. We have no shortage of parking!
Yes! The Shop and Event space is on the ground floor and the entrance and bathroom are handicapped accessible. If you wish to arrive early or have concerns or needs let us know and we will provide assistance.
Yes, all materials used are non-toxic in our workshops. Some classes may use strong glues – but those will be taught outside in warmer weather- and not in the shop. Also, although Resin is considered non-toxic, a mask is available for those that choose to wear one. Some classes may require tools that could create an injury such as hot glue, heat gun, scissors, or other. This will be disclosed in the workshop description so that you are aware of it before signing up, and if the student or child does not wish to use, then help will be given for that portion of the project.
It is possible to inquire about private or group bookings other than the birthday parties. This is on a case by case basis. You can inquire here.
If an item is damaged it is returnable two weeks after purchase. However, most items are hand or custom made and so can only be returned if there is something visibly wrong with the item.
Sometimes the weather prevents attendance. If it is too dangerous to drive we understand that a cancellation – rebooking may be needed.
Prices vary. See this breakdown for custom prices.
Most parties are geared for kids age 5 and up, with the most common age between 7-11. We can discuss parties for younger, older children, and adults. The Story Closet has thrown parties for families raging form 3-83 years of age so anything is possible! Let us know what you are thinking and we will see what we will do!
We can arrange a party that is one hour and just has mainly a puppet show. See this breakdown for custom prices.
Right now we are only throwing parties at The Story Closet. We may travel in the future but as of right now we are not offering a travel option.
Booking at least 2 weeks ahead is ideal to get the date and time you desire. Shorter notice may be possible but also, may not. Letting us know further in advance helps us get it all set up exactly to your choice of theme and activities.
We offer a range of themes that can be customizable to you your party on the list provided here. On rare occasions we have created a totally unique theme for your party for a fee.
We understand that with a lot of people coming from all over some may run late. We always have a 20 minute grace period at the start of the party where we provide an activity before a show starts. However, at 20 minutes in we do begin. That’s ok if you are late you can just jump in the fun at any time!
Photos without a flash are permitted and encouraged. You are welcome to take photos and post them to show what an amazing time you had.
