Super Fun Late Night Thursday at The Messy Moose 🎨✨
Thursdays just got way better.
Late Night Thursday is all about big creativity, zero pressure, and the kind of fun that only happens when the day winds down and the studio stays lit. Expect open-ended art stations, sensory play, music, laughs, and plenty of room to experiment, explore, and get messy.
No step-by-step projects. No “do it this way.” Just materials, imagination, and the freedom to create however it feels right.
Perfect for kids who love to stay up a little later, try something new, and hang out in a relaxed, creative space with friends.
Come for the mess. Stay for the magic.
Same great drop in price!
