- I loved it! This class takes place at a Maker Space with a 3D printer, so you get to pick out a free online pattern to house in your terrarium, and my friend got a turtleduck. It comes with a free drink too. Just a note, it doesn’t take 2 hours, it’s a lot shorter, and the terrarium is heavy, so I would schedule it for the end of a trip out.
- Wonderful activity! The process of making it was so fun, and the instructors were very nice and clear with their instructions. I’d definitely go again.

- We loved this event and plan to do it again in the future! The only thing was birth birthstones were not available at the time, so I would suggest maybe writing it in notes when you book, as that might help. Our instructor mentioned not having enough time so that may be part of why we couldn’t. We’ll be back though! Thank you!!
