This is a great alternative activity. It's hot so dress for the heat. It's not as hands on as a painting or cooking class so don't expect full access to your project (ours was a flower), which is why my 3 stars vs. 5. After being there and experiencing glass blowing, I can see why the novice would not be allowed full access. The glass is kept in a super hot oven and the blown glass requires expertise to shape, color and form and also requires extreme temperatures. So think of having a pre-schooler help boil eggs, that's about as hands on as it gets. These guys know what they are doing and can help make the experience interesting. I'm glad we did it, but will likely find something different for the next group activity.
