On the other hand, if you opt for a Party Room Rental, you have access to the additional Party Room space and Paint Room, for 90 minutes. This longer time frame is designed to accommodate groups, making it ideal for celebrations, events, or larger gatherings. The 90-minute party room rental not only allows for a more leisurely creative process but also provides additional time for socializing, enjoying refreshments, and celebrating the artistic achievements of the participants. the party room is a separate room from the SPLATery paint room where you can decorate and set the party up.

Whether you choose a regular 30-minute SPLATery session or a 90-minute Party Room rental, both options offer a unique and enjoyable environment for individuals or groups to unleash their creativity in the paint room. Participants can create lasting memories while expressing themselves through art in a fun and supportive setting.
