    My daughter attended last week’s Art camp and she absolutely loved every minute of it. She couldn’t wait to go each morning, and every afternoon came home smiling and excited to tell us about her day and everything she had created. The art projects she brought home were so thoughtful and creative. It was so special to see the care, creativity, and pride that went into each one.
    Curio is such a welcoming, inspiring, and nurturing environment for children. We will be signing up for future camps!

    My daughter Alma absolutely loved the art camp! She had such a wonderful time every day and never wanted to go home. If she could, she would spend the whole summer there. The staff created such a fun, creative, and welcoming environment. Thank you for making it such a special experience.

    Best kept secret in Barrie. A great place for your kids to learn and play. Lots of creative and thinking play areas. My granddaughter went to summer camp there then we decided to ask to have her birthday party there recently. The staff is amazing and nice. No trouble at all everyone was happy. Thank you so much for the accommodation. Just remember to wear your mask. Love this place. Check it out.

    I really enjoy the environment Curio as created! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. This space is more than just a place to explore it's a community. Thank you Curio Team for all that you do! It doesn't go unnoticed!

    I recently attended a birthday party here. I found this place to be extremely dirty. There was hair balls on the floor that I had to ask them to clean up. I could tell you right now the carpets were not vacuumed in a long time. The amount of debris was appalling. They had a live clean soap dispenser in the washroom, filled with water I had to ask for soap. We were asked to remove our shoes and be in socks therefore you would assume the floors would be a little bit clean but my daughter who was of crawling age left with her pants and hands completely filthy. I’ve been to many play places and this one by far is on the do not recommend list.

    We had our son’s 3rd birthday here and everything was great! The space was ready upon arrival with a separate “party room” for snacks and belongings. We went with Curio because we loved the idea of having the environment to ourselves and not sharing it with 4 other parties going on at the same time, and felt the price was extremely reasonable. It allowed the kids to actually explore and play with one another. We also loved that we were able to bring in whatever we wanted in terms of balloons, decor and party snacks. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back.
