More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A Saturday morning at Providence Marketplace: kids gather around a long table under bright studio lights, paint cups clinking as an instructor reads a short, playful story. Little hands tilt canvases and watch pigments run and meet — each swirl reacting like a river changing course. The space feels lively and focused, set inside Suite #535 where parents can photograph the messy, joyful work.

History
Mount Juliet sits on the eastern fringe of the Nashville metro and grew from rural roots into a commuter city; local retail hubs like Providence Marketplace reflect the area’s suburban expansion over recent decades.
Conservation
The studio uses single-session, low-waste supplies but families can help by bringing reusable towels and avoiding single-use plastics when packing snacks.
Reserve your spot on the Storytime and Swirls Art Workshop in Mt Juliet today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring a smock or wear old clothes
Paint pours can splatter; a smock or an old shirt protects clothing and reduces stress when kids get enthusiastic.
Arrive early for check-in and parking
Plan to be at least 10–15 minutes early to find parking at the shopping center and settle children before the session starts.
Pack wipes and a small towel
Wipes make cleanup faster for hands and seats; a towel helps protect your car seat on the drive home.
Confirm age and ticket rules
This class is for children under 13 (recommended 3+); bookings are one ticket per child and all sales are final—double-check before you reserve.
Art smock or old shirt
