Visiting The Art Cafe at Laughing Fish Gallery with kids
Looking for something fun & creative to do with the kids in Traverse City? Laughing Fish Gallery Art Cafe is such a fun indoor outing—and a great one for a rainy, snowy, or smoky day.
The gallery is filled with colorful, happy artwork created by a local mother-daughter duo. In the Art Cafe, you can create your own happy masterpiece and choose from 30+ wooden projects, including cats, butterflies, sailboats, bears, dogs, aliens, laughing fish, and more. Projects start at $20, and all of the supplies are provided.
