Reviews for Fun Classes in Chicago

Fun Classes in Chicago are rated 4.5 stars based on 388 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Excellent class from a knowledgeable baker. Exceeded my expectation as I'm hard of hearing and she wore a device so I was able to hear the demonstration. Pick up some good information for different challah shapes.
  • I’ve really enjoyed this class! B is an excellent teacher and as someone who is new to drawing, I learned a lot of fundamental techniques that will be essential as I progress.
  • This course is run by Chef Franco of Franco Sushi. He is an excellent teacher, and he is very prompt with communication before and after the class. This would be an ideal class for a date night as well, since he can run it as a private class for 2 people.
  • It was very fun
  • Chef Koko was delightful! We had a great time.
  • We had a great time. Chef Coco was really knowledgable and we learned how to make sushi. We have already bought supplies to try it at home!
  • I went to the pasta-making class at The Chopping Block in Lincoln Square on Tuesday, September 2nd, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. This class was a birthday gift for me (probably the best gift I’ve ever gotten), and it made for not only a super fun birthday outing but also a great date night with my partner. This was my first cooking class ever, and as someone who already loves cooking at home, I was blown away by how fun and hands-on it was. Chef Alexi was fantastic—she explained everything clearly, from rolling and cutting fettuccine to filling ravioli, and even the details of cooking the pasta just right. She was patient, thorough, and always ready to answer questions. Plus, there were other chefs walking around to offer help whenever anyone needed it, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We cooked a lot of food—and even had enough to take home afterward, which was such a treat. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my birthday. I left with full hands (and a full stomach), new cooking skills, and some really great memories. If you’re looking for something fun, interactive, and delicious, I can’t recommend The Chopping Block enough.
  • i loved this course. the instructor was very informative and entertaining! definitely would recommend. please market these courses more!
  • Great instructor and information! Will be back!

  • Great teacher. The space is also wonderful. Love the brightly lit room and going to class in a building filled with art.
  • Owners were so sweet, welcoming, and helping alongside while painting. Such a cool experience with the dimmed lighting and music.
  • LOVE!! I went by myself, met awesome people, had a blast - coming back!!
  • Couldn’t be happier with this class. Great pace. Great teacher. Love that there is free parking!
  • Putting us behind the bar to create our drinks was a perfect way to practice our bartending skills. I loved the experience this class provided and the hands-on approach format!
  • Duffy is an engaging instructor and the class is thorough and relaxed. Learned what I was hoping to and had a chance to practice it.
  • Pen, Ink and Watercolor has proven a wonderful art experience encompassing teaching of technique, skill and medium as well as sharing up to date information on the current art world. Michelle Kogan is a notable teacher and artist, supportive of student growth and experimentation. I have signed on again for another session.

  • Delicious and fun! The instructor and owner is so knowledgable about vegan and vegatarian Indian dishes and the health benefits of each ingredient. This is my 2nd course with her and I plan to attend more.
  • Naughty Night: Nude Male Painting

    It was said that it was 100 people in the room for this event. I came with 11. It was birthdays, bachelorette and divorces being celebrated. Awesome vibe in the room. Had a amazing time. Will come back for other classes.
  • Such a great class, learned a lot and the food was amazing! Highly recommend. Great energy.
  • Old World Chicago Pizza

    I learned a lot about ingredients and pizza-making techniques. Chef Michelina gave good instructions and demonstrated how to knead dough, which was helpful. I had a great time and highly recommend this class.
  • relaxing atmosphere, fun and creative class
  • Tavern Style Pizza at Home

    I had a great time with my friend in this class. Instructor and support staff were engaging, fun and nice. The class was informative and my pizza turned out to be delicious. I would recommend this to anyone considering it.
  • The instructor, Greg, was amazing! Funny, informative, and helpful. We really enjoyed the class and we’re looking forward to our wine bottling!
  • Arya was truly an amazing teacher and chef.
  • I had a great time!!! Can’t wait to see how my pipe and ashtray look!
  • I truly enjoyed 6 wks learning more & increase my ability. I am hoping to taping into more in drawing . I to thank my grandma for giving me the opportunity & the price was right to. Thank you Mario Townsend Jr
  • Good teacher and interesting classes covering paints and painting. Fun! And
  • Very informative. While a bunch of topics to cover in a fairly short period of time, I felt like Chef’s presentation was fabulous and she took the time to answer questions and explain the techniques such that it didn’t feel rushed at all.
  • I wish it was a bit longer so the instructor could have evaluated the finished product.
  • As a complete beginner, this was an excellent course. Although there were others in the class with far more experience than I, everyone was supportive and provided excellent feedback of previous work. Then there was time to learn and practice new concepts. As we got to watercolor and began practicing those techniques, the time flew by as I worked. I highly recommend this course and Sarah as an instructor. Thank you, Sarah!
  • She is great
  • It was a great class held outside with the perfect social distancing and the instructor was funny and very informative. I like that I was introduced to different kitchen tools that I got to purchase from the establishment.
  • The class was awesome. Instructor was wonderful. An overall meeting wonderful people is always a plus. Definitely would recommend the school for all classes you will learn alot. The instructor is very hands on.
  • Date Night: Pizza Classica

    This was the best date night we have had after 10 years. Leo and his staff was fantastic, they were extremely friendly and provided a environment where you felt like family. Before the class was over I started looking at what other classes I can attend. Well done!
  • Hands-On Mozzarella Making

    Andy was great! The venue was awesome too! We had time to get Drinks and socialize before the class as well.
  • Valentine's Day Pizza & Pairings

    Leo and Reneé were great! We had a fantastic time getting to learn a lot (and eat even more!)
  • The class was Great! Just enough information and background to get me interested but not so much that I was impatient to start making wine! Perfect balance. I can't wait to taste the wine. The only suggestion I would make would be for course horse, I did not know you could order your wine kit ahead of time, if it was mentioned I missed it and would like to see tidbits like that have a more prominent place in the description. It was a great experience and I would do it again. Gail
