★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 47 reviews · from $42

“The good: It is a fun and funky experience. I think it would work well with something else, not by itself, something to make it part of spending a while in Wynwood. It would be cool to have a tour guided by an artist. The bad: The address in the confirmation was confusing (#402, we entered through #404). The setup is not great if it rains. I would have liked a bigger canvas, perhaps an actual wall! Overall: great time, combined with other activities in Wynwood... and there are plenty: Walls, restaurants, boutiques, walking and more.”
