Rigatoni & Robots

Was looking for unique child birthday party ideas and came across this business. It was amazing!! Great for children of all ages and gender. The options are customized to your preferences. The girls gravitated to the culinary arts while the boys were interested in building the super fun robot options, both girls and boys were into the fun of making "slime". There was no down time for the kids as there was always something to do to keep their attention. Rigatoni and Robots was super clean (sanitary), super organized, the staff was amazing and friendly - great for all guests, young and old. Highly recommend and look forward to signing my daughter up for the monthly membership.

I am a program leader for a local district and brought Kinder through 6th students here for a fieldtrip. Students made robots, slime, and cookie dough and were able to take ALL of it home! They had a blast! The curriculum that went along with each lesson was adapted for each grade level. Students learned about atomic equations, measurements, and tons of technology. Staff is very attentive to students and are very knowledgeable. Every grade level had a great experience and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Took my grandkids here and they loved it. A great fun learning experience.

I bought a groupon for this place and I was blown away by how awesome this eatablishment is. My scientific scholar child loved the experience.

Got Groupon deal for an introductory class. Called next day and found out that they are booked up 2 month ahead. After initial misunderstanding Laurie (director of the facility and instructor) was able to find us an opening. My child loved her whole experience and we decided to get a membership. The location is a bit tricky to find. Signing up process needs improvement but looks she's still growing her business.

We ordered a kit April 24 and as of aug 22 have not received. The payment was taken by a third party in Pennsylvania so I needed to request refund through owner Laurie. She said she sent it but we've not received it. Incredibly frustrating. I've got a crying six year old who checks the mail three times a day. Avoid this business. All of the Girl Scout and 4h stem kits we've ordered from California and Hawaii came unlike this one.

My daughter has enjoyed this week so much! She attended both the morning and afternoon sessions and was allowed to stay (with supervision) during the two hour break without an extra fee. We have craft projects all over the house and my six year old cooked dinner and brought it home to feed our entire family. While we ate, she told us about how she added herbs and the other details that went into each dish. She can't wait to go back again!

We've had a membership with Rigatoni and Robots for two months and adore it! My 2nd grade daughter loves cooking and picks between STEM or a craft each class. She attends two classes a month, three hours each as part of the monthly membership. They have an amazing valet service where you don't even have to get out of your car to pick up your child. SCORE! The instructors including the owner are incredible. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and know how to make learning fun. She didn't know any one when she joined and she's made so many friends. She counts down the days to go back and can't wait for the next class. I'm so impressed by Rigatoni and Robots and so grateful this program exists in Kern County. I highly recommend it!

I ordered a camp kit in late april of 2020. It never came. After 6 weeks (in june) i contacted the director and she said she didn't have our address. She asked for it and said she sent it. It never came. After two weeks I both texted her and left messages requesting a refund. No response. I also contacted the company that actually took the money and they said I needed to ask Laurie for the refund as its out of their hands. I finally got a hold of her mid July and she promised to send a check and offered to send a box because they had supplies left over. I hoped this was it but nothing has arrived two weeks later. My 6 year old checks for it every day since april. I really wanted to support a small business during pandemic but should have directly ordered from amazon what I needed. The kit i ordered from another business came in early may for my other kid. My issue is the second party collecting money was of no help. You cannot get your money back if dissatisfied. She indicated the company doesn't share the address I put in during payment process, hence couldn't send me the product I ordered. Calls and texts were unanswered for over a month. This is concerning business practice. I would avoid this business!

Have nothing but wonderful things to say about Laurie and her team (Alex and Sadie) who wowed my son and his friends for his 7th birthday engineering and science party. She went above and beyond offering a total party package from the invites down the gift box buffet goodie bags, cupcakes and snacks. She reined in my rowdy bunch with her awesome personality and great humor. Thanks Rigatoni and Robots we will definitely be seeing you again!
