Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ACTION

20-Minute Smash Session

A focused, cathartic segment where guests break household breakable items including one standard item (toaster, printer, etc.). Participants may write a stressor on an item with a permanent marker before choosing a smashing device — options include a baseball bat, hammer, mallet, golf club or sledge hammer.

THE CRAFT

30-Minute Splash Paint Session

A creative cooldown: each participant receives a 12"x12" canvas and four bottles of paint (upgrades available at checkout) to make something colorful after the smash.

THE SAFETY

Protective Gear & Clothing Requirements

Protective equipment is provided for both platforms, including full helmet with face shield, padded chest guard and puncture‑proof gloves for smashing, and hairnet, poncho, protective glasses and shoe covers for painting. Guests must wear a long sleeve shirt, long jean pants, high socks and fully closed sneakers or boots to participate.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

The experience is compact and deliberate: a short, intense smash session designed for release, followed by a quieter, tactile painting period that redirects adrenaline into color and composition — a consecutive 20-minute smash then 30-minute splash format that pairs aggressive physicality with hands-on creativity.
