FAQ
Is parking free?
Yes, parking is free. The parking lot entrance is just beyond the History Park pedestrian entrance.
How many people can I bring to a team building event?
It depends. We've had small team building events with five people, and very large ones with nearly 40.
Send us a team building inquiry to see how we might fit you in!
Can kids blow glass?
Yes! Our Glass Experience Classes are open to ages 8 and up in the Hotshop and Flat Shop, and ages 12 and up in the Flame Shop.
During the summer, we host youth glass camps that are perfect for kids to get creative with a mysterious and diverse medium!
Ages range from 8—16.
Do I need to sign a waiver?
If you're planning a visit to BAGI via one of our glass experiences, studio classes, team building event, or anything else, you need to sign our liability waiver here.
I think I'm here...but I can't find BAGI!
Look around...what do you see?
If you're in a really big parking lot that's at the bottom of a hill, you're in the wrong parking lot. Drive back up the hill—we'll be the first gated entrance on your right. Call us for the gate code.
If you see a lot of historical houses, a train, or picnic tables, you're probably walking around History Park. Look up and find the big light tower, and walk towards it until you're right under it. You'll notice a fence that opens up to a parking lot—that's the BAGI parking lot! The entrance is right there, come on in!
