Adult Build Nights

A fun, adults-only social night — separate girls' and boys' nights for moms, dads and all grown-ups. Build a guided project to take home, use our tools, and enjoy charcuterie and sparkling water on us. Bring your own refreshments if you'd like. No experience needed.

Inside the Forge workshop — workbenches, tool storage, and machines in the Santa Monica space.

Adults only — no kids, please. Looking for a night with the kids? Come to a Free Family Build Night.

Your turn to build

Your kids get to build here every week. Now it's your turn — with friends, our tools, and our instructors showing you how.

Build something real

Our instructors walk you through a guided project from start to finish, using the tools your kids use here — and you take it home. No experience needed, and we keep the project a surprise until the night.

Separate girls' and boys' nights

Girls Night is for the moms and all women. Boys Night is for the dads and all men. Leave the kids at home, adults only. Come with friends or meet other Forge parents over a project.

Snacks and sparkling water, on us

We put out a charcuterie board and sparkling water for everyone — and you're welcome to bring your own refreshments if you'd like something more.

Questions

Do I need any experience?

None at all. Our instructors show you every step and every tool.

What will we build?

A guided project you get to take home. We keep the details a surprise — just know you'll make something real with our tools.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes! Add them when you book — each extra guest is a lower price in the same checkout. We'll email them a link to finish their account and sign our waiver before the night.

Do I have to have kids?

Not at all. Girls Night is for the moms and all women; Boys Night is for the dads and all men — everyone's welcome, whether or not you have kids.

Is food provided?

Yes — we put out a charcuterie board and sparkling water for everyone. You're welcome to bring your own refreshments too if you'd like something more.

Can I bring my kids?

No — this is an adults-only night, so please leave the kids at home. (Our Free Family Build Nights are the ones for the whole family.) Girls Night is for the moms and all women, and Boys Night is for the dads and all men.

What if I can't make it?

You can cancel your tickets in your Forge parent portal until 7 days before the event for a refund, less a 3% card processing fee.
