The Buzz: Bowfish Studios
Bowfish Studios is an imaginative kid's studio dedicated to crafting immersive, transformative makeover experiences that bring fantasy to life.
What started as a seaside enchantment quickly grew into a full-fledged imaginative experience—welcoming mermaids, unicorns, fairies, dragons, and even sharks into a world where creativity and magic take center stage!
"At Bowfish Studios, every child gets to step into their own Imagination adventure."
Whether it’s through one-on-one appointments, private birthday parties, or special events, we bring imagination to life in a way that’s fun, interactive, and unforgettable. No matter how you choose to experience Bowfish Studios, one thing is certain ...
"..there’s always a little imagination waiting for you!"
The magic truly began the same year Bowfish Kids launched, when our owner, Caitlin Quirk, started transforming little dreamers into mermaids during her summer vacations in Ocean City, New Jersey.
Established in 2017
Bowfish Studios was created as an extension of our beloved retail store, Bowfish Kids, which first opened its doors in 2013.
