Be sure to call ahead. They let you paint a layer of paint and you become the world record holder until the next person comes in to paint. You can sign the wall and get a certificate. Its fabulous. They have a donation jar for you to donate any amount you'd like.

We painted coat #25,286 and this was so much fun. The lady who was there was extremely nice and answered all of the questions we asked. It was very interesting to hear of all the different countries that people have come from, and about the celebrities who have also come and painted this ball.
