⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely incredible time at the Sloomoo Institute! I brought my youngest and she was fully engaged from start to finish β€” and honestly, I had just as much fun watching her explore. From making and stretching slime, to walking barefoot through textured slime floors, to interactive sensory stations and colorful slime walls, every room felt thoughtfully designed for kids to learn through play. I especially loved how hands-on everything was β€” kids aren’t just watching, they’re doing, experimenting, and creating. The mix of creativity, sensory play, and light science made it feel both fun and enriching. Everything was clean, well-organized, and welcoming, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience together. This is such a unique place for kids to express themselves and burn off energy in the best way. We’ll definitely be back β€” this was a core memory kind of day. 🌟 Employee Shout-Out for Tanner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A huge thank you to Tanner, who helped us during our visit. He was patient, kind, and incredibly engaging with my child. He explained things in a way that made her feel confident and excited, and he genuinely took the time to make sure she was having fun. That kind of care and attentiveness makes a big difference, especially in a kid-centered space. Tanner truly elevated our experience β€” thank you for making the day even more special!

β€œβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈ Sloomoo Institute is amazing! I took my 6-year-old son, who is autistic, and he absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a bright, fun, and welcoming space. The staff were kind and patient, and every room was so creative and interactive. My son especially enjoyed the slime stations and sensory activities β€” it was the perfect mix of fun and calming for him. As a parent, it meant so much to see him fully engaged, smiling, and exploring without feeling overwhelmed. It’s such a unique experience that’s enjoyable for both kids and adults. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for families, especially those with kids who thrive in sensory-friendly environments!”

β€œFirst off if you have a toddler age 2 in up, THIS IS THE SPOT!!!! We had such an amazing experience here I don't know where to begin. All staff were extremely friendly, helpful, caring & compassionate with there guests. Not only that but you also get to make a free slime per each ticket you purchase which we didn't know until halfway into the slime maze. I absolutely will be coming back here to take my daughter and family. Thank you Sloomoo for making our L.A trip better.”

β€œI visited with my kids during a trip to LA (ages 4 and 2) and they LOVED it! The first part of the experience is just playing with slime to learn about various textures. They loved the kinetic sand station then rounded out the trio making their own slime (you pick a scent and color and texture + three charms). Such a fun experience!”
