Visited for my daughter's 4th birthday with my husband. Our first time here and we really liked it. Thought there would be more to it but it was good overall. We got to make our own slime which was cool; you pick the texture, scent and color as well as licking 3 charms. My husband noticed that there was a basement area but he was told that they're working on it and is closed. They also have a slime waterfall, you get ponchos put on, shoes and socks off and get slimed. We did it for our daughter and she loved it. Towards the end, there's a small play area where kids can walk through some slime and play with oversized squishies. You can finish the whole thing in about 20 minutes or so unless your kid likes to constantly play with slime or likes the small play area.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Perfect for slime-obsessed kids who love messy, tactile experiences - the custom slime making and slime waterfall are big hits. Best for families willing to spend $50+ per person for a short but memorable experience. Consider weekdays for smaller crowds and bring clothes you don't mind getting messy.

⏰Budget $50+ per person including adults who must pay full price

β€œThis was a pretty awesome experience overall as my kids love slime and they love making a mess. You need to buy tickets in advance. Lots of different slime textures, colors, and smells to play with and explore. They have a music room that requires you to move around the slime to add different instruments and beats which my son loved. There is a wall of smells in which you can choose the scent for your custom slime. You pick the texture and smell, then pick your color, then add 3 charms to your slime. Of course my girls also wanted to get slimed. Being the last sliming of the day, the awesome employees of Sloomoo didn’t save any slime for tomorrow. The sliming seemed nonstop. The girls had a blast and it was a great way to cap off the visit. The employees at Sloomoo were all so friendly and had a genuine excitement for where they worked and you could see it. Highly recommend Sloomoo.”

β€œSurprise my daughter with a visit ! Tickets were affordable but do not buy yourself unless you want to make slime. The exhibit was wonderful, lots of colors, lots of hands on activities, VERY CLEAN as well loved that the most I think :) , and the staff were so friendly. We are from CT and I even asked staff for local food suggestions which were not a disappointment. We will come visit again! Weekday was a good pick for us to come visit.”
