Sloomoo Institute - Los Angeles - Los Angeles, California

La experiencia es super divertida para los niños y adultos también. Es un recorrido libre en el que vas pasando por diferentes áreas y en cada una estás el tiempo que quieras. Estuvimos casi 2 horas. Todo el personal fue muy amable y no nos apuraron en ningún momento. Podés armar tu propio slime eligiendo entre diferentes texturas, colores y aromas. También hay un sector para pisar slime descalzo. Toda una experiencia sensorial.
La entrada es muy costosa, en nuestro caso fue un regalo navideño. Recomiendo buscar los horarios más económicos. Mis hijos querían volver al día siguiente, pero ya saben que fue una vez en la vida 🙂

Great experience. I learned more about slime than I thought I knew. Very cool, helpful and knowledgeable staff. I even met the HR manager who asked about our experience. Really cool how much time they dedicated towards each visitor. I suggest checking the website for advanced tickets and prices because the prices do vary depending on time.

An amazing place for family fun! It was so satisfying to play with so many slime without making mess 😀. The slime shower definitely needs to try. A pair of shoes easy to take off are recommended

Birthday surprise for the kiddos. They had an amazing time!!! Also I just want to point out how kind and amazing the workers are. They really did a good job with the hiring team because they were all beyond nice. Everyone seriously was so kind and went out of their way to make every kid feel so special. Getting slimed, the kiddos loved it. Making your own slime, playing with so many kinds of slime. And the gift shop. All amazing. Super easy to get to as well. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this experience. I am going to be honest by saying that I am very picky & Customer service is very important to me. This place checked every box! The experience was out of this world for my little girls! I would highly recommend this place for everyone! Young, Older, honestly all ages.

This was an INCREDIBLY immersive and fun experience - FOR ADULTS TOO! Not just for kids!!!!

As a huuuuge slimehead (for lack of better word), I was SO excited to be in a world of slime. I loved the variety of interactive slime-related activities, and of course, the many vats of deliciously scented slime. Just the quantity in each vat was an experience to behold! Despite it being a communal high-touch activity, things were surprisingly clean. There were hand wipes available everywhere, and we were asked to wash our hands before and after touching slime. It wasn't strictly enforced, but I think it definitely made a difference in maintaining the quality and cleanliness of the experience.

My favorite part was making our own slime. I LOVE that leading up to the DIY slime, you were already exposed to the many different types of slime. They have a sample section right before you enter the DIY lab, so that you can feel and experience all the types before choosing which one you want to make your own. They're all so different and unique!! My favorite was definitely the thick and glossy.

The gift shop was SO FUN. I just wish fancy slime weren't so expensive. And I wish there were a bit more samples around in the gift shop, because there was a bunch of types of slime that wasn't present during the experience. Like Jelly cubes for example!

Regardless, it was such a fun experience, and I loved getting to bring home my little slime. It is clearly made with high quality materials and you can just tell it'll hold for a long time.

Since this exhibit is across the Grove, parking is gonna be a toughy. It's really hit or miss, but if you don't mind a little walking, there is metered street parking all around the area.

I went on a Sunday morning (9:30am time slot) and it wasn't too crowded. Overall, my niece and nephew loved the experience particularly the chance to feel all the different types of slime throughout the Sloomoo Institute. I parked at Short Stories Hotel for a valet service and had my parking validated at the shop. It was one of the parking options mentioned on the website and it costs $10 +tip.

The Pros: I think every adult is grateful to have had sanitizing wipes available to them throughout the Institute. I meant to bring my own but completely forgot so I was really appreciative.We had the most fun with the slime slingshot and DIY slime bar. The kiddos really loved the interactiveness with choosing their own scent with their token, choosing their slime color, and then mixing their slime on the tables. Finally, every employee I encountered was so helpful and kind. Truly, no bad interaction with them.

Cons: Probably the most obvious, the tickets were unnecessarily expensive. I felt that Sloomoo Institute could just have easily made a profit if tickets were 30% less than what they are selling for. I did not purchase the extra cost in order to do the slime wall for this very reason, which would have been fun and I would have been happy to purchase the extra ticket for the slime wall if the Sloomoo Institute tickets themselves were not so expensive. Additionally, I found it ridiculous that the website offered 10% discounts on shop purchases ONLINE rather than on tickets or at the physical shop at Sloomoo. There could have been opportunities to provide discounts to teachers, or local schools purchasing group tickets. I don't think I could recommend the Sloomoo Institute without also mentioning the high prices, which I already warned friends about.

Very much overpriced for what was offered. The child ticket ended up costing me the same as the adult one so not really sure why there was a need to separate them online. I understand it included a slime but still not worth it in my opinion. The place definitely needs a deep clean and a new way to smell the scents to choose from I didn’t enjoy putting my nose so close to where everyone else does. The women’s restroom was out of order we got sent upstairs which is fine for the moment but at least keep it clean and stocked? The only reason I give it two stars is because of the employees. Each one we encountered was very polite. And if the space is too small to add more activities at least add more photo props and make the create your own slime more fun.
