Our private Slime Bar experience starts at $150 for up to 10 participants. Each additional participant is $10. For schools, churches, festivals, and other larger events, we offer custom quotes based on your event details. Additional travel or customization fees may apply.
How long does the Slime Bar experience take?
For a group of approximately 10 participants, please plan for 1 to 2 hours from our arrival to cleanup. Larger groups may need additional time. We'll discuss the schedule with you before confirming your booking.
How much space do you need for the Slime Bar?
Our Slime Bar cart measures approximately 2 ft by 4 ft. We'll also need enough room for our host and guests to move comfortably around the station. Please let us know about your available space when booking so we can plan accordingly.
Do you bring everything needed for the activity?
Yes! We bring the slime, scoops, scents, mix-ins, charms, take-home containers, and slime care kits. We also handle setting up and cleaning up our Slime Bar station. You'll just need to provide a suitable space for us to set up.
Can we choose the slime colors and theme?
Absolutely! We can customize our slime colors, mix-ins, and charms to match your event's theme. Let us know what you have in mind when submitting your booking request. Special customizations may require an additional fee.
Slime, Mess & Safety
Is your slime sticky?
Nope! As a mom, my biggest concern with slime has always been finding it stuck to clothes, hair, and furniture. We tested recipe after recipe until we came up with our own soft, stretchy, non-sticky slime that's fun to play with without the usual sticky, gross mess. While slime can change with temperature and handling, every participant receives a small bottle of activator and slime care instructions to help keep their slime in great condition.
Will the slime stick to clothes, hair, or furniture?
We know that's one of the biggest concerns parents have, and we totally get it. Our slime is specially made to be non-sticky, so you can enjoy the fun without worrying about the usual sticky mess. While we can't promise slime will never stick to anything, we've worked hard to create a recipe that's less likely to stick to hands, clothes, and hair during normal play. We recommend keeping slime away from carpets, upholstered furniture, and other delicate surfaces, just to be safe.
What if slime accidentally gets on clothes or furniture?
Don't panic! If slime accidentally gets on fabric, remove as much as possible before treating any remaining residue with a little white vinegar. Always test vinegar on a hidden area first, as some fabrics and surfaces may be damaged by it. We also provide slime care instructions to help you handle sticky situations at home.
Will my child make a mess while creating their slime?
That's the beauty of our Slime Bar! Our slime is already made, so there's no need to mix glue, activator, or other messy ingredients from scratch. Our Slime Bar host handles the scooping, while guests get to customize their creations with their favorite colors, scents, mix-ins, and charms. All the fun of making your own slime, without the mess of starting from scratch!
Do we have to add glitter, beads, and other mix-ins?
Not at all! Guests can customize their slime however they like. If you'd rather skip the glitter, beads, or other toppings, that's completely fine. You can keep your slime simple or load it up with your favorite mix-ins.
What ingredients are in your slime?
Our slime may contain ingredients such as glue, borax, contact lens solution, colorants, clay, shaving cream, fragrance, glycerin, soap, or lotion, depending on the recipe. We'll be happy to share ingredient information so you can decide whether our slime is suitable for you or your child.
Is your slime safe for sensitive skin?
Our slime is made using common slime-making ingredients, but everyone's skin is different. If you or your child have sensitive skin, allergies, or a history of reactions to slime ingredients, please review our ingredient list before participating. We recommend washing hands before and after playing with slime and stopping use if any redness, itching, or irritation occurs.
What if my child puts slime in their mouth?
Our slime is for sensory play only and is not edible. Some of our mix-ins and charms also contain small parts that may present a choking hazard. Slime should be kept away from the mouth, eyes, and face, and children should always be supervised by a responsible adult. If slime is swallowed, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 in the U.S. for guidance.
Taking Your Slime Home
Do guests get to take their slime home?
Of course! Every participant takes home their very own custom slime in a 10 oz plastic bucket with a lid and handle, along with slime care instructions and a small bottle of activator.
Can my child play with their slime without making a mess at home?
Absolutely! We recommend playing with slime on a clean, smooth surface, such as a table or tray. Keep slime away from carpets, bedding, upholstered furniture, and other surfaces that may be difficult to clean. When you're done playing, simply put your slime back into its container and close the lid tightly.
Will the slime dry out or become sticky after a few days?
Slime can change over time depending on how it's stored, handled, and exposed to heat. That's why every participant receives a reusable container with a lid, slime care instructions, and a small bottle of activator. With proper care, your slime can stay soft, stretchy, and fun to play with!
What if my slime becomes sticky after I take it home?
No worries! Slime can become sticky over time, especially when exposed to heat or handled for long periods. Every participant receives a small bottle of activator and slime care instructions. If your slime becomes sticky, add a small amount of activator at a time and work it into your slime until it reaches your preferred texture.
