“We recently celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Slime Kitchen, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed so warmly and genuinely — the team made us feel right at home. The experience itself was so much fun. The kids got to choose the texture of their slime, customize the color, and add glitter and all kinds of decorations. It was creative, hands-on, and perfectly organized. Everything was clearly explained and thoughtfully set up, so the kids could just enjoy the process. My daughter was beyond excited — she hasn’t stopped talking about it since! It was such a unique and joyful way to celebrate her special day. Highly recommend Slime Kitchen for an unforgettable birthday experience!”

“Ahado was incredibly kind and patient while assisting our group of five kids. She made the entire experience fun and memorable, going above and beyond with her friendliness and positive attitude. Thanks to her, our visit was even more enjoyable than just making slime. Employees like Ahado truly deserve to be recognized and celebrated!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are parties?

Parties will last for 1.5 hours.

Are parties private?

We cannot close the store during regular mall hours unless we’ve reached our maximum capacity. For those interested in exclusive access, we do offer private events with a full store buyout option. Please email your store of choice directly for more information on full buyouts.

What activities and entertainment do you provide during the party experience?

Your party experience includes a hands-on session where everyone creates their own custom slime using our ten step customization process. We’ll entertain the group with lively slime-themed games before concluding with a special slime cupcake and celebratory song for the birthday child.

Do you offer catering?

We no longer offer catering in our locations. However, most of our locations are located near plenty of resteraunts and If you’d like to bring food there is a $100 charge.

Can I bring my own food?

You may bring a cupcake and drink per child at no extra cost.

If you choose to bring your own food, please note the following:

1. A $100 fee applies, which covers cleanup and an extra 20 minutes added to your party.
2. You must bring your own serving supplies and supervise the children while they eat.
3. A release of liability must be signed.

Can parents stay during the party?

The birthday child’s parents are welcome to stay and take photos. Our stores are designed with kids in mind and have limited space. To ensure a fun and focused experience, we kindly ask parents to wait outside for their children so they have room to create and can hear instructions clearly.

What is the age range for a party?

Our parties are recommended for children ages 5 and up, as they are longer than our standard DIY sessions and are designed to be drop-off events.

What is the max or min for a party?

A minimum of 10 guests is required to book a party. The maximum number of guests varies by location, so please check with your specific location for details.

Do I have to pay if people don't show up?

Yes, you’ll still be charged based on the final headcount confirmed the week of the party.

What is the cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change! You may cancel your party **up to 3 weeks in advance** for a full refund of your deposit. We require this notice because weekend parties often have a waiting list, and it gives us time to fill your spot.

Additional Fees

For parties with more than 12 guests, a 15%-25% gratuity is highly encouraged to show your Slime Chef some love! Our hosts work hard to make your party special, and tips go directly to them in appreciation.
