“10/10 experience at Slime Kitchen in South Lake Tahoe! Hailey and D’Angelo made our visit unforgettable. They were so friendly and thoughtful—and surprised us by making my baby a birthday cupcake slime and even sang to her 😭🧁💗 That extra touch meant everything. Amazing staff, amazing vibes, and such a fun place!”

“We stopped by Slime Kitchen in South Lake Tahoe during spring break, and it ended up being a perfect rainy-day activity for our group with teens. The concept is simple but really fun — you get to choose your slime colors and mix-ins, then sit at the little tables and make your own slime creation. The setup is casual and hands-on, which the teens loved. They spent a good chunk of time experimenting with colors and textures, and it was nice that they could just sit, play, and get creative without feeling rushed. It’s a great break from outdoor activities when the weather isn’t cooperating. If you’re visiting Tahoe with kids or teens, especially on a rainy or snowy day, this is a fun and different stop. Quick, creative, and something they’ll actually enjoy doing together.”

“Had so much fun making slime at the Slime Kitchen! Our helper Haleigh (not sure I am spelling her name right but it has a G in it!) was so so sweet and patient with the kids. She helped each one of them create a custom slime. From the type of slime, colors, scents, and textures. They all had a great time and she really enhanced the experience with her wonderful attitude! Would highly recommend for anybody in the area!”

“We had the best time celebrating a small birthday party at Slime Kitchen Lake Tahoe! Donna and Haleigh were fantastic—organized, patient, and so sweet with the kids. They kept everyone engaged with fun slime mixes and add‑ins, helped each child feel special, and somehow made the whole experience totally stress‑free for parents. The space was clean and well set up, cleanup was a breeze, and communication before and during the event was clear and friendly. The birthday kid is still talking about it. Highly recommend for a memorable, hands‑on party! 🎉”

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?

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.
