Thank you for being in Truckee!”

Today is about more than awareness — it’s about understanding, advocating, and truly including. πŸ’™ Autism Awareness Day reminds us that every mind works differently, and that difference is something to be celebrated, supported, and embraced — not just today, but every day. At Slime Kitchen, we believe in creating a space where everyone can feel safe, creative, and free to express themselves through sensory play. To show our support, we’re gifting a πŸ’™ Autism Awareness bracelet πŸ’™ with any DIY slime purchase (while stocks last), and we’ve brought in new blue textures to honor the color of autism inclusion. Come create, connect, and celebrate with us πŸ’™ #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance #InclusionMatters #SensoryPlay #SlimeKitchen CreateAndConnect

We made our own snowman… in slime form! Since Mother Nature hasn’t delivered much snow yet, we decided to make our own while we keep doing our snow dances and hoping for a few more powder days before the ski season ends. ❄️ If you’re looking for a fun indoor activity while we wait for snow, come get creative with us at Slime Kitchen Truckee or South Lake Tahoe. Mix, stretch, swirl, and make your own slime masterpiece. Perfect for kids, teens, and anyone who just loves a little messy fun. #SlimeKitchen #TruckeeKids #TruckeeTahoe #IndoorFun #TahoeKids CreativePlay SlimeTime TruckeeLife TahoeWinter FamilyFun

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

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.
