So let’s start with the basics: what is slime? Originally manufactured by Mattel and sold in a green plastic trash can in 1976, slime (or toy slime) was comprised of mainly guar gum and is a squishy and viscous ooze. I write these reviews to help fellow mommas research and select activities from the myriad offerings our lovely city presents. My review here, however, is not sponsored by the producers and should not be considered advertising. The operators were kind enough to provide complimentary admission so that my kids and I could check out the institute. You and your kids can find the Sloomoo (built from the word “slime” where you replace the vowels with “oo” to get your slime name so the name Ingrid becomes “Ingrood”) at 475 Broadway between Broome and Grand Streets. The result is what I think definitely deserves to be called “Fine Prime Time Slime.”

And it’s not just one or two collaborations that were tapped to make this multi-sensorial, multi-station museum of interactive slime. There is also an artistic and musical element that has been integrated with several of the installations and experiences. Imagine a playground filled with pedestals and vats of slime: blue slime and purple slime, yellow slime and green slime. The co-founders Karen and Sara of the Sloomoo Institute have assembled an excellent way to experience the joys of slime in fun and diverse new ways. In the world of slime, there is a new destination that has popped up in SoHo.
