I took my daughter there the other day and she had an amazing time. A girl named Dayana helped us out and she was so sweet and really good with my daughter :) definitely recommend read more

We had our daughter's fifth birthday here and everyone had a blast! The owner set up everything perfectly for us. We used their catering option and loved not having to worry about food or setup. All the parents were impressed with the whole experience. Such a unique birthday! We have also gone on a non-birthday day and my daughters had so much fun. The employees were attentive and helpful. read more

Mariana was so patience with our daughter. She knew exactly what color she was trying to get to on just the first try. She gave her independence but also guided her throughout the way ! Great experience! read more

Ehhhhhh. Unfortunately my service here wasn't as I hoped for. There organization could be improved on, like station numbers, where the kids go first and second and so fourth. The staff was not attendant to my needs for my child or the other children. The staff looked like teenagers or early 20's who kept walking to the back of the establishment. I came here to surprise my little one with slime. The idea of this place sounded amazing, I mean me and my kid make slime at home all the time, this removes the trouble of purchasing all the products and setting an area for her to create and play then for me to clean. So overall I was up for the whole activity idea. When we arrived. I let my kid walk around and check out the area. Even I, myself was confused on where to start looking, I could see other parents waiting around so I asked a staff member the pricing and she pointed in a direction and walked away. After some time a kind man came up to us and helped pair us with a lady who was rude, which by the way made the experience awkward. My kid felt the energy too and she was asking me to tell the lady what she wanted. So after that she goes and puts the slime into the blender and walks away. My kid is obviously too small to see over the blender and I asked her for a stepping box, and she just walked away, I had to find it under the table and pull it out for my kid. At this point I am already getting frustrated with the service I was receiving. Next the lady told my kid to sit down and didn't direct her to any seat, my kid sat and played with the slime to her comfort then she wanted some of the extra accessories you can add on. When I asked the women she told me they can only take 3, but I saw other children grabbing multiple ones and putting it in their slime. I didn't mention it but I just told my kid to listen to her. In the end I paid a ridiculous amount for the slime, with the service I got. I think next time I'll go to Valleyfair in SJ and check out the service there, if it doesn't work I rather continue to make slime at home. I hope this place can fix its issues, the idea of this sounded amazing and I was planning on throwing my kids party here, but I now am having second thoughts and rather go elsewhere. read more

Shelby and Avery were great! They were super fast, friendly and patient with assisting our 4 year old. Can't wait to come back! They made our experience enjoyable. read more

Save yourself a lot of hassle and just buy slime at target. The gal who sold us the slime didn't say anything about us needing to activate it before using it. My son was dying to use it so we opened it at the food court and it was soooo sticky and stringy. It took us 20 mins to clean up our table and get it off our hands/table. We took it back to the slime store and asked why it was so stringy and she was like "oh you need to add this" and handed us a packet of borax. You need to use a lot to get the consistency right which is a little scary because you're not supposed to put borax on your skin although you do dilute it in water. Save yourself the hassle and the mess, seriously not worth it. Not sure if their mix isn't right or this is just to be expected for homemade slime. Either way spending $15 to clean up a huge mess isn't worth it. read more

Planned a birthday party here and it was a very good experience. Called the store for details and they walked me through it all instead of just directing me to their website. Once I had the details I booked online to reserved the time, the store confirmed and told me I need to provide a headcount a week prior, and we were all set! Anytime I had a question, I'd send an email and it was answered timely. For example, had a question at 9:45 pm and they responded in 15 minutes! On the day of the party we had the whole store and when people walked in, the staff was kind to explain that we had a party going on and the store is closed. The reasons I knocked off a star were 1. the package said there were games and there were no games. The kids sat bored sometimes when it wasn't their turn in the slime process. There are only 5 mixers so for a bigger party kids will be sitting around. 2. The staff did not make sure we got pictures of the birthday child after they sang happy birthday. Which was too bad since it's not a moment we can recreate. All in all, still a good experience and I would do another party here but maybe just more thorough in my planning of the time there and not rely on staff. read more

Others reviews have said "not inexpensive" which is putting it mildly. This is $25 slime! There is NO pricing by the cashier. There is one little sign across the store that gives pricing. $25 per person per pot of slime. I get that you are paying for the experience but like others here, we did not have good customer service which is "ironic" bc when you pay such a high price for a fad. read more

Good idea, good concept Unfortunately terrible staff, rude, they clearly don't know how to deal with children or parents. Rude teens that are not Into it! Disorganized and very pricey. Save your self a bad experience. The owner should really interview staff that wants to truly work here and maybe come in to see what's going on. Again great concept Terrible experience. Won't come back read more

Samantha was so helpful and amazing. The kids were so comfortable with her when making the slime. We come at least 2 times a month and the girls continue to recognize her and enjoy her time helping us. read more

Super friendly customer service and they take you step by step on making your own slime the way you like it. Asher was super helpful and made the experience super fun for my little one. read more

Fun experience for kids. Lots of colors, scents, and beads to choose from. They have the process down!

Very expansive for just playing with the slime and some toppings. Heads-up it is nust playing with the slime, no project or any thing special . You child is given a cup worth of slime that the verbaly choose the color, the scent and they just play with it for a few minutes then they pick toppings. They do not participate in making it or putting it in the mixture is all made by the store representative. We were charged $28 for 20 minutes. Anyway the 2 stars review is not for the price alone, but for customer service. We were waiting for almost 10 minutes and the person behind the counter didn't even acknowledge us or greet us. We actually were looking right at him. The kids were jumping excited but he was just on the tablet or computer. Then we had to walk to the counter and talk to him and ask him if he is open or ready and if we can start. read more

My girls had fun making slime with different toppings. Making best use of the summer break time.

Expensive and over price for the experience. Just go get slime from target or Amazon.

What a fun experience! Carson was a great guide. Tons of options and so interactive. Wasn't too crazy on a weekend and I highly recommend trying it out. read more

Very interactive and fun. Employees are considerate. Very friendly and all willing to help A great place for kids! read more

My daughter spent an hour getting her hands dirty and making smile at the slime kitchen, she loved it! The staffs were incredibly friendly and helpful, they have great materials- different slime bases for kids to choose from, scent, colors, various materials like foam, fake snow, tiny rainbows, bows etc for them to add into the slime. My daughter had so much fun and it was a great way to spend time doing something and learning something new at the same time. It was incredible. They also have finished products that you can buy or materials (eg. activator) to take home to more make slime. I saw some parents bought some back so that the fun can continue at home! Highly recommended. read more

Finally! A place to bring the kids where they can be creative, have fun, and not to mention, be preoccupied! My kids love this place. They can choose the type of slime, the scent, the color, and add whatever little decorations they want into the slime. They have a great variety to choose from. They also have a wide assortment of ready made slime to choose from. Perfect to give as gifts to my children's friends and my nieces and nephews. The staff are friendly and helpful as well as the owners who know everything about slime. I reserved my daughter's birthday party right away because I heard they get booked quickly. This place is perfect because bouncy house parties and indoor playgrounds are getting boring. Such a cool place! read more

Very friendly staff and great selection of slime! Need to come back to get more or even plan on booking a party.

Staff are absolutely miserable and just mean spirited. My child loves this place but after yesterday's experience we'll be looking elsewhere. read more

Fun afternoon experience for my 8 year old son. Carson was very personable and it was nice to have the place to ourselves. My son had so much fun and he really enjoyed the tactile component and sense of accomplishment of making his own slime. Location is very clean and a nice setup. I will consider this as a future party. read more

Great place for kids !! My daughter had so much fun making slime. We highly recommend Slime Kitchen! read more

2nd time that I've visited this business with my daughter and wife. My daughter loves playing with slime and found it very fun to choose her own slime texture, color, scents and decorations. The guy who helped us last time and the girl who helped us this time were both very patient and positive, which added to my daughter's enjoyment. Note, it can become busy at times but be patient as the staff is trying to do their best in managing multiple families at the same time. read more

Halle was the best! Kiddo loved it! Great place to spend an afternoon. Selection was great!

I brought my 8 year old here and she had a blast. It's not the same slime experience as home. They have tens of scents and different types of slime to choose from. Definitely something I can't provide at home for her. It was an hr well spent on a Saturday. The staff Annalise and Halle were friendly and helpful, communicated directly with my daughter like an instructor/teacher. She enjoyed the experience and will ask to be back here I know. read more

Awesome time! Kids had a great time. Will definetly come back and do it again!! Perfect weekend activity

Super fun!! The staffs are friendly and patient. You can pick different slime types, colors, pigments, toppers.. so many variety!! Great to bring kids or your girlfriend over!! read more

What a great experience! And not just a toy! Great warm and friendly staff. Huge selection of mediums and additions!

Manager Carson assisted us today, our first time here and he was wonderful! Acknowledged us right away and assisted us throughout the slime making. He is very kid friendly and my daughter really enjoyed her time!!! read more

enjoyed our experience here with my 2 year old. It's pretty straight forward... pick a base, fix-ins and get to mixing! The staff will help with the process for any newbees. I recommend the "butter base" for kids younger than 5 since it's less messy! One thing to note is that some of the additions (glitter or sprinkles or others) can come out of the slime later on and if your little one is like mine, they might decide to try to eat it so keep a close eye on your little ones while they play. Also, highly recommend making an appointment online in advance because sometimes they have private parties and if you just show up, they might not allow you to make slime at that time. Lastly, the $25 pp fee is only for those making slime (so parents or babies are essentially free). read more

Great place for kids to play! My daughter loves making slime here with friends and by herself.

We had my daughter's 9 year birthday at the Slime Kitchen and all I can say is it was wonderful! I was a bit worried as the kids were a lot older ranging from 7-11 year olds and if this would be too kiddie for them. But it was quite the opposite. All the kids had a blast and really enjoyed creating and playing with the slime. The staff were very helpful, patient and so obliging. We also got food ordered via the Slime Kitchen which made the planning a lot easier. I got several kids say this was the 'best party ever' which meant they all had a great time! Overall, this was something different, unique and glad to say it was very much enjoyed by the kids and parents had a good time shopping! read more

Our daughter had so much fun creating her own slime! Staff are so friendly and great with kids.

Fun for kids , with a lot flavors and decors to choose from. Clear texture with blue color works great for boys

Loved it! The workers were awesome!!! Definitely gonna come back soon! We LOVED it here!!!

We stopped by yesterday for our daughters birthday, and she LOVED the experience! The employee pictured here offered her the independence that she craves. She was asked to try the different feelings of the slime, and she chose the least sticky one. Next she was asked about color, where she said pink. The employee helped her start the mixing, and double checked with her that it was pink enough, which of course it wasn't! He was happy to give her more color to make it darker. What stood out to me is the respect of decisions that he allowed her, including letting her put in her own sent. My daughter got some time to play with her slime before I had to get his attention again to continue the process. I think this is where the business as a whole could improve. Instead of parents having to pull aside the employee, ideally there would be a check in to see if the child was ready for the next step. Maybe there could be re-usable score cards for employees to easily know what step each child is on? This happened again when it was time to add the gems/jewels as well as when it was time to add the toppings. Overall it was a very fun (and quite expensive) activity. We look forward to coming back another time! read more

Slime Kitchen - Mixing the slime - Art Classes Near Me - San Mateo, California

Great experience! We had a great time and the kids truly enjoyed it. Thank you slime kitchen

I bought a jar of slime for my granddaughter and it was a real disaster. The slime was too sticky, gooey, messy and unusable. It made a mess of our hands, our clothes and everything we touched. My granddaughter was in tears. I tried to return it to the store, but they would not give me a refund. This product should be taken off the market and the fact that I could not get a refund is inexcusable. Poor quality products, poor quality customer service. My advice: stay away from this store. Spend your money somewhere else. read more
