Sloomoo Institute is a place where getting your hands messy is half the fun. Guests make their way through a playful series of sensory spaces, feeling slime in all its stretchy, squishy forms and discovering new surprises along the way. There's space to be energetic and space to unwind, and the self-guided pace means no one ever has to rush.

At the end, every guest creates a slime that is all their own, with endless ways to make it unique. It's a feel-good gift for birthdays, family outings or anyone in the DC area who loves a bit of sensory fun.

No refunds are allowed once the experience is booked, but you can reschedule up to 4 hours before your experience.
