Slick City on Thunderbird Rd in Glendale is now one of my favorite places to show off to friends and visitors. Among all the different slides there is something for everyone from 6 (my grandkid) to 76 (me)! Although they are all fun, my favorite slide is the Python, followed by the Royal Flush. But I recommend you try all the slides! This is a great place for birthday parties, there's a cafe and lots of tables overlooking the playing floor. There is also a special area with toddler-size activities. One thing I especially like about Slick City is that through the adventure of slides, it teaches children self confidence and helps give them the courage to overcome fear in a healthy environment. Granddaughter (7 yrs) climbed up to the top of one of the tallest slides, only to start crying from fear and then she'd climb back down. 15 minutes later she'd go up again, only to come down, defeated by her fear. She kept it up (learning determination) until she finally found the courage to slide down from the top. The smile on her now self-confident face was priceless. She had conquered her fear! She went back and rode that slide again at least 10 times. The place is pricey but well worth it. Note: you must purchase a pair of their special traction socks in the slide areas. They do not allow any other brand, so save yours for subsequent trips. read more

This is a tricky review to say fully yes or fully no to for recommending to others. I'll elaborate. We went to Slick City with our three kids (17, 16, and 12) as part of our GetOut pass 2025. We had the 60 minute play pass. The concept is basically waterless water slides and indoors. Like any action park, you are required to sign waivers before purchasing your ticket and Slick City requires you to buy their grippy socks; you are not allowed to wear grippy socks from anywhere else. Ok, fine, annoying but it's part of the experience. The pricing was in line with other action parks for their 60, 90, and 120 play passes. You get a colored wristband based on the time slot you bought and they call it over the loud speaker when your time is done. There are plenty of slides and varying degrees of thrill, speed, and height; same as a water park. The slides are objectively cool. Where these slides differ is that you are required to go head first on your stomach down every single slide on a mat. Now, for some, this is no big deal. We saw plenty of people not even give it a second thought. On the contrary, we saw a lot of people (mainly smaller kids) climb to the top, lay down, and panic. Were there attendants at the top to ensure people went the right way down? No. Were there attendants to make sure everyone got down okay, weren't injured? Also no. That was concerning for me because we saw some kids get hurt from the way they were either riding, landing, or getting crashed into or dog piled on. Normally at action parks, there are attendants everywhere to keep it safe, but there were none in sight on any slide. There was an attendant at the swing and handlebars, but that was only to be able to pull the swing back from over the pit. We saw lots of skinned of knees and elbows, a busted chin or a nosebleed, and what appeared to someone with a chipped tooth after they didn't raise their head up enough and went face first into the bottom of the slide. We saw a kid get absolutely pancaked on one of the launch slides when someone didn't wait for the last person to go and came down, flew right on top of him. It might just be part of the fun but it felt a little unnerving compared to what we're used to places like this. I am not a helicopter mom by any means either and think sometimes it's overkill with the safety officers, but it felt like there should've been a least a few around the actual slides. Our kids made it out unscathed, so it was all five stars for them this time around. Sweaty, but not injured in anyway. There is also a little gated in play area for little kids, and you can pay for just that area if they meet the age requirements. Any spectator has to be issued a special spectator wristband also. There is a little food court and lots of seating and a party rental space for large groups or events. The bathrooms are centralized but needed definitely attention. There was water and toilet paper all over the floor each time I went in. The soap dispenser was also wonky; if you didn't push the right pressure point, it all came out the top of the dispenser and went all over the place. read more

Slick City Action Park - Slides - Amusement Parks Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

We LOVE Slick City! Every time we go the staff is very friendly and supportive. And honestly that is the p The plus because you. Annoy beat what they had to offer. The slides are creative and fun, the basketball court is well kept and functioning. Overall the entire facility is clean, fun and a happy place to be. read more

Slick city was fun!! It was a bit too crazy for our almost 5 year old, but our 7 year old had a blast. The only thing I took a star from was the fact that they MAKE you buy Slick City socks. And they aren't any different from other indoor play park socks. The slides are super fun for all ages (above 6 I'd say), but there is a limited play area for 5 & under. read more

I love this place it is great for kids and birthday parties. It even has arcade games which are super fun.

I visited Slick City with a group of around 15 young girls last month. We had an overall good experience. Unfortunately, a few of them were too scared to try the slides or only tried them once and then wouldn't go again. They said going head first down the slides is what scared them the most. Those girls then played at the basketball court area or the trapeze and swing area. The girls who did go on the slides loved it! They went on them over and over again for 2 hours and had a blast! The facility was very clean and well maintained. The indoor and AC aspects are especially nice in the AZ summer. The staff was helpful but it would've been better to have more of them. We were assigned a party host but hardly saw them. And when we went to the desk to check-in members of our party that arrived later, it was difficult to get someone's attention and our party host was too busy with another much larger group to help us again. Also, something was wrong with the waivers. I received confirmation that everyone in our party had completed their waivers prior to the day of the party, but the employees had difficulty locating a couple of them. We eventually either figured it out or had the parent fill out another waiver in person but it was stressful. I would recommend having a conversation with your kids about going head first down slides before committing to going here. read more

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. From the moment I interacted with staff, I felt disrespected and unwelcome. One employee, a woman with short curly hair, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. I felt she was aggressive toward me, and I left the interaction feeling upset and humiliated. When I brought my concerns forward, I was extremely disappointed with how management, including GM Angelina, handled the situation. Instead of addressing the problem, I felt my concerns were dismissed. I would not recommend this indoor slide park based on the way I was treated. read more

If you're in Arizona, with kids, you HAVE to check out Slick City Action Park! We just went and had the absolute best time. It's genuinely fun for everyone - my little ones, the teenagers, and even me who's still a big kid at heart. We spent a few hours on those slides (seriously, they're epic!). And obviously, we hit up the snack bar for $7 Slurpees and munchies, pretzel/fries combo was around $12 with drink, plus we squeezed in some basketball. Big win: the A/C was cranking (crucial in Arizona!), Oh, and here's the kicker: we went on a Thursday and it was buy one get one free tickets! I found that deal on IG, it wasn't advertised elsewhere so pays to follow them @slickcityactionpark For an indoor spot to let loose, for a few hours, this place is top-notch. read more

1st time visiting, its ridiculous the company policy is you must purchase their socks. This the 1st jump/ play park to demand you buy theirs. I will go back to the other places I already have socks for especially for these high prices! read more

Really fun place overall but check in took 15 minutes. we booked for 1pm and didn't get full checked in until past 1:15 so we lost time that we paid for. also the lady who checked us in (pretty sure her name was mariah) was the least pleasant person i've come across. acted like we were an inconvenience to her when we were all being perfectly nice. was good other than her, not sure why she is the first person you meet when she can't even be cordial to guests. the lady who served our food though, wore a yellow shirt, was super nice though so she saved it read more

This place upset me for multiple reasons. 1) They do not tell you that you can purchase a 60 minute time block (for less $ than displayed options on kiosk) until after you have purchased one of the promoted time blocks (minimum shown is 90 minutes). 2) We brought our own grip socks (we have plenty from Round 1, Uptown Jungle, Party Jungle, etc.), but we were told we could not use any competitor's socks. We had to pay $4.99 per participant EXTRA for Slick City's own "City Socks." What a horrible policy ... just to make a few extra bucks off of each participant. 3) Nobody tells you that every single slide is head first until you have paid your admission/signed the waiver. Some in our party were extremely intimidated by even the idea of this, and would not have chosen to participate. 4) Though we know there is an inherent risk of injury, we assumed the risk would be minimal, and injury a rarity. However, my younger child scraped his elbow on the very first slide he tried, & he was afraid to do anything more scary, increasingly treacherous, or the like. My older son also scraped his elbow shortly into our visit. We left after a little less than an hour. 5) You either need to pay a minimum of $6 for a small locker (more if you want it for an extended period of time), or you need to just hope nobody steals your belongings setting them on or near a random bench. There are some tables, but it didn't feel right to just take up a table with our stuff if nobody was sitting there staying with our things. 6) My husband is 6'3" so my children are very tall for their ages. They would have loved to play in the playground portion of the park, but, unfortunately, only guests 45 inches and shorter could go inside. That is substantially smaller than many other similar parks where they can play in that sort of playground without issue or incident. I would recommend an age limit in lieu of a height limit (e.g. ages 12 and under). 7) Keep an eye on your children. It is a pretty big park. My mother and one son got separated from my husband, me, and our younger son, and it took us about 7 minutes to locate them (felt like an eternity), and we were pretty panicked. We had told them, we were just going to go down one slide, and we would be right back. Of course they had moved, and that was enough time to get lost. There are multiple ways to get up and down some towers, and it can be easy to lose a person (especially a special needs child like our autistic 11-year-old). There is no security there, whatsoever. It would be super easy for a child predator or a mass shooter to enter and do a great deal of damage in no time. In summary, they really nickel and dime the heck out of their guests. The place is pretty dangerous, in my opinion. I am pretty tiny & even I partially (my front half) flew off the end of the padded mat on one of the more benign slides. This happened both times I went down it. I had decided I would give it a second go in case it was a fluke that that had happened to me, the first time. Not the case. The only reason I did not give 1 star was because the employees were relatively nice (though far from marvelous), and it looks like the snack bar will have some decent choices though no fountain drinks nor hot food was available as of yet (our visit was 06/03/24). It is nice that spectators do not need to pay. They do at some competitors (e.g. Round 1). read more

Slick City Action Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Kids had fun! I would recommend to all - check Groupon. That's how I got my deal Enjoy!

This place is dangerous. They make you sign a waiver, which is to be expected. But the slides just are not safe. The place seems fun enough, with lots to do for kids. But there isn't anyone monitoring the slides themselves. Children run around and act unruly on the slides with no enforcement of area rules. My family and I wanted to like this place as the concept seemed fun. But I just can't condone this place. I walked away hurting, physically, and we just did not enjoy ourselves. 2 stars simply because the atmosphere and accommodations were nice. But for the price and the forced purchase of grip socks, it just wasn't worth the price. read more

Wow, What an amazing experience! This place is awesome and the kids had a great time! Meadow, the girl at the counter was kind and helpful, and the gentleman that was floating around assisted us a couple of times in different areas. We had 2 seven year olds, a 5 yr old and a 2 year old and there was something for everyone! My 7 year old is dying to have his birthday party here this month! read more

Fantastic place for the kids. Great for birthdays of course. We came for a birthday party after Halloween and no one was there because our kids had the day off after Halloween. It was awesome!!! read more

Our girls were invited to a birthday party here. They grouped up with a bunch of wild boys for a birthday celebration. Our girls are 7 and 8. They are a bit standoffish when it comes to certain things. Being that all slides were head first, I was worried about the birthday boy's mom paying for something Our girls wouldn't feel comfortable doing. They didn't do all the slides, but they had a blast. They have an area they are too old and tall for, that they wish they could of enjoyed, which is more of their cup of tea. I understand though as rambunctious as kids can be, it is nice for parents with younger tots to have a safe place for them. I couldn't believe when I called ahead, that someone actually answered the phone. Never can you reach anyone at places like these usually. I asked if I could bring special lunches for our girls since they have diet restrictions. That way they can enjoy gluten free pizza, and cupcakes while hanging out with their friends. They have no problem.with outside food being brought in for diet restrictions only. That was awesome. Our girls and their friends had a blast. If you have a sensitive child or are a worrybwart, this place may not be for you. Our girls picked and chose what they liked and watched a bit before they jumped in and joined the action. I recommend purchasing tickets and filling out the waiver ahead of time online. That way you can get right to the fun when arriving. They require special socks you purchase just like the trampoline parks. None of them allow you to use another businesses socks for liability reasons, but you are welcome to reuse ones purchased in the past from Slick City. Another family we were come often and reused their previously purchased Slick City socks. Everyone from phones to working in person was friendly. Our girls would go again. read more

Great slides!! I go to alot of childrens birthday parties there, but I think I would Love to have an Adult birthday party there! Except they don't sell alcohol, so my friends wouldn't be interested :) :) read more

Slick City Action Park - Playdate with cousins. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Nice concept, but pricey and supervised by less-than-well trained employees. Multiple activities were closed, non-operational. Needs to be kept cleaner and better organized. read more

I would not come here again. Their floors peeling up, and was unsafe to walk as I tripped a few times on loose flooring. Their customer service person in front giving us the wrist bands was not well trained. She was not listening to our needs and kept trying to sell us the ticket to use the service when we continued to ask for Spectator bands for our nieces birthday. She asked multiple times and also kept messing up our phone numbers multiple times as she was trying to find our waivers. She then gave attitude to us when we corrected her about the lack of listening she had. I would not come her again. Kids did not look safe going down the slides either and some bumps hurt the kids. read more

Yet another joke of a kids play place making you buy their socks at five dollars a pair when they are no different than the 20 other pairs I already have. At least you can do is make them affordable and not ridiculously overpriced. read more

Kids have to go down headfirst. That's their policy. When I asked what the reasoning was behind this as it seems unsafe to put the head, neck, and spine at risk. Their answer was: "Our owner feels its best along with the rest of management". Our friend's 5 year old too was too scared to go down the slide a second time, so it was a waste of money for them. She said she won't be back. Maybe the place is ok for older kids and adults---but not so much for younger kids. I encourage you to read the other reviews as well. read more

Came here for a day of fun since I saw this opened up. I was excited to see that there was a toddler area, so all of the kids could have fun! Only thing is though, if you do go and want to help assist your toddler through the play structure, you'll have to pay for socks and also sign a waiver. Would come back again and recommend to anyone! Love that it's indoor because it is so hot in Arizona! read more

The slide activity park was lots of fun! The only drawback is the entrance price is pretty steep ($38 per person) and you MUST have Slick City specific socks ($5 each) which makes it over $100 for 3 kids to play for 1.5 hours. They should offer Groupons or allow socks from other activity parks to help out with the cost! read more

This place is great but absolutely insane for having us pay for for a 1 and 3 year old! its 17$ for a 1 year old and that is wildly absurd. For a little jungle gym! they can't even do the slides. Poor advertisement about this also. The website makes you think it's free and under for four so by the time we brought the kids here they were already excited to go play. read more

For a bunch of kids running around the staff keeps this place is pretty clean the bathrooms, the floors and the cafe all look great! read more

Slick City Action Park - Going up the steps to one of the slides - Amusement Parks Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Second visit to Slick City today. A very busy Saturday. The noise inside is incredible. The Staff seem to be young leading the young. We walked into the women's restroom to find a puddle of standing water on the floor. 3 young ladies wearing staff uniforms were busy taking selfies and discussing where they were going to work next. They did warn us about the puddle. Remember children are in socks. As we left I asked them to please report it.. oh yes, that's disgusting, was the reply. My Grandkids love the slides, I just wish someone reads these reviews. read more

Really wish I didn't have to give this review but as a customer experience advocate I have to share. We ordered a pizza to which we never got, manager Angelina never refunded the pizza. All she gave was 3 passes for our visit next time which we will not be going to use. Terrible customer experience all around. read more

Shame on this business for price gouging at the Cafe. $6.65 for an Icee, $4 for water. KTR water is $1!!! It's a cool place with slides almost exclusively but we'll go to KTR. read more

We went there first thing this morning for a birthday party. The staff had clearly let a dirty diaper sit in the trash in the women's bathroom overnight (it was visible in the trash can) and no one came to change it the entire two hours we were there, even after I mentioned that the women's bathroom was in need of a trash change to a staff member. It was truly one of the most disgusting bathrooms i have ever been in. It seems like this place has zero care for the actual experience of the adults or guests there other than "go slide on the big slides and be happy with that." Management desperately needs to be trained on the basics of maintaining a facility, how to appropriately delegate staff, and expecting staff to at least pretend they don't hate their jobs. read more

Way too LOUD & intimidating for younger kids or neurodivergent guests, much better suited for teenagers and adults. I was told that in the near future they will be offering some sort of sensory hour better suited for neurodivergent guests but until then we won't be returning. Left after less than an hour due to these reasons and I'm happy that I asked because management was happy to provide some sort of refund due to our situation. Much appreciated especially after spending extra on 120 min tickets. Definitely not worth it when both of your kids are too scared to go down the slides. I saw other kids who got to the top and turned away too but that also could have been due to the worker/attendant spacing out and not providing guidance to the younger kids. The toddler area was right next to the bathrooms which is a plus but is tucked into a corner against black walls. Not much visibility for parents who actually care to see what their child is doing. I didn't feel entirely comfortable with it and see potential for something terrible happening to a child while they're hidden away in a dimmed, shadowy space where their caregiver cannot see them. The attendant there wasn't paying attention to who was coming in/out so parents don't let your guard down. I thought it was great that they had a few tables & soft benches inside the play spaces but overall this is not a place for parents to relax while the kids play. It's over stimulating and you can barely hear each other speak let alone keep an eye on the kids. I'd recommend playing with your kids at least on your first visit to get a feel for the whole experience and keep them safe. read more

can't believe how horrible this place it. what I witnessed was chilling. The GM was so busy flirting with female guests that he didn't even notice when some small child hurt their knee. He was even worse with female employees. Come on what kind of place is this? Definitely will not go there again read more

Warning to all: keep your elbows on the pad at all times This place was super fun although I skinned both of my elbows. Went here with my girlfriend at like 8:30pm on a Saturday and it was pretty busy but not as busy as a trampoline park would be. This place is fun and accepting of all ages, there are a lot of little kids but they start to clear out the later it gets. The slides are lowkey scary at first, mostly because it's mandatory you go head first but you get used to them especially after you see the lil kids doing flips off the slide. I would come here again read more

Awesome place. Great fun for the kids and the parents. Great place for BDay parties - slides are fast fun and safe.

We had an absolute blast! My friends and I are in our early 20s and were looking for a fun activity to do on a girls trip. The slides were extremely fun and exceeded our expectations. Fun for all ages. We rode the pink slide nearly 20 times trying to get over the hump. We will 100% return! read more

Brought my kids here ages 5-7. The little kid area is only for heights 45" and under, but all of the other slides are extremely fast and dangerous for kids. One child in our party was injured a few minutes in to our visit by landing on her neck and shoulder. Her mom told the manager and received a refund. We drove together and the manager started to refuse us a refund as well even though my kids were witnesses to her child's injury and refused to keep sliding. The manager said it was our fault for bringing the kids to the park. That might be true, but this place is just too dangerous for anyone. We saw multiple people injured while we were there. Seemed like there were more injuries than people enjoying themselves. read more

When you first walk in you have to sign a waiver to play on the rides and it's way to over priced you have to pay a lot for the socks which hurt your feet and their always out of mats for the rides and there stairs are confusing it's small and there are shaped like triangles my social anxiety didn't really like going up because I couldn't see the stairs because it was kind of dark going up and the rides are extremely painful and the rides are super terrifying for some kids and the workers don't really do anything they just make you go down but they don't even help by pushing kids when they ask they look like they don't even care about the safety about our child's safety my child got hurt going on the race slide his elbow got hit and scratched I expected better but it didn't go to well for us. read more
