I just went by the location Was excited to set up a party for my daughter in this location It is in a nice new mall which I really liked Parking is available and not far from the location Packages is for minimum of 10 for birthdays starts from 40 to 50 per kid which was fine with me since it has been expensive They have a small side area for birthdays The biggest issue for me that they charge 100 dollar extra for bringing outside food they only allow cupcake and drinks with no extra charge which is not usually enough if kids r hungry It made no sense to me to pay an extra 100 just to get a pizza for 10 kids which was what I planned I passed on it Either u guys provide ur own package or take a way the extra 100 for things like pizza or allow it with no extra charge I understand if alot of food is included it can be messy but should allow pizza cake and drink with no extra charge read more

Slime Kitchen is such a fun and adorable spot for kids--definitely a highlight of our spring break trip! The whole experience was hands-on and creative, and my kids had an absolute blast mixing and customizing their slime. We've actually been to another slime place in LA before, and while it was bigger, the slime quality there just didn't compare--it kept breaking apart and tearing. The slime at Slime Kitchen, though, was so much better. Super stretchy, smooth, and held together really well. You can tell they use high-quality materials. We ended up making slime as a family, which made it even more memorable. It is a little on the pricier side--if we'd known ahead of time, we probably would've just let the kids do it--but honestly, it still turned into a really fun family experience. If you're visiting San Diego or just looking for something different to do with your kids, this is definitely worth checking out! read more

Slime - so awesome!! Kids - so happy!! Employee - zero. We got the grumpiest girl helping us. Jeesh, felt like she was doing us a huge favour by helping my kid pick out stuff. Scowls all around, zero patience, just going through the motions robotically. I want to say maybe she was having a bad day but from other reviews with one star it appears we all got the same grouchy employee. My kid wants to go back and as much as it is painful paying $30 for slime, I would do it again if only that employee wasn't there anymore. So no thank you, we will not be back to this branch. Seems like there's one in Chula vista so we will rather drive the extra 20 mins to go there instead. Also sounds like others have had the same experience as us with the mission valley one. What a way to ruin our first experience. read more

This venue is an absolute paradise for family fun! The entire concept is brilliantly executed, offering a super engaging and imaginative environment where everyone can unleash their inner artist. From the moment we stepped inside, the energy was incredible and everything ran like clockwork. The team goes above and beyond, showing unbelievable patience and making every single guest feel incredibly welcome and excited. It is the ultimate destination for hands-on entertainment that keeps everyone smiling from start to finish. If you want a seamless, joyful, and memory-making day out, look no further. We are definitely making this our go-to weekend spot! read more

This was my first time here. I hear this places opened in August of 25. This is a very kid friendly environment. We had a party here. Since there were only 2 staff members, we had the kitchen to ourselves. Normally you can walk in, but since we were here. They turned away customers. The children loved every moment of the process. They get to choose from variety of slime types. Next they add color, etc. there are 10 steps in total. The children got to do this process twice. Now there are a few cons. I believe they are under staff. Two more associates, would have kept them from turning customers away. They did not have our reservation, but unlike the previous review. We got it situated. They do not have a restroom. You will have to go outside and use the mall restroom. If I was to come back. I would make a reservation, and take the name of who I spoke to. read more

We love Slime Kitchen! This location has amazing staff! The only thing I didn't like is one time we arrived and it was closed for private party. I wish you wouldn't do that, as people do travel from all over to go to your location. Otherwise it's a 10/10! Thanks! read more

Build your own slime shop! Price is $30 after tax for their standard slime build. They have the steps to build a slime listed on the wall. You pick the texture, color, scent, mix ins and toppings. I loved the industrial mixers to mix the slime as this is always the hardest part for homemade slime! Staff was very friendly and helpful each step of the way. They also offer birthday parties. read more

Amazing Interactive Slime Experience! We had such a fantastic time at this slime-making place! It's incredibly interactive, kid-friendly, and honestly just as fun for adults. The setup makes it easy for kids to jump right in--choosing colors, scents, textures, and all the fun add-ins. It's the perfect mix of creativity and hands-on play. The highlight of our visit was Dani. She was absolutely wonderful--so patient, energetic, and genuinely great with kids. She explained each step clearly, kept everyone engaged, and created such a positive environment. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Dani made the whole experience feel smooth, organized, and super special. If you're looking for an activity that keeps kids excited, busy, and creative, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back--and we'll definitely be asking for Dani again! read more

The worker here was so rude. She made me feel I should already know all the questions I asked. I don't know, I'm a parent, I'm not a slime expert. Pardon me for not knowing all the lingo of a kid's trend. Looking back it was funny how rude she was, because it's a slime place. Self importance in that environment is ridiculous. read more

I mean.. what kid doesn't like slime right? Better yet what kid doesn't enjoy making slime!? In doing some research this place blew up because of social media way to fast, they are definitely understaffed. I have been to the establishment 3x my daughter absolutely loves it. But seeing the frustration from parents is an every time thing. As stated in some of the other comments... depending on who you get to help you sometimes there is ZERO direction and when some do help it seems to be frustrating for them to even do so. THIS IS AN EVENT TO PLAN AHEAD FOR!! GET AN APPT DAYS AHEAD TO AVOID SOOOOO MUCH FRUSTRATION! Walk-ins I see are at your own risk. I would like to add that one employee is always sooooo nice and actually enjoys working there, I wish I knew her name. You'll know when you see her. Always smiling. Not on the phone or annoyed with helping . read more

My kiddos enjoyed their slime creating experience. The staff was very helpful and patient. Thank you! We can't wait to be back! read more

Slime Kitchen - Kiddos had tons of fun making their own slime . We will definitely be back! - Kids Activities Near Me - San Diego, California

Such a bummer to see all the bad reviews, my kiddos and I visited on a Sunday around 2pm and was added to a waitlist, we walked around the mall while we waited. We got a text saying we were next and when we returned they walked us straight back. The employees were super friendly and explained everything throughly because there were a lot of steps. My kids has so much fun, we never felt rushed, if anything, the employees kept checking up on us and made sure the slim was the right consistency, my sons slime was very sticky so they came by with a spray to fix that issue. Overall, such an awesome experience. Expect to wait if you don't have a reservation and be patient as the employees have multiple parties to attend to. Thanks slime kitchen for being the highlight of our Sunday!! read more

It all started a little shakey. 1:30 reservation for 5 people and we didnt get started till after 2pm. The 5 out 5 stars idle from my 12 son who had an amazing time. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as well as the finished product. We went here for my younger son's birthday. He turned 4. read more

Slime Kitchen - Slime Party - Kids Activities Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here today with my daughter, she had a good time but the staff was super unfriendly. I believe they were understaffed, only 2 girls working and lots of people were coming in. But I was afraid to ask any questions because their remarks were always so rude and they were super annoyed. A few of the parents around us said the same thing. It was a good concept but overall the experience was uncomfortable . read more

Slime Kitchen - Main entrance - Kids Activities Near Me - San Diego, California

Is a nice place to go and have lunch with family or friends but What I don't understand is why they have the music too laugh

They are understaffed and it ruins the experience. Reservation times are not honored, there was one single employee left to juggle everything. She was clearly overwhelmed and didn't give us much direction. It's very self explanatory but I thought I was paying $30 for a novelty experience my kids would enjoy and remember! The experience ended up being dingy IKEA furniture, a small crowded room, and an overstimulated employee. Save your time and money, skip this place. read more

Horrible customer service. We went with a group of friends as our daughter loves slime. Their website states $25 CA locations- but that's a lie. When you get to the front they charge you $37. They have horrible customer service. Great idea-- but executed horribly. read more

The workers were so sweet and helpful, my niece & nephews were excited during the whole experience. My nephew's slime came out more pink than he intended and he asked the lady if he can make it red and she did so! Everyone was very nice to the kids. Def worth every penny read more

Fun place to take the kiddos. Make your own slime and add different scents and textures. Grand daughters loved it.

Slime Kitchen - Slime - Kids Activities Near Me - San Diego, California

I came across this place multiple times, and was very interested in it! Thought it looked like a fun place. Decided to go with a few other friends, and there were no other people there so we did a walk in. You would expect employees to be pleased they have customers, but that was not the case. The two employees there at the time, made me feel very rushed, disrespected, and stupid. They would glare at us, couldn't even try to put on a smile, and were very impatient. What could have been a fun experience, was a waste of 30$. I was also sharing the slime making with someone (we split it in half) which they said was okay, we asked for two containers. The response we got was insane, the workers looked at me like I was crazy, and said that the majority of the cost is because of the containers... Like I believe that, those containers are bought in large quantities and dont cost more than 50 cents. They expected us to hold half the slime and walk around the mall? After we paid them 30+ dollars? Ridiculous. They skeptically gave us a small ziploc bag, after we asked if they had one. Geez. One worker was also going to let us walk out without doing the added toppings/glitter, I had to ask multiple times, making me look stupid. The workers looked like they hated their job and were taking it out on me. It was such a bad experience, which is a total shame, because it is a great business idea. The slime is sticky by the way only one week after purchasing and using it everyday. Slime Kitchen, DO BETTER! read more

Nuvia did such an amazing job today being there alone. She was so accommodating for my son and I and balanced being the only employee as well as assisting the reservation and a delivery that came at the same time all with grace! Would definitely come back again with that kinda service! read more

It's a great concept but falls short. Reservations don't mean a lot and 2 staff members who didn't seem to want to be there helped us at different times. It was rushed and a very short experience. At the end of it you have spent maybe 10 minutes, have a jar of slime all for $30. Make this experience more fun (more enthusiastic employees) and make it longer (give the kids more time to actually play with the slime?) read more

The place was clean, organized, and very kid friendly. It's the perfect mix of fun and learning the kids got to be creative, and I loved seeing them so proud of their slime creations. Definitely a must visit for families looking for a hands-on activity in San Diego! read more

They missed our appointment time for my daughter's 3rd birthday and didn't notify us ahead of time (store was still closed). They emailed us 12 minutes after the start time saying they had a staffing issue. No offer to make it right or any sympathy for making us come 30 minutes away from our home for this. We waited over an hour to see if they might still open late but they didn't. There were other families waiting outside the closed store too who had also made appointments. Very disappointed. read more

The idea is there but the execution was horrible honestly. I wanted to love it but it was extremely unorganized and unprofessional. I understand I came on a Saturday but I signed up for the waitlist online and it said 40-45 minutes. Okay we wait that long. I come in when I had 5-8 minutes left to check in, somehow as we're checking in the wait jumps from 5-8 to 20-25 minutes. We're told to wait another 15 minutes. Then by that time, the girl at the front calls me up from the waitlist but doesn't tell me anything like where to start or how to get started but she's told everybody else before us how and where to start. She eventually tells us how to get started and getting inside was hectic as well. There was a few employees but instructions were not clear so everybody seemed like they were wandering. The family before us felt the same. This idea is very cool and this would've been a very fun experience but it needs more structure & maybe a better waitlist system? Not even sure. read more

Took my daughter and i wanted to make slime all day. So amazing, we're definitely coming back! The staff is do knowledgeable and friendly!

We loved Slime Kitchen! Lily & Maria were incredibly patient and made the experience so personal and fun ! Highly recommended!!

Slime kitchen is a great place to take your kid! We've gone 3 times already and every time the staff are always very friendly! We have also gone with friends and they love it as well! I always recommend coming here just so that way your child can experience making their own slime! read more

Friendly staff! Such a cool experience!! They did a really good job of engaging the kids!

Called ahead to see if walk ins were welcome today , was told they are today and the wait is 30 mins and when we get there to scan the QR code. Took the 30 minute drive just to be told they aren't doing walk ins today. read more

The experience was cool but it was horribly understaffed and I understand that slime is sticky but we've had our slime a few months and every time we go to use it it's horrible, the kids can't play with it because it's way too sticky and it dyes my sons hands blue every time he uses it. read more

Good pricing. Kids and adults enjoyed their slime so we will definitely be coming back!
