Super cute and fun date with my 6 year old son! The workers Kevin and Kevin were so helpful and sweet to us!

Got an awesome beach themed slime here! My daughters loves it. Thank you!

My sister asked to take my girls to this place because my little one LOVeS slime. This location was inside the mall. It was a little lackluster, but the good part was that there was no one else there when we arrived. Other customers arrived later and we could hear passerby's kids say, I want to make slime when they'd look inside. There were lots of little tables and chairs for kids to mix their slime. The kids are provided with aprons to wear so they didn't get their clothes dirty; great touch! There were steps labeled on the wall so that customers knew what to do. We asked a staff and they walked us through each section. There were a few higher bar stool type chairs for adults to sit at near the inside of the windows. Kids get to choose their slime base, the scent, glitter, and charms, etc. then they get to mix it all together. At the end they get their newly made slime put into a small plastic container to take home. We were also provided with some take home activator to spruce up our slime at home in a few days, as needed. Overall, the whole experience lasted about 30 minutes.

Best slime party birthday ever. Great staff. Clean. Fun! A+ yay we will be back for sure!

Took the cousins for a fun slime time at The Slime Kitchen. Kimball helped us and he was super helpful and patient with the kiddos! They had a great time!

Had a fun Auntie and niece day at Slime Kitchen! Location: A newer location in the Oakridge Mall! Lots of space for the kiddos as we came while there was a birthday party and we were still able to have a table for ourselves. Pricing: The experience itself is a decent price around $25 but an additional topping for $1 - it's literally a speck of something instead of a spoonful of something - eh not worth it lol. Service: Pete helped us out! He was very friendly and explained every step of the way. He was very attentive when we needed more activator! Tips -Make a reservation ahead of time to ensure you secure a spot with your kiddo! -Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to loud areas bc the kiddos are all very excited to play with slime! -They have an option to add scents! If you are sensitive to fragrance, a little goes a long way!

"The best slime place I've ever gone to! -But why isn't there a sink?" - My Child The lack of handwashing stations and music makes it feel like it's a temporary popup. The person who helped us made us feel rushed, but said everyone can stay as long as they wanted. All in all, 9/10.

Brought my son here for the first time and he was ready to buy the whole store. We will be returning back when he goes through his slime tub.

Such a cool little activity for kids of all ages! We decided to come here last minute but were happy that they had walk-in activities. The staff here were friendly and helpful. It was $25 per child for one slime activity that included 10+ steps. My kids were very excited and were kept occupied with the slime-making for almost 30mins. They have stations set up and the kids choose the type of slime, scents, color, texture and add ins. Overall, it was a fun and engaging experience. The kids now have a cool slime they can continue to play with at home.

I came here with a group of friends for a birthday party, and yes we are all adults in our mid to late 20s lol. The staff was welcoming and accommodating to our party even though we are obviously not the target audience. They had tons of options for add-ons.

Price gouging at its worst. $28 for a small container of slime? Seriously? We can go to the craft store and buy 3 kits for the same price. The menu says that adding a texture is $1 then they take the child up and say "you can get 3" sure, for $1 EACH They should also have seating for kids who aren't 5 yr olds. My daughter is 5 foot tall and was so uncomfortable sitting in the ridiculously small table and stool. Will never go back. read more

The setup is good - there are testers that you can use to try out the slime before making a selection. You also get to choose your own color and scent, as well as toppings. I think it's a little pricey at $25 but your slime is 100% customizable. I'm taking off 2 stars because of the poor service. The store did not have a single customer when we walked in. There were 3 employees and all of them ignored me completely even though I stood right in front of them for awhile. I was confused by their utter lack of response and even asked if they were open. Same thing happened to the next guy who came in. He was hanging around the counter and it was obvious he had questions. He was completely ignored too, until he tried to get an employee's attention. Employees at all the other stores said hi when we walked in. Even an employee teteering on top of a ladder with her back faced to us at Yankee Candles. I will not be going back to the Slime Kitchen. I'd rather get my slime online. read more

I know this because my boyfriend recorded me. Lol... I'm very grateful that I was determined to do this despite the company that I had didn't want to do it. Years ago I let someone that I was with who didn't want to do it influence me to also not do it when we visitied Alamere Falls so I won't let that happen anymore. If there is something I want to do, it's okay to do it alone when other people don't want to do it. That's on self-love, baby! There is two parking areas. We initially parked in the one right across the post office, but then we follow this group to the other one right next to it because it was closer. We walked across the railroad tracks and found the opening to the climb to the beach. I was sore for a few days afterwards in my legs from climbing the side of the cliff, but oh gosh... It was so worth it!

Incredible hike! However go early because parking is sort of difficult to find later in the day…read more The best time I find to go is early morning since it's cooler and the parking will be easier to find.

I'd say that's the biggest downside--there is only one small lot for the entire space and fills up very quickly, with rangers monitoring and prohibiting parking anywhere else on Sierra Rd. So either come early or be prepared to make a few circles and speed back as soon as you see someone leaving. The trails themselves have such beautiful views of the South Bay. I do wish there were more signs on what paths are what--there are a couple but there were a few forks where we weren't 100% sure which route would keep us on the loop. It is a pretty steep hike downhill to begin with if you're starting from the lot, which unfortunately means it's almost all uphill back but hey, you can feel good about earning that extra side of fries afterwards! There are also no restrooms so be sure to go before leaving the house!

I LOVE to take trips down Highway 1. Local day trips often just take me anywhere from Bodega Bay…read moreup north to Monterey down south, but most times just from the stretch of Pacifica to Santa Cruz. And when I cruise down leisurely down this glorious highway, I won't just gun the vehicle and go from destination to destination. I like to randomly stop at little towns, beaches, roadhouse eateries that's dotted along the way. There are so many beaches on highway 1. I'm still exploring around myself. Pulled in onto this beach as they had a big parking area on the cliffside. This is in-between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay, super close to the road that you can take to go to Big Basin. This is not a lying around type of beach. It is very raw and very windy for some reason. Lots of seabirds on parts of the beach, lots of stranded seaweed and due to the wind, lots of white water surf. And a big attraction here actually is due to the surf and wind conditions. Lots of surfers and wind-surfers here that it'll catch your eye even from the highway. Wind surfers are these skilled and brave souls that go out in rough seawater with a parachute like apparatus connected to them, as so they can take flight and take leaps almost at bird level. And they are able to surf more waves without being pounded by rough waves, as they are able to jump from wave to wave via air/wind. Even tho it was too windy for me to sit out there for longer than 30 minutes, it was a blast watching these guys bounce and float around in what would otherwise be dangerous waters. I'm eventually going to knock out all the beaches from Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay, and this one was a special one to knock out.

Such a beautiful beach! It was very windy and cold and I imagine it's like this all the time. But I…read morestill enjoyed my 2 mile walk along the beach. This place has bathrooms and parking. It's pretty big so I can't see it getting crowded.

It sounds like a lot but when I'm given the security of his safety and knowing throughout the day he is enjoying himself, that $ is well worth it. I was nervous having never even visited the place and only going off of another parents recommendation but the staff gave me direct communication as I continuously checked in (shout out to LuLu) and she provided me the comfort of knowing he's having fun and he told me he wasn't ready to come home until the last min of his day. He is excited to go again. He talked about the fun he had that days for several days after. I would def recommend trying it out even if it's just for one time. I'm sure your kid will talk you into coming again.

My son generally does best in more structured environments. This camp felt very busy, chaotic, and highly stimulating for him however he seemed to enjoy the activities very much. With a large group of children, I personally expect very active and engaged supervision, especially during free play. That part made me nervous as I saw on drop off no supervision while boys were playing soccer in my childs group. Ultimately, I made a decision to cut the camp short and move him to a another camp that blends sports and arts and had better student teacher ratios and just more a more personable manager in charge. Although GrowFit does not offer refunds, I still felt more comfortable choosing a calmer, environment. He is doing much better there, and I have less anxiety on saftey.

The portion sizes were super generous; we made tons of baked chorizo croquetas, devoured our entire paella, and still had plenty of lemon ricotta cheesecake left over to take home. Just a heads-up: the class ran from 7:30 to 9:30, so dinner ends up being on the later side. That said, it's totally in line with Spanish dining culture, so no complaints there, just something to keep in mind if you're coming hungry!

We recently attended a birthday party at Slime Kitchen, and it was a fun and unique experience for the kids! The staff did a great job demonstrating the slime-making process and guiding the kids through each step. They were patient, helpful, and made sure everyone was engaged. The space itself was well-organized, which helped keep the chaos of a group of excited kids under control. The materials were neatly set up, and the staff kept everything running smoothly. Our party brought in pizza and cupcakes, which worked out well for a little break at the end of the activities. One minor downside was that the party felt a bit rushed toward the end. It seemed like there was a set time for each session, and once we reached the limit, things wrapped up pretty quickly. While this is understandable for scheduling purposes, a little extra time would have been nice. Overall, Slime Kitchen is a great spot for a hands-on, creative birthday party. The kids had a blast, and the staff made the experience enjoyable and stress-free for the parents. If you're looking for a unique party idea that keeps kids entertained and engaged, this is definitely a solid option! read more

Slime Kitchen is a great addition to Oakridge mall. It's between macys and build a bear. This location opened up in July 2022, but it's still missing from the mall directory. I took my daughter here and she had a blast. Kids are allowed to make their own slime, which is a super fun activity. She got to touch different types of slime before picking her base. There were so many different scents to pick, but my daughter decided that she didn't like any of the smells. It was great how kids can customize the color and add more things to the slime. Overall, I highly recommend slime kitchen. read more

Visited Slime Kitchen with my two kids, and it was such a fun experience. The space was colorful, organized, and easy to navigate--even with kids in the mix. There were tons of options for colors, textures, scents, and add-ins, which kept both of them engaged the whole time. The staff was friendly and helpful without hovering, which I appreciated. The process was simple, not too messy, and actually pretty relaxing. Both kids loved their final slimes, and they turned out great quality. Overall, Slime Kitchen is a perfect outing with kids and something we'd definitely do again. read more

We visited the Stoneridge location of Slime Kitchen and had such a great experience! AARyN was incredibly helpful with our kids. My daughter accidentally got some slime stuck on her apron, and AARyN was so attentive and kind in helping us fix it and even made sure she had a little extra slime to enjoy. This is such a fun place -- my kids absolutely love coming here! We always have a wonderful time, and the staff really make the experience special. We're even considering having a slime party here for my daughter's birthday. Highly recommend this location! read more

My son and I decided to visit the mall for some stuff, specifically at Slime Kitchen. At this shop, we had the chance to personalize our own slime by choosing the color and scent that my son prefers.It was quite intriguing, and it got the boy extremely thrilled. Each stage offered unique moments. Consequently, he asked me to make another of slime. The overall experience was fantastic. read more
