Sloomoo Institute, an interactive slime experience, is opening a permanent flagship in Midtown this summer.
Why it matters: The 7,500-square-foot space is built for kids and adults who don't mind getting their hands messy.
Context: Sloomoo launched in New York City in 2019 and now operates in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Atlanta, plus outposts in Philadelphia and Boston.
What to expect: "Our Charlotte location gave us a chance to have a little fun with local influence, including a one-of-a-kind Sloomoo sculpture that nods to the city's flower, its NASCAR racing culture, and state bird," co-founder Sara Schiller said in a statement. Plus:
- A DIY slime bar where guests make and take home an 8-ounce custom slime.
- A slime waterfall where you can get slimed, Nickelodeon-style.
- A 500-gallon Lake Sloomoo you can walk across.
- A slime slingshot and glow-in-the-dark DJ experience.
If you go: Ticket pricing is still TBD, but will most likely start around $29.99, a Sloomoo representative confirmed Axios. Your ticket includes an 8-oz slime at the DIY bar.
- Sloomoo Institute will be at 1100 Metropolitan Ave.
