DAY IN A LIFE: The SLIME FACTORY

Do your children enjoy slime? I've never met a child who doesn't. Jaiden has been obsessed with slime ever since I got him one of those at a retro container where you put 50 cent coins. But, to be honest, I'm not a fan. They've all resulted in a big mess. Alternatively, when I saw that there was a Slime Factory near us, we jumped at the chance. I was entralled. And I'm willing to give slime another chance.

The Slime Factory is the home of the popular Slime. Children become scientists in this super fun lab, wearing lab coats and protective glasses while making various Maddie Rae's Slime Recipes. Aspiring scientists will enjoy topping their gooey creations at the topping station with a variety of Maddie Rae's charms and accessories, as well as playing in the gooey slime pool.

We went to pick the cheapest selection, we got so lucky since we went on a weekday and the store just opened so we have the whole store just for us and 2 other girls.

After you pay the admission fees, they will require your scientist to wear a lab gown, and also gloves (for when you want to play in the slime pool).

A staff will help you with all the ingredients you need, it is already pre-measured and the little scientists will just need to pour it on their paper bowls. Jaiden had fun mixing, and I guess even Brandon too!

The boys picked blue. Jaiden needs a little help in mixing the ingredients as they get thicker.

and the final blast, the slime pool!

The Slime Factory is located at The Florida Mall in Orlando, Florida.

I hope this was useful in planning your trip. This is something you can absolutely do with kids aged 3 and up, so I highly recommend including it on your Orlando itinerary.
