About Sloomoo Institute
Sloomoo Institute is a rapidly growing interactive experience based on play, #satisfying through handmade slime, tapping into the senses, and ASMR. We are an art-inspired, immersive haven of color, design, and joy. Launched in 2019, Sloomoo Institute now has 4 locations and has been an enormous success, attracting over 1 million guests and billions of media impressions. A fifth flagship will be opening in LA in the late summer/early fall. Even more, slime play is known to support stress relief as much as it does your imagination! Driven by a mission to provide a reprieve from the chaos of the world and screen addiction, the brand has close ties to mental health non-profits and a dedication to inclusion as well as supporting neurodiversity through our experience and our workforce.
