Your slime loving kids are going to be begging to spend a lot more time at Tysons Corner Center. Sloomoo Institute, a children’s slime museum, is expanding to Northern Virginia.
The slime experience submitted plans with Fairfax County last week to renovate a two-level retail space near Nordstrom, with an estimated cost of $3.8 million.
According to the Washington Business Journal, Sloomoo Institute is set to take over the space of the former Paul Mitchell beauty school and at least one additional unit. An official lease has yet to be signed.
Plans show that the 17,638-square-foot space will include a retail store, timed-ticked slime experience, back of the house storage, and a support area. The store has not yet released a timeframe for when it will open.
Even though the Sloomoo Institute hasn’t made an official announcement, there is plenty to look forward to. Based on its other locations, guests will be able to enjoy over 500 gallons of slime at the new Tysons locations. Hands-on experiences could include the Slime Gallery, DIY Slime Bar, and Lake Sloomoo, where you can walk on over 300 gallons of slime. At Sloomoo Falls, guests can live out dreams of getting slimed as if they were on Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards.
Sloomoo Institute opened its first location in New York City in 2019. Since then, the slime museum has expanded into Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and Los Angeles. In September, Sloomoo opened its first MiniMoo experiences in Boston and Philadelphia.
