What Is Slimeville Warrington?
Slimeville is a family-run indoor experience venue that has quickly become one of the most talked-about kids’ attractions in the North West. It is not just a soft play with a gimmick thrown in. Every element of the venue has been designed around sensory play, creativity, and hands-on fun, with the Slime Station as the undisputed star of the show.
The Warrington location at 15-17 Friars Gate, WA1 2RR is perfectly placed in the town centre, just a short walk from the train station and a few minutes from the Times Square multi-storey car park. It is a genuinely easy venue to reach, whether you are coming by car or public transport.
Sessions run for 90 minutes and are capped at a set number of guests, so it never feels overcrowded. Between every session, the team carries out a full 30-minute clean-down of all areas. Reassuring when you have little ones who will inevitably be touching absolutely everything!
Who is it for? Slimeville is designed for children aged 3 to 12 years old, though babies and toddlers under 1 go free. The mix of soft play, sensory activities, and interactive tech means there really is something for every age in that range.
The Slime Station: Where the Magic Happens
The Slime Station is the centrepiece of every Slimeville visit, and honestly, it is as wonderful as the kids will tell you it is! Every child gets to become a proper slime scientist, creating their very own custom slime completely from scratch.
How the Slime Station Works
It starts with a soft white base, and from there, the fun really begins. Kids choose their own colours, pick from a range of exciting scents, and personalise their creation with a brilliant selection of add-ins. Think glitter, foam beads, charms, and mini surprises. The friendly Slimeville team guides everyone through the process, making it easy and safe even for younger children.
The best bit? Every child takes their custom slime home as a keepsake. No fuss, no extra charge. It is included in the session price!
Giant Slime Bowls and Free Play
Before the Slime Station workshop kicks in, the first half of the session is all about free exploration. Huge scented slime bowls are dotted around for kids to touch, stretch, and squish to their hearts’ content. It is the kind of sensory experience that keeps children completely absorbed.
What parents love about it: the slime is regularly refreshed and replaced throughout the day, and all equipment is cleaned every 90 minutes. So while it is wonderfully messy, it is also genuinely hygienic!
Everything Else Inside Slimeville Warrington
The Slime Station is the headline act, but there is a whole world of fun packed into the rest of the venue too. Think again if you assumed this was just about slime! Slimeville Warrington is bursting with interactive activities that will keep even the most energetic children busy for the full 90 minutes.
Here is everything you will find inside:
- Interactive climbing wall for budding adventurers
- Interactive sand table that kids absolutely cannot get enough of
- Slime Tunnel to crawl, explore, and get gloriously gooey

SEND Sessions and Accessibility
One of the things we really love about Slimeville is how genuinely inclusive it is. The venue is fully wheelchair and pram friendly, with a dedicated pram parking zone (even bigger than their Liverpool venue). Getting in and around the space with a buggy or wheelchair is completely straightforward.
For families with children with additional needs, Slimeville runs dedicated SEND sessions every Wednesday and Thursday. These sessions run at reduced capacity, typically around half the usual guest numbers, creating a calmer, quieter, and more supportive environment. If you have specific requirements, the team encourages you to get in touch in advance so they can make sure your visit is as comfortable as possible.
Bear with us here while we say this, because it really matters. Finding an attraction that has properly thought about accessibility and SEND provision is not always easy. Slimeville has clearly made it a priority, and that deserves a mention!
