We ended up doing this museum in about 45 minutes. This was one of our favorite photo spots! Photo credit: Marcie Cheung I admit the main reason we stopped at the Washington Square Dinerwas that my son needed to use a restroom and it looked like they might have one. We hadn’t done any NYC playgrounds yet and we had time to kill, so it was perfect! Lunch at Washington Square Diner So, I figured we could do the 30-minute walk to the Museum of Illusions instead of taking the subway.Īs we were walking, we saw the Minetta Playground and my son asked if we could stop. Minetta PlaygroundĪfter we did Sloomoo for a bit, we still had about 3 hours before our timed ticket at the Museum of Illusions. They do have a special solution available to clean clothing there, but you won’t want to walk around with damp clothes. I nsider tip: Roll up your sleeves and make sure to wipe down the counters before adding color to your slime. A staff member poured buckets of watered down slime on them. We watched a family do it and they went in barefoot and wore shower caps and plastic ponchos. There’s also an option to “get slimed” and I’m honestly so glad we didn’t do that option. And of course, he had a blast making his own slime. As soon as we entered, there were tons of vats of scented, colorful slime ready for playing.Ī few highlights included the slime slingshot, the slime walk, and adding to the epic slime wall. My son was ready for some hands-on activities, especially after having so much fun at the Color Factory. I had heard mixed things from other families about whether or not Sloomoo was worth a stop. Sloomoo is in every kids guide to New York City. It was only a 10-minute walk from the Color Factory to Sloomoo, which meant we got there about 45 minutes before our timed ticket. Our next timed ticket was for Sloomoo Institute at Noon. The Color Factory is a fun thing to do in NYC with teens, tweens, or kids of any age. We ended up spending about an hour here including the time we spent perusing their gift shop. So my son was slowly eating a popsicle in our photos for the first few rooms. It started with popsicles right as we entered. The only annoying part about the Color Factory is that they handed out treats along the way, but there was never really a good place to eat them. Since it was just my son and myself on this trip, I loved getting photos of the two of us that weren’t selfies. We got a little card with a QR code on it that we scanned in the different rooms to activate the cameras. This was such a cool place for kids! I’d call it an “Instagram Museum” because it was obviously set up for people to take photos of themselves in the different exhibit areas. Color Factory is one of top the things to do in New York City for kids.
