Operated by Door County Kayak · Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
Located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, Door County is best known for its rugged shoreline and outdoor water pursuits. But when the unpredictable weather sends families indoors, Door County Kayak offers a unique hands-on alternative: Slime Time. This vivid slime-making experience flips the script on traditional outdoor adventure by inviting kids into a tactile world of colors, textures, and imaginative play — all under one roof.
At 6329 WI-57, Door County Kayak’s Slime Time studio is a lively creative hub where children aged 3 and up can craft their own slime from a variety of bases — think fluffy, crunchy, clear, or glitter-filled. Beyond the slime base, participants choose custom colors, scents like watermelon or cotton candy, and fun add-ins such as beads, foam balls, or charms. The result? A personalized, take-home creation that invites endless squishing and stretching.
While Door County’s sweeping cliffs and lake vistas draw paddlers and hikers alike, Slime Time fills an important niche for families when the skies spill rain or the lake turns choppy. The activity sparks creativity and sensory engagement in a clean, well-organized setting complete with aprons and hand wipes. Door County Kayak’s passionate, friendly staff make the process smooth and welcoming, ensuring that every child leaves with a grin and a jar of gooey proof.
With sessions lasting around 30 minutes and walk-ins welcome, it’s a perfect rainy-day refuge or birthday outing. Slime Time complements Door County's outdoor attractions, giving families a fresh way to enjoy the local scene without leaving town. It’s a playful counterpoint to the region’s outdoor adventures and a memorable stop on any family’s itinerary.
