Booking is also possible at the Haven site you’re staying at. There is usually a desk or area for booking any activities, possibly in the family entertainment centre.

Slime Creations: What can you expect from the activity?
If you’ve got a child who loves getting messy and creative, Slime Creations at Haven is one of those activities that’s guaranteed to be a hit. It’s a calm, indoor option that’s ideal for a bit of downtime or a rainy afternoon. Plus, it’s not every day your child gets permission to make a gooey, glittery mess!
The session usually costs around £7 (2025 price), depending on the park, and lasts around 30 minutes. It’s a great price for an activity where your child gets to bring something home – their very own pot of personalised slime!
You’ll need to check in with the activities team just before the session starts. Once you’re checked in, the children are guided to a table where all the materials are ready and waiting. Sometimes tables are set out in a certain way, to ensure siblings and friends booked on together can sit together, so just make sure you’re sitting in the right place.
Each child gets to choose their own colours and mix-ins – think glitter, foam beads, and even sequins – and the staff talk them through each step, from combining the ingredients to kneading the slime until it’s just right. It’s all very child-friendly, and the team are great at keeping things fun and stress-free (even when things get a bit sticky!).
The hardest part of making the slime is mixing everything together and making sure the slime isn’t super sticky. This can take some time and smaller children might get frustrated. Staff are on hand to help out though and they walk around all the time to check on everyone.
You don’t need to worry about bringing anything – everything is provided, and there are plenty of wipes and aprons if needed. At the end of the session, the children get to take their pot of slime away in a little tub, which is always a big hit.
Slime Creations is popular, so it’s worth booking in advance through the Haven app or website to make sure you don’t miss out, especially during the busier school holiday weeks. It’s also worth noting that younger children may need a bit of help from you – you’re welcome to stay and give them a hand.
