The Mixing Parlor
Marquette's slime + play dough bar

Nothing beats a
parlor party.

Two ways to bring the parlor to your event: our mobile slime and play dough bar, or a hands-on workshop where kids make it from scratch with us.

Feedback that sticks

“Thank you to The Mixing Parlor for the best party idea EVER and for coming to us. The kids had a BLAST. If you ever need an amazing party idea that gives each kid a take home gift, this is such a perfect day.”
“Thank you for putting on an amazing party. We all were so impressed! We thought you were so professional and engaging and the kids got so much to take home!”

No space to host?

Add on a reserved corner at Provisions for $50. If there are more than 12 kids, additional tables of 8 can be added for $50 each.

Slime Workshop(most popular)

The hands-on version. We walk everyone through mixing a slime base from scratch, then each kid customizes their batch with color, scent and mix-ins and takes the whole thing home.

Great for ages 5 and up

Littler mixers (ages 3 and 4) can absolutely join in with a grown-up helping. For the under-5 crowd we usually suggest the mobile mixing bar, where the slime and dough are already made and the fun is all in the topping.

  • Every ingredient and supply provided
