If you’re looking for a unique adventure with colorful exciting challenges and lots of slime, then Gootopia is for you! This immersive experience brings fun-seekers into the world of the Great Gootopia Games. Here, visitors must conquer thrilling obstacles and activities to earn the best possible score. The reward? A choice between escaping the slime or embracing it to receive a custom-made Slime Kit from the Slime Lab! It has a variety of interactive challenges such as the Slime Tower Challenge, Human Bowling Ball, Balloon Blaster, and Boom Boxer. Participants will have to rely on their reflexes, agility, and competitive spirit to come out on top. Expect to be dodging goo, catching sticks in mid-air, and racing to pump a balloon at Gootopia! They have branches in SM Mall of Asia and SM North, open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM.
Gootopia welcomes participants of all ages, but there are some height and age restrictions to ensure safety and enjoyment. Children aged 12 and below must be accompanied by a fully vaccinated paying adult at all times. Those who are at least 3.5 feet tall can fully participate in the games, receive a Scorecard, and claim their slime kit. Meanwhile, children under 3.4 feet can enter for free but will need an accompanying adult to assist them in certain activities. For kids under 3.5 feet, certain games are still playable with a guardian’s help. These include Slime Face, Goonado, Goo Catcher, Slime Spy, Goozooka, and Balloon Blaster. These activities ensure that even the youngest guests can experience the excitement of Gootopia in a safe and enjoyable way. However, challenges like Boom Boxer, Goolectic Challenge, and Slime Tower require a certain level of strength and coordination, making them exclusive to taller participants.

- Handwashing is required before activities, so comply with guidelines to keep the slime play clean.
