The most famous slime in the world is making a limited appearance in Atlanta this summer.

Nickelodeon is bringing Slime City, a pop-up neon green slime fest, to Buckhead, more specifically to the Piedmont Peachtree Crossings Shopping Center. For five days a week (slime City is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) until Sept. 1, Slime City will offer families a chance to get slimy with the best of them.

Described on their website as “The greatest, most awesomest place on Earth” general admission tickets to Slime City starts at $29 (children under two years old are free), with all tickets being available online only. Only eight tickets are allowed to be purchased per transaction.

Slime City, all 20,000 square feet of it, will allow visitors to make there way through Slime HQ, party in the Slime Light Club and visit the Great Wall of Slime (which for the record will not have any actual slime, but instead is made up of movable prongs that kids and adults alike can use to frame their bodies. There is also the Slime Down Lounge, with its huge green bean bag and Slime-Tennial Park, a play on the 1996 Summer Olympics centerpiece and Atlanta greenspace, which includes a rendition of the Atlanta skyline.

For those looking for a more advanced experience Nickelodeon is offering a $30 VIP Slimy Add-on and a $12 Make Your Own Slime Add-on.

The VIP tickets (the cost of which are added on to the general admission ticket price) will afford the ticket holders to get slimed in a more private setting, including having one’s own solo slime tank. All VIPs will also receive a “I got slimed” t-shirt.

The Make Your Own Slime experience gives visitors an inside look at how the world famous green slime is made through a tour of the Slime Lab.

There is a warning that comes along with visiting Slime City: dress to play. All visitors are given ponchos to wear due to the high possibility of getting slime all over their clothing. By all accounts the slime will come out of clothing in the wash. All visitors are asked to remove their shoes during their visit.

Slime City is located in the Piedmont Peachtree Crossings Shopping Center at 3330 Piedmont Rd, NE. The event space is open Wed.-Fri. 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m., Sat. 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
