In something that could have been inspired by "Ghostbusters 2," New York City is getting covered with slime.
A hands-on museum honoring everything that deals with slime opens Friday in the Big (slimy) Apple. It's called Sloomoo Institute. The name comes from the tradition of replacing vowels in name with oo so slime becomes sloomoo, The Associated Press reported.
While kids, and some adults who haven't quite grown up, will love walking through a lake of slime, making their own slimy concoctions and putting on goggles and ponchos to get covered in the sticky substance, some are worried about the environmental impact the 8,000-square-foot museum has as it disposes of the slime.
Not only is it messy, but there is also apparently a health benefit when you're playing with slime -- it makes you rejuvenated and relaxed and there's an EEG machine to show the effects of your brain when elbows deep in slime, the AP reported.
Sloomoo costs $38 a ticket, which includes the displays and a trip to the DIY slime bar. If you want the experience of slime being poured on you, it's another $30.
Don't worry, hand wipes will be available throughout the museum and the slime will be changed frequently, the AP reported.
