If you are thinking about wearing your best white shirt or fave clothes, then think again, especially if you are a holder of a Slime Seat ticket and have access to the SLIME PIT! If you are in the SLIME PIT area, it will get pretty messy, so it’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes and a spare towel for the trip home.
