Circus Abyssinia's brand-new spectacle Tulu leaves you wanting more—in the best possible way. The exhilarating Ethiopian troupe returns to the New Victory Theater with Tulu, a cavalcade of gravity-defying athletic acts in tribute to the legendary long-distance runner Derartu Tulu, the first African woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Featuring a cast of nine and running just an hour, Tulu is smaller and more intimate than Circus Abyssinia's last eye-popping extravaganza, Ethiopian Dreams, which played at the New Vic in 2018. But there are benefits to the scaled-down scope, especially for families. Because of the abbreviated running time, very young theatergoers likely won't get fidgety and audiences of all ages will be in awe of the performers' versatility!

Read on to find out about the fabulous feats you'll see and find all our top New Victory picks this season in our Guide to Children's Theater in NYC.

If you have any little slime lovers in your family, the newly opened Sloomoo Institute in Chicago is a must. This hands-on space lets you touch, smell, feel, and explore slime textures, colors, and scents unlike any other. Sure, you can always make slime at home, but Sloomoo takes that experience and makes it much, much bigger, plus keeps the slime inside their space and off the walls of your kitchen.

The Sloomoo Institute Chicago is located at 820 N. Orleans and offers timed admission tickets to ensure every group has an enjoyable sensory experience. And if you're looking for a museum with a little less mess, check out our Museum Guide.

There's nothing more enticing to a child than a blob of sticky, stretchy, soothing slime; and they can get oodles of the gooey stuff at Sloomoo Institute Atlanta. This mecca of slime is a wacky experience that pays homage to the best of Elmer's Glue. Kids will fan out over the amount and variety of slime, showcased in cool, colorful ways at Sloomoo Institute. And parents will love the fact that all the slime experimentation stays at the Institute and not stuck in their carpet.

My young daughters are definitely working on their doctorates in Slimeology, and by attending Sloomoo Institute Atlanta, their passion in the sticky science has only increased! I can only hope these little graduates go on to make their alma mater proud by coming up with even more insane slime inventions...in our backyard.
