About
Slick City Action Park brings indoor foam slides to Scottsdale's Talking Stick Entertainment District — and it turns out kids love foam slides as much as water slides, without the wet clothes, cold water, and outdoor heat management. The concept is simple: specially designed foam surfaces on enclosed slide tracks, paired with slide-specific sleds, create a speed-and-drop experience that children find genuinely thrilling.
The facility has multiple slide tracks at different speeds and intensities — a graduated approach that means younger kids (4-6) and teenagers (13-17) can both find appropriate challenges. The slower slides build confidence for younger participants; the faster tracks satisfy older kids who want genuine speed. Most kids immediately queue to repeat their favorites, making the session time feel well-used.
With a 4.8-star rating from 257 reviews, Slick City Scottsdale has established itself quickly as one of the more exciting indoor options in the metro area. The Talking Stick location means families can park once and combine Slick City with OdySea Aquarium, the Museum of Illusions, or other complex attractions for a full entertainment-district day.
Practical notes: bring a change of clothes and a small towel (the foam surface creates light static and warmth), book in advance (weekend sessions fill up), and check height requirements for specific slides before arriving with specific expectations. Socks are required and available for purchase on-site.
In Scottsdale's extreme summer heat, air-conditioned indoor entertainment at this energy level is especially valuable — Slick City provides the physical exertion and excitement of outdoor water park activities without the sun exposure and heat.

Why Kids Love It
Slick City is an indoor foam slide park where kids zip down giant foam-covered slides on specially designed sleds — no water required, but the same feeling of speed and drop. The slides range from beginner-friendly to genuinely fast, and kids typically queue to do their favorites repeatedly. The foam material means it's safe enough for younger kids while still exciting enough for teens who'd be bored at a standard soft-play facility.
