Nickelodeon Brings the Fun-ergy to San Diego Comic-Con 2026

Nickelodeon is gearing up to make a splash at this year’s Comic-Con International: San Diego 2026 with a massive ‘slime-fueled’ experience that extends beyond the convention center floor.

The brand’s 1,800-square-foot booth in the convention center will be a hub of interactive challenges and photo opportunities inspired by beloved Nickelodeon franchises such as ‘SpongeBob SquarePants,’ ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender,’ and ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.’ Visitors will have the chance to generate ‘fun-ergy’ through a series of challenges culminating in a nearly 20-foot tall Slime Surge, capture themed photos and videos, shop retail items, and participate in daily giveaways and character appearances.

In addition to the convention center experience, Nickelodeon is introducing ‘Fun Flows Here,’ an outdoor activation in partnership with The New Children’s Museum in downtown San Diego. This free public event will take place from July 23 to July 26 at the Museum park and feature an interactive stage show with performances, games, and entertainment inspired by popular series like ‘Paw Patrol,’ ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ ‘The Thundermans,’ and ‘Star Trek: Scouts.’

Fans will also have the opportunity to get slimed with the iconic green goo at a Nickelodeon slime booth and take photos at installations featuring ‘SpongeBob SquarePants,’ ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender,’ and Kids’ Choice Awards. Nickelodeon Our World will host kids’ activities like make-your-own slime, bubble play, DJ sets, and live raffles. A family movie night event will feature a screening of ‘The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants’ on Friday, July 24, at 7 p.m.

Museum members will receive an invitation to a special preview event on July 23, while the general public can enjoy the outdoor activation from July 23 to July 26. The New Children’s Museum will be closed to the public from July 21 to July 26.

Nickelodeon’s commitment to providing an immersive experience for fans of all ages is evident in the breadth and depth of their Comic-Con 2026 plans. With a focus on interactivity, entertainment, and fun, the brand is sure to make a lasting impression on attendees.
