Get ready for a splashing good time at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, as Nickelodeon takes over the convention with an immersive outdoor experience that’s sure to delight fans of all ages.

The Fun-Ergy Factory, located at booth #4113 on the convention center floor, promises to be a must-visit destination for anyone looking for interactive challenges, immersive moments, and must-share photo opportunities inspired by Nickelodeon’s beloved franchises, including Spongebob Squarepants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But that’s not all – Nickelodeon has also planned a massive outdoor activation called ‘Fun Flows Here’ at The New Children’s Museum’s park, located at 200 W. Island Ave. This multi-activity activation is free to the public from Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26.

At The ‘Fun-Ergy Factory’ (Inside The Convention Center), fans will work together to generate ‘fun-ergy’ through interactive challenges that build toward the ultimate playful payoff – a nearly 20-foot-tall Slime Surge. ‘Enter the Splat,’ a tactile fully immersive environment, will allow fans to step into Nickelodeon’s iconic world and capture surprise photo and video moments.

Another highlight of the Fun-Ergy Factory will be the ‘Enter the World of TMNT’ photo op, where fans can pose alongside the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a sewer lair setting. Retail items, including TMNT x G.I. Joe collectible figures, BossLogic x Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game Character limited edition art print, and the Avatar: The Last Airbender – Book 3: Fire (Music from the Animated Series) vinyl soundtrack album, will also be available for purchase.

Throughout the day, fans can expect to meet their favorite Nickelodeon characters and participate in daily giveaways. The Fun-Ergy Factory promises to be an unforgettable experience that will leave fans of all ages with a lasting impression of the iconic Nickelodeon brand.

But the fun doesn’t stop there – Nickelodeon has also planned a range of outdoor activities at The New Children’s Museum’s park, including an interactive stage show hosted by Kids Imagine Nation, featuring performances, games, and entertainment inspired by fan-favorite series, including Paw Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Thundermans, and Star Trek: Scouts.

Shareable photo installations featuring Spongebob Squarepants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Kids’ Choice Awards will provide the perfect backdrop for fans to capture memories with their friends and family. A signature Nickelodeon slime booth will give select fans the chance to step inside and get drenched in the iconic green goo.

Family movie night on Friday, July 25 (7:00-9:00 PM) will feature a screening of The Spongebob Movie: Search For Squarepants. Hands-on experiences, including Nickelodeon Our World kids’ empowerment activities, make-your-own slime, and bubble play for fans of all ages, plus live animated character-drawing demos, DJ sets, prize raffles, and giveaways, will round out the outdoor activities.

Museum members will receive an exclusive invitation to a special preview event on Thursday, July 23. Note that The New Children’s Museum will be closed to the public from July 21-26 and will reopen on Monday, July 27.
