Nickelodeon Universe

How awesome to have an indoor theme park INSIDE a mall. We had a blast at the Mall of America – Nickelodeon Universe! There are enough rides and attractions for your family to be entertained the entire day.

You do not need to pay to enter. You can either purchase an unlimited ride wristband (RECOMMENDED) or purchase points for your favorite rides.

I’m glad that I purchased when I arrived, as my husband had no interest in riding anything.

Nickelodeon Universe will not disappoint!

Fun and unique experience. The prices are reasonable. 50 for unlimited per person or you can buy points. The Big rides are 6 points and small rides 3. We bought 50 points for 60(after tax) and the kids went on several rides having a ton of fun.

Super convenient, since there is a mall with dozens of food and snack options in walking distance.

I visited Nickelodeon Universe for my birthday with my husband, and we had such a fun time! The rides, atmosphere, and overall energy made it a great way to celebrate. That said, nothing will ever replace Camp Snoopy as it will always hold a special place in my heart.

The Pepsi Orange Streak roller coaster was a blast, and the SpongeBob Rock Bottom Plunge is definitely one for adrenaline junkies. We also learned that some rides are only open during certain hours, so make sure to take note of that and plan accordingly. And fair warning that if you go on the log ride, you will get drenched! I don’t remember it soaking me that much as a kid, but we came off absolutely soaked.

One thing I wish Nickelodeon Universe did better is provide more transparency with the ticket system. We had to walk around to figure out how many tickets each ride required, which was a little frustrating. It would be so helpful to have a clear list posted right at the ticket kiosk showing how many tickets each ride takes. That way, guests can plan and buy the right amount upfront without guesswork.

Overall, I really enjoyed celebrating here, but a little more clarity on ticketing would make the experience even better! There’s a variety of rides, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

In August 2025, we visited the Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Nickelodeon Universe is an indoor amusement park that is in the middle of the Mall of America. It has roller coasters, a Ferris Wheel, log flume, climbing walls, and other similar rides and attractions. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and it is open year-round regardless of the weather. There are many colorful themes involving the Nickelodeon characters. We hope to return in the future when we have more time to enjoy taking more of the rides.

Such a cool adventure for the kids!!! We got them a wrist band for the day but they also have other options to choose from for kid’s to ride rides, not everything is included and some of the rides state that socks are mandatory. We think prices are worth it. The kids had so much fun! No lines so no waiting to get on rides.

An absolute great time at Nickelodeon universe. You can buy tickets at the kiosk or inside the gift shop. The gift shop has lots of great souvenirs and licensed products. Lots of different rides to choose from- everything from kid friendly to more extreme rides. Definitely something that is sure to please all ages and thrill seekers alike. They have pretty cool claw machines to try out as well.

So much to do here!
There’s a great variety of rides to go on, in a relatively small space- don’t let that fool you into thinking this place is small!! These are full sized rides!
Most of the wait lines are not excessive- 20 minutes for the most part when we were there- and you can quickly get to your destination!
There’s a thrill for everyone here, from tots, to adrenaline junkies!

My kids loved it. They said this one was better and less crowded than the NJ. Some rides were closed but the most popular ones were open. The 2 day deal was better for us.
