Since then, millions of guests have enjoyed the seven-acre park’s 27 rides, attractions, and character favorites, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Fairly OddParents, and PAW Patrol,

Guests at Nickelodeon Universe can meet characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents and more.

“We are so happy to be celebrating 15 years of thrilling moments and amazing memories at Nickelodeon Universe,” said Jill Renslow, chief business development, and marketing officer at Mall of America. “Nickelodeon is such an iconic brand and loved by many. Offering countless interactive experiences and larger-than-life events at Nickelodeon Universe over the years has been a fun ride and we can’t wait to continue creating even more memories for fans of all ages.”

In honor of the occasion, Mall of America will host Nickelodeon-themed events throughout the year. The Nickelodeon fun starts with the park’s birthday week.
