Nickelodeon is officially bringing the ultimate celebration of “kid-ness” to Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) 2026. This year, the entertainment powerhouse is doubling down on its signature spirit of play with two massive activations: the interactive “FUN-ERGY FACTORY” on the convention center floor and “Fun Flows Here,” a larger-than-life outdoor experience at The New Children’s Museum Park.

Whether you are a lifelong fan or introducing a new generation to your favorite cartoons, Nickelodeon’s 2026 lineup promises nonstop play, nostalgic throwbacks, and of course plenty of iconic green slime.

Stepping Outside: The “Fun Flows Here” Outdoor Experience

For the first time, Nickelodeon is expanding far beyond the walls of the convention center. Partnering with The New Children’s Museum, Nickelodeon is taking over the museum’s park area to deliver a free, public, multi-activity destination designed to supercharge kid energy on a massive scale.

Note for Museum Visitors: The New Children’s Museum will be closed to the public from July 21–26, reopening on Monday, July 27. Museum members will receive an exclusive invitation to a special preview event on Thursday, July 23.

Outdoor Activation Highlights:

• Interactive Stage Show: Hosted by Kids Imagine Nation, the main stage will feature high-energy performances, games, and entertainment inspired by hits like PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Thundermans, and Star Trek: Scouts.
• Getting Slimed! The signature Nickelodeon Slime Booth gives select lucky fans the chance to step inside and experience the ultimate honor: getting completely drenched in legendary green goo.
• Epic Photo Installations: Pose with larger-than-life setups themed around SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the Kids’ Choice Awards.
• Friday Family Movie Night: On Friday, July 25 (7:00–9:00 PM), grab a spot at the park for a special outdoor screening of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.
• Hands-on Creativity & Play: Fans can enjoy bubble play, DJ sets, prize raffles, live animated character-drawing demos, Nickelodeon Our World kids’ empowerment activities, and a station to mix and make your own slime to take home.

Whether you’re hunting down rare Avatar vinyl, looking to meet the Turtles, or trying to get coated in green slime, Nickelodeon is shaping up to be the absolute heart of fun at San Diego Comic-Con 2026.
