Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America

Nickelodeon-Universe-Travel

In January, I visited the Mall of America with my daughters and was so excited to learn that the indoor theme park was now the themed Nickelodeon Universe! My daughters are Dora's biggest fans, and they were in Nick Jr. heaven!

If you are planning a visit to the Mall of America with little ones, you may want to block out an entire day for Nickelodeon Universe.

My youngest daughter (16 months) couldn't do much, but she stayed pretty content just trying to soak in all of the familiar images around her. Of course, her word of the day was Dora, which she shouted every time she saw her. My two-year-old surprised me by being quite the little dare-devil, and asking to ride everything!

I can't wait until our next visit so that I can bring my boys. They were pretty disappointed they missed out on the fun!

If you are taking toddlers you may want to consider going on Tuesday for Toddler Tuesday, because they have special coupons and toddlers east free at participating restaurants!

This Trip's Highlights:

  • Parents Ride FREE on any rise where a child cannot ride alone. This is great for parents who are alone with little ones and wouldn't get to ride anything or wouldn't want to! I don't know any parent who wants to pay to ride kiddie rides :).
  • The park is super clean, has spacious walkways (for easy stroller navigation), and the staff members are polite and friendly!
  • The restrooms are clean, easy to find, and have changing tables and toddler seats (I love those seats because they can save you from some pretty embarrassing "toddler opens the door before your ready" moments!).
  • This park is worth every penny (if you are buying the wrist band) because the rides are fun, the characters are great, and your kids will enjoy every minute.

Nickelodeon Universe Prices:

~ Each ride has a point value (I personally think this is only a good deal if you are only interested in riding 1 or 2 rides, or have very little time to spend at the park)

Nick Universe Character Meet & Greet

If your child has a favorite Nickelodeon or Nick Jr. character, you may want to check out the Meet & Greet schedule. From the looks of the schedule, the best days to visit are Fri- Sunday if you're looking to snag some photos of your child with their favorite TV pal!

    We visit every year as we're not too far from Bloomington - the older kids love the Flying Dutchman Rope Course for the price it's loads of entertainment and a great deal.

    That looks like such a great place for you to bring the kids. I love the idea that adults can ride free on the rides that the kids cannot ride alone.
    I really love the Military discount... Way to go Nickelodeon!! Thank you from this military family.
    Thanks for this info...
    Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family!
