Nickelodeon brought fans together at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with two lively experiences: the “Fun-ergy Factory” inside the Convention Center and “Fun Flows Here” at the New Children’s Museum Park. Both were packed with interactive activities, photo opportunities, games and plenty of Nickelodeon nostalgia.

Inside the Convention Center, fans teamed up at the Fun-ergy Factory to power up toward a nearly 20-foot-tall Slime Surge. One of the standout experiences was “Enter the Splat,” an immersive environment where fans could step into Nickelodeon’s colorful world and capture surprise photo and video moments. The AR slime was amazing and added an extra playful touch to the experience.

The space also featured a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sewer lair photo op, talent and character appearances, daily giveaways and a selection of collectibles and merchandise. Highlights included TMNT x G.I. Joe figures, a limited-edition BossLogic x Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game art print, and the Avatar: The Last Airbender – Book 3: Firevinyl soundtrack.

Outside at the New Children’s Museum Park, “Fun Flows Here” kept the energy going with an interactive stage show hosted by Kids Imagine Nation. Performances, games and entertainment drew inspiration from PAW PATROL, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, THE THUNDERMANS and STAR TREK: SCOUTS. Fans could also visit photo installations featuring SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER and the KIDS’ CHOICE AWARDS.

The outdoor experience had something for fans of all ages, including Nickelodeon Our World empowerment activities, make-your-own slime, bubble play, character-drawing demonstrations, DJ sets, raffles and giveaways. And, of course, there was a signature slime booth where select fans got the chance to step inside and get drenched in Nickelodeon’s iconic green goo.

Nickelodeon’s Comic-Con experiences brought together beloved characters, hands-on fun and memorable slime-filled moments. Watch our videos on Instagram:
