Nickelodeon Announces ‘Fun-ergy Factory’ Experience at San Diego Comic-Con 2026

Nickelodeon has announced a “slime-fueled” experience at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2026 that expands beyond the convention center floor.

At the brand’s 1,800-square-foot booth in the convention center, fans can experience interactive challenges and photo opportunities inspired by Nickelodeon franchises like “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” 

Across 1,800 square feet, attendees can generate “fun-ergy” through challenges culminating in a nearly 20-foot tall Slime Surge, capture themed photos and videos, shop retail items and participate in daily giveaways and character appearances.

This year, Nickelodeon is introducing “Fun Flows Here,” an outdoor activation in partnership with The New Children’s Museum in downtown San Diego. The activity zone is free to the public July 23 to July 26 at the Museum park.

Kids Imagine Nation will host an interactive stage show with performances, games and entertainment inspired by series like “Paw Patrol,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “The Thundermans” and “Star Trek: Scouts.” Fans can get slimed with the iconic green goo at a Nickelodeon slime booth and take photos at installations featuring “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and Kids’ Choice Awards. Nickelodeon Our World will host kids’ activities like make-your-own slime, bubble play, DJ sets and live raffles. “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants” will screen at a family movie night event on Friday, July 24, at 7 p.m. 

Museum members will receive an invitation to a special preview event on July 23. The New Children’s Museum will be closed to the public July 21 to July 26.
