Family favourite television network Nickelodeon has launched a new immersive event kicking off this summer - and it's only a short drive away from Liverpool.
The famed channel's new outdoor event, The Nickelodeon Experience, aims to be an epic adventure for the entire family. This first-of-its-kind experience will be touring the UK from July 2022, and is coming to the largest park in Manchester, allowing families to step inside the world of Nickelodeon at the popular Heaton Park.
Adventure seekers, aged two to 14 years old, can explore their favourite Nickelodeon TV shows, while enjoying 10 activity zones. From multi-sensory and interactive adventures to creative and skill-based challenges, children get to map their own journey and create their own fun.

Ticket holders can go behind the scenes of some of Nickelodeon’s most popular shows including The Thundermans School for Superheroes, where they’ll learn to acquire their own super-powers. They'll also be able to experience an episode of Henry Danger, complete with Henry Danger’s Maze full of secret twists, turns, puzzles and passages. They can also race against the clock to solve the Hunter Street Escape Room mystery, which puts teamwork to the test in an attempt to crack the code and find the key.
The fun continues with a venture to Adventure Bay, as well as an opportunity to meet PAW Patrol’s fan-favourites Chase and Marshall, to a sub-terranean adventure in The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ underground lair, complete with ooze covered tunnels. There'll also be an arts and crafts zone featuring Baby Shark’s Big Show and Blue’s Clues themed activities.
Attendees can also jump on a giant pirate ship, play in rock pools, and make a splash in an immersive play zone based on the swashbuckling world of Santiago of The Seas. For the perfect finale to the experience, ticket holders are invited to the Slime Time Party to finally know how it feels to get slimed – the ultimate Nickelodeon honour.
Alongside these immersive zones, children and their parents can relax at SpongeBob SquarePants’ Bikini Bottom Beach, where they can also indulge in a range of themed food and beverage stalls. They can also visit the Nickelodeon store to take home a memento from the extensive line-up of exclusive Nickelodeon Experience merchandise.

To have such an iconic catalogue of shows, including global brands like PAW Patrol, The Thundermans and SpongeBob SquarePants under the Nickelodeon umbrella is a treasure trove of content to explore and bring to life, and where better to do so than in Heaton Park.”
