The ideal day out for any young family is set to arrive in Scotland this summer as The Nickelodeon Experience heads to the UK next month for its very first summer tour.
The outdoor experience, which kicks off its UK tour in Edinburgh from July 2, is set to bring to life the very best of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., for what the organisers say will be an "unforgettable family day out".
For the first time ever, kids will be able to go behind the scenes and get close to some of their favourite TV shows including PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants and Henry Danger.
Offering a variety of action-packed activities centred around Nickelodeon’s most popular TV shows, Kids TV fans can enjoy an exciting line-up of entertainment, including a timed immersive escape room, an interactive air maze, a pirate treasure hunt and the opportunity to get slimed.
Aimed at children of various ages, those kids aged between 7-14 can discover their superpowers in The Thundermans’ School for Superheroes or step inside an episode of Henry Danger where Nick fans must navigate 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.
There will be an opportunity to meet PAW Patrol fan-favourites Chase and Marshall, as well as taking part in a subterranean adventure in The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ underground lair.
Budding explorers can also jump on board a giant pirate ship and hunt for treasure in an immersive play zone based on the swashbuckling world of Santiago of The Seas.
A spokesperson for Nickelodeon stated: "Visitors will also be able to cool off and chill out in SpongeBob’s Bikini Bottom Beach, where they can relax, eat, and refuel after all the fun.
"Then, as the perfect way to finish up an unforgettable day, kids can head to the Slime Time Party to get SLIMED before heading to The Nickelodeon Experience store to take home the perfect memento."
Capacities are limited but you can book your tickets now at www.thenickelodeonexperience.co.uk.
Kids (aged 2 to 14) tickets start at £29.50 and infants under two years old go free.
