Nickelodeon Universe is the 7-acre indoor amusement park located at the Mall of America. It features all-ages fun from a Blues Clues toddler play area to grown up thrill rides. When your kid comes home from school and says: “Why don’t we ever get to go to the Mall of America” and you think: “We were just there a few months ago,” what they actually mean by “Mall of America” is Nickelodeon Universe. To kids, the Mall of America and Nickelodeon Universe are synonymous. Even if you never ride the rides, there is a little tiny bit of their heart that truly believes THIS TIME they are going to get to go on rides. Otherwise, why would they want to go to a giant mall. It is just like a regular size mall except a LOT more walking. I’m just sharing this little piece of parenting wisdom because it took me awhile to figure this out. The park hosts entertainment and character meets through the year, sometimes in conjunction with the greater Mall of America. Nickelodeon often hosts FREE Toddler Tuesday events. They also have holiday-related entertainment. Particularly look for Halloween activities in October and kid-friendly New Years Eve activities. Your easiest options for dining are just above Nickelodeon Universe in the third-floor food court.

Birthday party packages for the park include a free wristband for the birthday child. You choose between 3-hour wristbands and 5-hour wristbands. You must purchase at least seven wristbands. There is no admission to visit the park, but individual rides are priced on a point basis, wit the cheaper rides costing about $4 and the more expensive rides just over $8. Unlimited ride wristbands work like an all-access ticket and are available and priced according to peak and non-peak days. Find Special Attraction Prices Here. Rides range from 3pt ($4.05) rides to 6pt ($8.10) rides, with the smaller point rides usually being most appealing to the smaller kids. Find all the current rides here. Since we are not tourists and can visit more often, another budget option is to limit the kids to one ride per visit. With the law of diminishing returns, you’re first $3.80 may be your. While there are plenty of roller coaster thrill rides for big kids and adults, these rides will appeal to the younger kids. In my experience, as an adult chaperone, I have been allowed to ride with my little ones for free on some of these kiddie rides. I don’t know if this is an official policy or a judgment call by the ride operators. I would recommend taking little kids on less busy days: *Some of these rides may be closed for health and safety reasons. Nickelodeon Universe can be a fun family splurge outing any time of the year. With rides and entertainment for all ages and plenty of restaurants in the mall, you can keep busy without ever leaving the Mall of America. Plan your visit with our Mall of America Family Guide.
