Nickelodeon Announces Slime-Fueled San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Outdoor Fun

Nickelodeon is set to make a splash at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, bringing fans a full lineup of slime-forward experiences that stretch from the convention hall to the surrounding outdoor community space.

At the event, attendees can stop by Nick’s Fun-Ergy Factory at booth number 4113 on the convention center floor. The network is promising visitors a hands-on setup featuring “interactive challenges, immersive moments and must-share photo opportunities” drawn from several of its most recognizable franchises, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Nickelodeon will also be rolling out a large outdoor activation called “Fun Flows Here” at The New Children’s Museum’s park, located at 200 W. Island Ave. This multi-activity experience is free for the public on Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26.

Here are the official details for Nickelodeon’s SDCC activities.
