Nickelodeon Land

Creative Tourist
Patrick, SpongeBob and Squidward at the UK's only Nickelodeon Land.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort

This February half term, Nickelodeon Land will open exclusively so friends and families can get their first thrill-fix of the year – for half the price of a regular eTicket.

Combine the thrill of an amusement park with the colourful world of Nickelodeon at the UK’s only Nickelodeon Land, located within Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort.

Bringing to life characters from the world of Nickelodeon, this vibrant area of the Pleasure Beach is a must-visit for families on their jollies in Blackpool. Little thrill seekers can work their way around 12 themed rides, including rollercoasters like Nickelodeon Streak and Avatar Airbender, and – for the youngest one – more gentler adventures like the Fairy World Taxi Spin, Bikini Bottom Bus Tour and Diego’s Rainforest Rescue.

Between rides, there’s live entertainment on offer in the form of fun-loving parades and meet-and-greet sessions with beloved characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From face-painting to live music, the team here tend try to keep things fresh each and every week, so you’re guaranteed some surprises on the day!

Themed food stalls and on-site shops feature a wide variety of merchandise that will have little ones tugging on your coat sleeve, so be warned – you may just have to take home a piece of the magic.

Fancy staying close by? It doesn’t get any closer than The Boulevard Hotel or, if you want to stay where the stars of Dancing on Ice rest their head in Blackpool, The Big Blue Hotel. Both are family friendly, and among our favourite hotels in the town.
