Fully indoor park at Mall of America with junior rides like PAW Patrol Adventure Bay, family rides like the Log Chute, and thrill coasters. Always 72°F regardless of season.

Great place to take the family

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for mixed-age groups with toddlers through tweens. Younger kids own the junior zone; thrill rides satisfy older children and teens. Rain or shine viability makes it a go-to for Minnesota winters. Expect higher crowds on weekends and school holidays.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Buy wristbands online in advance — weekday deals regularly discount unlimited ride passes
Start in the junior zone when it opens, then move to thrill rides as crowds build later in the day
🎟️The food court above the park is a good regrouping spot with a full view of the ride floor
🚗Ride closures rotate for maintenance — check the park's schedule page before visiting

Great time, and something for everyone! Very pricey though. My kids loved the log ride and the paw patrol area the most. Also love that you can look above the park from the food court.

Overview

Nickelodeon Universe packs more than two dozen rides across three tiers into the climate-controlled core of Mall of America. Youngest visitors gravitate to Diego's Rescue Rider, Rugrats Reptarmobiles, and the PAW Patrol Adventure Bay zone. Families tackle the Log Chute and Ghost Blasters together, as older kids hit the SpongeBob Rock Bottom Plunge, TMNT Shell Shock, and the Fairly Odd Coaster. Blacklight mini-golf and adventure golf round out the non-ride options.
