How many of you love going on rides? My whole family enjoys going on rides often. I personally love all types of rides. I’m always the first one to want to check out any thrill rides. I’m a huge lover of heights and will jump at the chance to go on anything thrilling. The only problem with this, is that they’re normally outside. That means during Winter we can’t go to any amusement parks since they’re outside and they don’t operate them in Winter.
Luckily for us there are some rides inside the Mall of America. This place is called the Nickelodeon Universe. Do you have any places nearby that have an indoor amusement park? I think it’s great that they have one at this mall. I’m still about an hour and a half away from this mall, but I do love to go here. Of course Nickelodeon Universe is one of the many reasons we love this mall.
I was actually given some free passes so that my family could enjoy going to Nickelodeon Universe. My daughters had no idea where we were taking them until I told them when we got there and passed by it. We wanted it to be a surprise, and it worked as a great surprise. There are many different types of passes that you can choose from. We got some point passes as well as some all day passes. Each of the rides have points on them, so that’s how the point passes work. Once you use up all the points your pass is no good. The all day passes are nice because there is no limit to what you can ride. You can ride from the time they open til the time they close.
The first ride we decided to go on was Diego’s Rescue Rider. This ride will swing a round and a round both forwards and backwards. I thought this was a nice ride for kids because it’s not to scary yet it’s fun enough for them to really enjoy it. Another awesome thing about these kids rides, is that chaperons can ride for free. If it’s a child’s ride you can ride with them without a pass. Lets say it’s just you and your kids. Then your kids would have to get a pass, but you wouldn’t have to if you plan to just ride with them. I thought that was a really nice of them. Most places I go make you pay for riding with your children when they can’t ride alone.
I wanted to get a nice photo of my daughters at the Bubble Guppies ride before we went on. All of these rides are made to look just like the Nickelodeon shows and I think they did a great job at displaying that. Since it’s named Nickelodeon Universe I’m sure you all know that all the rides are based on Nickelodeon shows.
The Bubble Guppies had a ride called the Guppy Bubbler. If you love rides that spin around, then this is the ride for you. This ride will take you up in the air a bit and you can control how fast you want to spin. My daughters usually love spinning around very fast. This is one of those classic rides that I absolutely love. Many kids enjoy being able to spin around.
The Dora and Boots Ferris Wheel was called the El Circulo Del Cielo. This was a really big Ferris Wheel too. I don’t know what it is about Ferris Wheels that my daughters really seem to love. I think they may like it because you can see everything when you’re going around. That and it’s a slower ride, so sometimes it’s nice to just relax on a ride.
The Splat-O-Sphere was one of our favorite rides. If you have ever gone up very high on a ride and then get dropped down and loved it, then you’d love this ride too. That’s exactly what this ride does. It will bring you up 60 feet. Then it really becomes fun once you get dropped down. My daughters really liked this ride too. I think they love rides that are a thrill as much as I do.
We didn’t go on all the rides, but I still took some photos of them. This was one of them that we didn’t go on. This is the Jimmy Neutron’s Atomic Collider. I would say this is a great ride for kids. It will take you around in a circle up in the air.
The Avatar Airbender was another ride that we didn’t end up going on. Although I would have loved to go on this ride, I didn’t get the chance to. It certainly looked like a ton of fun. This ride will rock you back and forth and reach heights of 70 feet.
There were so many amazing rides, and my whole family had so much fun. If you’re ever in the area or head to the Mall of America, I hope that you would check out Nickelodeon Universe. I’m sure we’ll be back there again too. There were some rides that we never got to go on that I’m sure we’d love to go on next time we visit. It’s a great place for families to have some fun.
What types of rides do you love to go on? Do any of these rides look like fun to you?

It’s a ton of fun! Such a great place to visit with you go to the mall.
That looks like a ton of fun for any kid. I’m not surprised there’s something that big in Mall of America. That place is like an indoor city.
Right! It’s so much fun there. It’s a very decent size mall too.
Of course there would be a mini theme park in Mall of America. That place is absolutely ginormous. We went there once, and I don’t think we made it through the entire thing.
I agree. It’s a very big mall. We all had such a wonderful time there. Lots of fun!
Oh wow! I have not been there in years! The last time I was there it was called Camp Snoopy (yup totally dating myself here). I need to get back there and check out all the changes.
I remember when it was called that too! This was our first time going, so this was so much fun for us.
This looks like so much fun! I’ve never been to the Mall of America but I bet my kids would love it there!
It was a lot of fun. This was our first time going, so it went well.
This looks SO cute and fun for kiddos. Our malls dont have anything cool 🙁 lol
It was a ton of fun. Our whole family enjoyed it.
My kids would love this! We live quite a ways away though but it looks like a lot of fun!
It was a ton of fun. Maybe if you’re ever in the area you can check it out.
My bucket list definitely includes the Mall of America. I think all of those rides look like so much fun! I bet the experience is really amazing!
It was an amazing experience. We all had a ton of fun. I would definitely go back again.
Oh my gosh, I’d have a blast there. I love riding all sorts of rides but since my failed back surgery, I can’t ride any that bumps or slings me against anything. I’m not sure I could ride any of these.
They are so much fun. I love all kinds of rides too. I’m sorry to hear you wouldn’t be able to ride them.
Aww, this looks like such a fun place. I really need to plan another big trip up north so we can visit the Mall of America.
I’m sure you would really enjoy it too! It was so much fun. I plan to go back again sometime.
When I went to Minnesota, I was so close to MOA. I could have walked there but sadly time did not permit.
Hopefully you’ll be able to check it out next time. It’s a great mall, and Nickelodeon Universe is so much fun!
Mall of America is an amazing place to go. You can spend the entire day there with the kids and never get bored. I can not wait to go back.
I completely agree! Awesome to see that you’ve been too. Did you get to go to Nickelodeon Universe?
This sounds like so much fun. I have heard that the Mall of America is cool. I haven’t ever been. I love coasters and thrill rides but I am off limits for now. I had back surgery in December.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you recover soon. MOA is definitely a great mall and Nickelodeon Universe was a ton of fun.
How much fun. I’ve never heard of this place.
It’s so much fun. My daughters had a great time.
how fun. heck i would have fun there myself. lol. i know a few kiddies that I would love to take and would love to go.
It was a ton of fun. It’s great for everyone of all ages. I certainly had a great time on the rides.
I’ve never been to the Mall of America but having an entertainment area would make my kids day complete when we shopping. This looks like so much fun!
It was a lot of fun. It’s great that they have this in the mall for many reasons. If my kids were old enough to be on their own I’d let them go to Nickelodeon Universe while I shopped.
This looks like a lot of fun! I’ve never been to the Mall of America but I know my son would love it there!
It certainly was a lot of fun. It’s great for everyone!
My son loves Nickelodeon. I have no doubt he’ll have a blast in that place especially those rides.
That’s great to hear! I’m sure he’d have a lot of fun too.
Wow! This post is making me feel like a little kid again (and wish that I was!). This looks like the Nickelodeon of my generation and I think this would be SO MUCH FUN!
It was a lot of fun! I enjoyed going on all these rides with my girls. We loved it.
That is a great place to take the grand kids to! My little sweethearts love Nickelodeon and they would feel like they are living in a dream! Thanks for letting me know about this. We’d have to include this in our summer vacation planning.
You’re welcome. I hope you all have an amazing time! It certainly was a lot of fun for my family.
How fun! This would be a brilliant way to keep the kids happy while mom shops!
Definitely! I wish my girls were old enough to be able to go to Nickelodeon Universe on their own. We’ll be going back when they get older too.
Looks like so much fun place. Every kids would love to go there, not also the kids, the adults too.
Yep! I’m an adult and I loved it. The rides were a blast.
That looks like a really fun place to take the kiddos. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. It was a ton of fun!
Wow, they look like they had a blast out there. What a beautiful place to bring the kids.
They certainly did. It was a wonderful experience.
Omg I had no idea Nick had stuff at the Mall or America! Then again it’s been many years since I have taken a shopping trip there 😉
It’s such a wonderful place. My whole family really enjoyed going.
This is such an amazing mall. We’d love to visit there. My son would have so much fun. I admit so would I. LOL
I certainly had fun, so you can admit it. LOL! 🙂
This is like a kid’s dream come true! I grew up on Nick so it would be so awesome to visit Nickelodeon Universe!
I grew up watching it as well. My girls still watch the shows and love them! We had an amazing time.
I have never visited the Mall of America but would love to when I am out there! Who doesn’t love a good theme park and thrill rides?
You’ll have to let me know what you think of it when you visit. My family had a ton of fun.
This looks like a great place! So fun!
It was a ton of fun. We all loved it!
Wow Mall of America looks so cool. My daughter could spend the entire day there and she is a huge fan of bubble guppies. We opening a Mall of Africa soon.
That’s awesome to hear! That sounds like it would be a fun mall too. Nickelodeon Universe certainly was a ton of fun.
