Parques Reunidos has opened their newest attraction in the intu Xanadú mall – “Nickelodeon Adventure” Madrid.
The attraction is the result of an agreement between Parques Reunidos and Viacom International Media Networks.
Various zones will be themed to popular Nickelodeon characters. In the Spongebob Squarepants zone, visitors can do jellyfish races, play an organ made of corals or obtain their sailing license at the boating school. Other zones are themed to Paw Patrol, Dora the Explorer and The Fairly OddParents – as well as a Ninja Turtles adventure course and a Rugrats zone for toddlers.
Other features of the attraction will be a birthday room, interactive area, 4D cinema and educational areas for schools. Visitors will be able to take a photo home as a souvenir of their day.
Official merchandise will be available at the Nickelodeon Store, and snacks and drinks at the Slime Cafe.
Jesús Fernández, Chief Operating Officer of Europe at Parques Reunidos, said: “After the success at Parque de Atracciones de Madrid’s Nickelodeon Land and Movie Park Germany’s NickLand, facilities like the ones at Xanadú allow us to offer families an opportunity to experience Nickelodeon in a different and innovative way through the activities and technology they will find at centers like the one opening now in Madrid.”
