The New Children’s Museum has partnered with Nickelodeon to bring SpongeBob-themed activities and a free slime experience to downtown San Diego during Comic-Con.<\/p>\n

SAN DIEGO \u2014 The New Children’s Museum<\/a> is bringing a little piece of Bikini Bottom to downtown San Diego as Comic-Con returns this weekend.<\/p>\n

The museum has\u00a0partnered with Nickelodeon<\/a> to offer SpongeBob SquarePants-themed activities for families, along with a free outdoor experience right by the San Diego Convention Center.<\/p>\n

Visitors inside the museum took part in slime making, a SpongeBob scavenger hunt and other themed activities throughout the week.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Elizabeth Yang-Hellewell, CEO of the New Children’s Museum, said the partnership is a natural fit.<\/p>\n

“We are a museum that is based in creativity and imagination, and Nickelodeon with all of their classic characters and shows. They are also interested in creativity and imagination, and so it just pairs beautifully with everything that we’re doing here at NCM,” she said.<\/p>\n

The museum will be closed Tuesday through Sunday to prepare for Nickelodeon’s free “Fun Flows Here” experience, which opens in the New Children’s Museum Park across the street.<\/p>\n

The outdoor pop-up will feature<\/a> an interactive stage hosted by Kids Imagine Nation, photo opportunities, a family movie night on Friday and Nickelodeon’s signature slime booth.<\/p>\n

“People are going to be slimed in that sort of classic ’90s Dare Double Dare fashion. So, if you remember those, just people being slimed from overhead, that is going to be happening in the park activation. I’m actually going to get slimed on Thursday evening,” Yang-Hellewell said.<\/p>\n

A News 8 reporter will also be slimed live on-air during Thursday’s 6:30 p.m. broadcast. The free event will be open to the public Friday through Sunday.<\/p>\n

“There’s a few activations throughout San Diego happening right now that are truly family-friendly, and this is one of them. And we think it’s perfect that it’s right across the street from us. It is in our park,” Yang-Hellewell said.<\/p>\n

The museum will remain closed through the weekend while the outdoor event takes over the park. It is scheduled to reopen Monday.<\/p>\n

“This is the first time that we partnered with Nickelodeon, so we’re excited about it, and hopefully we can continue this partnership and bring more Nickelodeon characters to the museum,” Yang-Hellewell said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New Children’s Museum has partnered with Nickelodeon to bring SpongeBob-themed activities and a free slime experience to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-406023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
