Nickelodeon is inviting fans inside its FUN-ERGY FACTORY at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2026, to help generate fun, unleash slime and get soaked in the ultimate celebration of kid-ness. The FUN-ERGY FACTORY brings the brand’s signature spirit of play to life inside its 1,800-square-foot booth (#4113) on the convention center floor, where kids of all ages power the experience through interactive challenges, immersive moments and must-share photo opportunities inspired by Nickelodeon’s beloved franchises, including SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER and TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.
