A brand new outdoor immersive event is set to come to Edinburgh this summer with the arrival of The Nickelodeon Experience.
The 'first of its kind' event will come to the capital for two weeks this summer, with the 'epic adventure for the entire family' set for the city's Saughton Park.
Young adventure seekers between the ages of 2-14 years old will get the chance to explore the worlds created by their favourite Nickelodeon TV shows through ten different activity zones.
The experience, the first time in ten years a Nickelodeon event has taken place in Scotland, will enable kids to map their own journey and make their own fun via multi-sensory and interactive adventures to creative and skill-based challenges
Announcing the Nickelodeon Experience on Tuesday, organisers said: "Kids can go behind the scenes of some of Nickelodeon’s most popular shows including The Thundermans School for Superheroes where they’ll learn to acquire their own super-powers.

"Step into an episode of Henry Danger, where Nick fans must navigate Henry Danger’s Maze full of secret twists, turns, puzzles and passages.
"They can also race against the clock to solve the Hunter Street Escape Room mystery, which puts teamwork to the test in an attempt to crack the code and find the key.
"The adventures don’t stop there! From a trip to Adventure Bay with an opportunity to meet PAW Patrol’s fan-favourites Chase and Marshall, to a sub-terranean adventure in The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ underground lair, complete with ooze covered tunnels, Nick fans will be utterly captivated in this immersive outdoor adventure.
"What’s more, an arts and crafts zone featuring Baby Shark’s Big Show and Blue’s Clues themed activities awaits all budding artists.
"Attendees can also jump on a giant pirate ship, play in rock pools, and make a splash in an immersive play zone based on the swashbuckling world of Santiago of The Seas.
"For the perfect finale to the experience, you’re invited to the Slime Time Party to finally know how it feels to get SLIMED – the ultimate Nickelodeon honour!
"Alongside these immersive zones, children and their parents can relax at SpongeBob SquarePants’ Bikini Bottom Beach, where they can also sample delicious delights from the many themed food and beverage stalls and visit the Nickelodeon store and take home the perfect memento from an incredible range of exclusive Nickelodeon Experience merchandise."
The Nickelodeon Experience comes to Saughton Park from July 1 to July 14.
Kids tickets start at £29.50 and infants under two years old go free and tickets can be booked at www.thenickelodeonexperience.co.uk
George Wood, founder of The Luna Cinema says: "We cannot wait for the launch of The Nickelodeon Experience in Edinburgh this summer!
"For years we’ve wanted to develop a truly interactive experience that allowed kids to immerse themselves in the worlds of their favourite TV shows, just as we do with Friends fans at FriendsFest and film lovers with our Luna Cinema screenings, and it’s amazing to be able to bring Nickelodeon to families in Scotland for the first time in ten years!

"To have such an iconic catalogue of shows, including global brands like PAW Patrol, The Thundermans and SpongeBob SquarePants under the Nickelodeon umbrella is a treasure trove of content to explore and bring to life, and we’re really excited to make it happen.”
Virginia Monaghan, VP, Events and Experiences, ViacomCBS UK, commented: “We are thrilled to be partnering with The Luna Cinema to bring our hugely popular Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows to life through this uniquely immersive experience.
"This is a chance for children to make new memories with friends, in a safe and fun setting, and with their favourite characters.
"Nickelodeon hasn’t been to Scotland for ten years now, so it’s going to be extra special to be able to kick-start the nationwide tour in Edinburgh."
