Nickelodeon have announced the opening of a new theme park resort in Türkiye that will feature the brand’s most recognisable characters. The 8th resort in the company’s repertoire, the new Antalyan attraction will sit alongside seven existing Nickelodeon destination hotels at Punta Cana, Riviera Maya and Dubai, and other parks across the US, UK, Spain, Australia, China and Malaysia.
Legendary Nickelodeon characters
Set to open on 15 January 2025, the new Nickelodeon Land in the Mediterranean coastal town of Belek will join Adventure Land, Aqua Land, and the Tropic Lagoon making up Antalya’s Land of Legends or so-called “Turkish Disneyland”.
According to a press release, the new resort accommodation will be themed with popular characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek and PAW Patrol stylings across 211 rooms and 27 suites.
Character actors will welcome guests in the lobby and kids will enjoy a diary full of PlayStations, dance machines and a sweet bar, as well as Club Nick’s facilities and activities. Meanwhile adults can relax in the spa, or visit the private fitness centre, Turkish baths, or head poolside.
Entertainment for everyone
While you’re indulging in a massage or a pilates session, it will all be going off in the new park attractions. A giant “Jellyfish Jam” ride will swing visitors through an underwater Bikini Bottom location from SpongeBob SquarePants. The Star Trek: Wild Galaxy 5D cinema offers space adventures, and the PAW Patrol will take the brave on an open air ‘Skye’s Flyers’ helicopter ride.
Other family-friendly, high octane action is on hand over at the Turtle Coaster, one of the world’s longest water slides at 457-metres length and where thrill seekers can reach speeds of 24 km/h in 4-person boats. Or the park invites you to “get behind the wheel in Traffic Trouble! Whether you want to show off your driving skills or improve yourself.” But watch out for obstacles laid by PAW Patrol’s Mayor Humdinger.
Other facilities
To top up energy levels, hospitality options planned for the resort hotel include Character Dining, Le Spatula, and the Snick Lounge and Vitamin Bar. There will also be musical parades and a range of restaurants within the park itself.
And, in addition to the all-inclusive service at the park resort, hotel guests will also benefit from complimentary one-day access to the nearby Rixos Premium Belek hotel. A shuttle service will deliver you to the door, behind which, according to press materials, more luxury spa facilities and a private beach await.
