Took my family to celebrate my child's birthday. We went on a Saturday and expected it to be packed for Spring Break, but it wasn't at all. Problem is that several of the rides weren't open, under maintence. We checked the app and knew of 3, but when we got there, 2 more were shut down. We only went on 4 of bigger rides, but even with that, they kept shutting down rides randomly. 3 rides we were on line for, was told to come back in 5 minutes for maintence and that they do so randomly, so it doesn't have issues?? With these shut downs, we went on the Shredder, to wait 40 minutes and so did everyine else apperntly. It might not seem like a long wait, but with an empty park and half of the rides closed, we were very disappointed. We had gotten the twilight passes and could have easily been on all of the rides, IF they were working properly. Several other patrons also said the same, and that we won't be returning.
I would suggest adding ride wait times to your app, besides maintenence of rides, which was not current while we were there. It may help people decide to not waste money and return later when more rides are open.

We went on spring break week - it wasn't very crowded but I think I discovered why. Same impressions as the other reviews.
Pros:
It's pretty
Cons:
While the rides are good for a small venue, half were closed
1/2 hr wait on big ones that were open
$79 ticket price is outrageous - especially if you have a large group.
Food/snack prices are outrageous for sub-par food.
Music is far to loud for such a slow paced environment
Attention of staff is lethargic and disinterested at best.
The blue train ride had 1/2 hr wait and was NEVER loaded fully, always 1/3 capacity - why?
Parking for the mall is atrocious! Severe lack of signage and direction, people veering around all over and inside the parking decks when they suddenly see where they needed to go - would rather drive through Newark airport.
There was and incident of some type while we were there on the back ride. The staff were scrambling around like untrained ants trying to block off a vast area - after some time, they reopened the surrounding space but not the ride. Determining whether the ride would be open was apparently priveliged information.
Negatives far outweigh the positives though = I do not recommend unless you money to burn and time to waste.

Fun rides. Long lines, over crowded, felt dirty. Women’s room had no toilet paper and stalls were not clean. Toddler play area did not feel well maintained. Very expensive day, not a great value. Did not enjoy the live shows and the character meets were reparative with only 2 characters (1 ninja turtle, 1 paw patrol) the whole day. We will choose to skip the park and explore other attractions at the mall moving forward.

American Dream over succeeded our expectations. Coming into the atmosphere we didn’t know what to expect but it most definitely was not what we experienced. Everyone we encountered was beyond friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I all enjoyed ourselves. We came only for the Nickelodeon Universe but after getting to the mall we got to experience that plus so much more. We will be back again!!

I went to Nickelodeon, for the price $79 was not worth it, all the rides was not open so that was more of a bummer enough there isn’t much rides. Over all the theme was cute. But won’t be visiting again.

While the kids (aged 6-8) that we took had a fun time on the rides they could go on, there were a few things that made this a disappointing experience.
1) The parking at the mall is atrocious. It took nearly an hour to find a parking spot because of how horribly their traffic management is. After finding parking it was another 40 min before we were in the park due to where we had to park and the VERY long line to get wristbands for the tickets we had already purchased.
2) Don't expect all the rides to be open. Even if they are not labeled as under maintenance, some rides won't be open due to what I expect is extreme under-staffing.
3) Due to staffing issues again, it takes FOREVER to turn over the people on one ride and get the next set on. This is not the Disney, Universal Studios, or even 6-Flags level of efficiency that you would expect for the price.
4) Not worth the cost at all. Seeing as you can spend a comparable amount (or cheaper) for other theme parks I would suggest you go there. The money will be better spent and you'll overall have a better time.

There is too few rides. Most rides are either for adults or little kids. There are very few rides for kids age 7 - 12 . The rides are very expansive and not much to do.
I would not recommend it for kids of even ages around 6 years to around 14 years old.

It was fun. We are a family of 7 with young children and also teenagers. There was rides for everyone but the ones my older kids wanted the most were closed. I suggest you check online before visiting to see what rides will be closed. We did the 2 park package and price was not bad taking into consideration we went during peak holiday (veterans day) and rides were unlimited. I did realized if you are not getting on rides you do not need to pay.
We lasted about 3 hours. Lines were average there was no need for fast pass.
Will I visit again? Yes
