Universal Studios Tours – Nickelodeon Blast Zone

If you bring younger kids, aged twelve and under, to

Universal Studios, they will probably be most

interested in the Nickelodeon Blast Zone. Featuring

three attractions in one, this is one of the few

attractions that really appeal to the younger crowd

at Universal Studios Tours, so you can expect them

to spend a great deal of time there.



Shaped like a huge orange rocket, the Nickelodeon

Blast Zone is a big hit. This is a huge play area

basically – and it is unlike any playground that your

kids have ever experienced. There are three

sections of the playground: The Wild Thornberry’s

Adventure Temple, Nickelodeon Splash, and The

Nick Jr. Backyard.



The Nick Jr. Backyard is the only place in Universal

Studios that will be of any interest to toddlers. In

fact, it is the only safe place for toddlers. If you

bring a toddler with you to Universal Studios Tours,

plan to spend the entire day here.



Nickelodeon Splash is a water area. Bring a

change of dry clothes, because the kids will get

soaked here. They can fill buckets of water in a fun

variety of ways, create waterfalls, and stand under

waterfalls. There are also many mounted water

guns to be used and enjoyed.



The Wild Thornberrys Adventure Temple is an

extensive playground. While here, you will have

foam balls flying through the air all over the place –

the kids are able to shoot and throw them, and

since they are made of soft foam, they are safe.



The kids can also meet many characters here,

including the Rugrats and Blue’s Clues Characters.

The attraction is located on the upper lot, and is

open everyday that the park is open. If you don’t

want your child to get wet, avoid this attraction

altogether, because with all of the water flying

around and being dumped, there is really no way to

avoid getting wet. If your child is too young to enjoy

the attraction by themselves, you will be getting

wet as well.



Overall, this is the only attraction that younger kids

will enjoy at Universal Studios Tours. As a parent or

guardian, you should expect to spend most of your

time here, and you should never leave your child

unattended. This is not a place to drop your kids off

for the day while you go enjoy other attractions.

Instead, use the buddy system with other

responsible adults in your party – one should stay

with the kids, while the other adults go enjoy the

attractions, and relieve each other often so everyone
