Sensory help, in the park's words

“A designated Sensory Room in Nickelodeon Universe is available for guests who feel overstimulated.”

“Guests can use the space to regulate and then exit to allow others the opportunity to do the same.”

“Security and Guest Services teams have noise-reducing headphones available during emergencies or high-stimulation situations.”

“Nickelodeon Universe is a Certified Autism Center.” mallofamerica.com

  • The Sensory Room is near Pepsi® Orange Streak, one of the louder rides. Ask park Guest Services to point you to the door when you arrive.
  • The ride guide rates light and sound for all 29 rides. Pick two or three low ones together before you go, and keep one as a backup.
  • You're welcome to bring your own headphones, fidgets or comfort items.

  • Rides need an Unlimited Ride Wristband (from $41.99 plus tax) or points (from $4.25 plus tax). Buying tickets online before you go saves a line.
  • You can enter and leave the park at four spots: North, East, West and South.
  • Parking is free in the ramps and surface lots. The West Ramp and the North Lot are closest to the park. Levels 1 and 4 of each ramp have the most accessible spots and the most direct step-free way in; blue lights over a row mean accessible spaces are open.
  • Mall Guest Services desks are at the East, North and West entrances on level one. Strollers and wheelchairs rent there ($12 a day each; strollers need a refundable $25 deposit, and car seats don't fit them). All-day lockers come in several sizes.
  • Some rides have flashing lights or strobe effects, and costumed characters sometimes walk through the park.
  • Lost someone? Tell the nearest mall worker or security officer, or call Security at 952-883-8888. For first aid, go to Guest Services.
