Türkiye's first-ever Nickelodeon theme park land, opening at The Land of Legends in Antalya next month, has been described as "a significant step forward for the Turkish tourism industry"
Due to open its gates on January 15th, 2025, Nickelodeon Land marks a significant expansion ahead of The Land of Legends’ 10th anniversary in 2026. For Rixos, the owner-operator of the park, however, it represents much more than that. A spokesperson for the brand said the new land “is a key project and investment for Türkiye.
"The collaboration between The Land of Legends and Paramount Global’s Nickelodeon, one of the world’s biggest entertainment brands, reflects the growth of the Turkish hospitality and entertainment industry."
While The Land of Legends' relatively recent arrival on the global theme park landscape makes it a new proposition for many, the intellectual properties providing the basis for the three areas of Nickelodeon Land will undoubtedly feel familiar to many.
The Rixos spokesperson continued, saying that the areas, inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants; PAW Patrol; and Star Trek: Prodigy, "each offer something entirely unique... from riding the giant Jellyfish Jam swing in Bikini Bottom, to experiencing an adventure through space in the Star Trek: Wild Galaxy 5D cinema and flying high in Skye’s Flyers helicopter-style ride.
"Nickelodeon Land is full of brand-new attractions perfect for adrenaline seekers and family adventures."
Beyond the theme park's three themed lands, guests will be welcomed at another Türkish first: the nation’s first and only Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts property. The spokesperson continued, “Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya offers guests the opportunity to live out their dreams and let the imagination run wild, all for an affordable price."
Rooms at the hotel have been extensively themed around the trio of series found in the parks, as well as DORA the Explorer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; guests lucky enough to be staying at the property will enjoy plenty of perks, the spokesperson revealed. “A key differentiator for The Land of Legends is the fact guests staying at Rixos Properties in Antalya have complimentary, unlimited access to the theme park – taking away the additional cost of park admission and allowing guests to visit as frequently as they like.”
Nickelodeon Land is due to open at The Land of Legends on January 15th, 2025.
