by Gary Catig
is making a big splash at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2026 with its Fun-Ergy Factory activation at their typical spot on the exhibit floor. In addition, they have their Fun Flows Here activation taking over a big area in The New Children’s Museum Park. We went inside to see what it has to offer.
The Fun Flows Here activation has plenty of exciting offerings such as photo ops. Attendees could pose as SpongeBob SquarePants, with a background from Avatar: The Last Airbender, or as if you were at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards complete with the signature prize.

There were other family friendly activities including a decorate your own slime station. There was a stage with a DJ playing the hits. At certain times, fan-favorite characters would come out and provide interactive entertainment, especially for the young ones. We happened to catch Aang showcasing his expertise bending the four elements. Probably the biggest draw was the slime booth where a select few could live a childhood dream and become drenched in the iconic green goo.

For those who wanted a quick sketch, they could learn art from an actual Nickelodeon artist. Here we have SpongeBob SquarePants storyboard artist Zach Heffelfinger whipping up a Gary the Snail.

Plus, you can’t have an activation without giveaways. They supplied a SpongeBob ice cream and a cool bottle of Path water that hit the spot on a hot summer day, Also to help beat the heat attendees could choose between an umbrella hat or bucket hat to shield them from the sun.

The Fun Flows Here activation seems like a great place to cool off during SDCC while also enjoying some pop culture. It runs Friday from 11am-4pm, Saturday from 11am-5pm, and Sunday from 11am-4pm. It is located across the street from The New Children’s Museum at 200 W Island Ave in San Diego.
