originally published: 07/14/2024

(EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ) -- American Dream invites everyone to come Party Like a Sponge in celebration of SpongeBob SquarePants' 25th Anniversary, now through August 2, 2024. Guests will be immersed in a world of SpongeBob activities as a portion of the largest indoor theme park in the Western Hemisphere transforms into Bikini Bottom.

“What makes American Dream unique is our ability to connect guests with their favorite characters, and none is more beloved than Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob,” said Bryan Gaus, Senior Vice President and General Manager of American Dream. “We welcome everyone to join us in celebrating the world’s most positive and joyful sponge and all he’s meant to kids and families over the past 25 years.”

American Dream is throwing a 25-day party packed with non-stop SpongeBob activities.  Guests can stop at the giant Pineapple Under the Sea display for the perfect photo op, enjoy temporary tattoos, jelly-fishing, special guest appearances and surprise dance parties, trivia contests, prizes, a silent disco and so much more!

Key highlights include: Two live performances by the voice of SpongeBob, Tom Kenny, and his band, The Hi-Seas on August 2nd, Jellyfish dance lessons with TikTok star Edgar Vicenzio on July 19th and 20th, and a special TiLT 3D experience where guests pose in a scene with SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy.

Guests can also get special 25% off discounts on Name Day (July 17) by answering the question, “How SpongeBob Are You?” and showing us if your name is Bob, Patrick, Sandy, Gary or Eugene; on Character Day (July 24), by dressing up as a Bikini Bottom character; and on Yellow Day (July 31) by wearing the color yellow.
