Take Kids on an Awesome Vacation – The Nickelodeon Resort
If you’ve already done the Disney resorts and are looking for a new family vacation this winter, try the Nickelodeon Family Suites Resort by Holiday Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The Nickelodeon hotel is located off the popular International Drive South, 1.5 miles away from the entrance to Disney World and close to many tourist attractions.
If your kids love SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, The Fairly OddParents or the Rugrats, this resort is sure to be a hit.
Nickelodeon Orlando spans 24 acres and houses 777 suites. Families will love the two-bedroom and three-bedroom Kid Suites, with either bunk or twin beds for the kids. The rooms are decorated with Nickelodeon characters and bright colors.
Things to do at Nick Hotel
Swim – You can splash around in two large pool areas with water slides, climbing nets, water jets, flumes, a 400-gallon dump tank and lifeguards to keep the little ones safe.
Play – The grounds include a miniature golf course, sand play areas and outdoor playgrounds. Check out the 3,000-square-foot video arcade or rent games to play in your suite.
Eat – You won’t go hungry during your visit. For a quick bite, visit the big mall area filled with specialty restaurants and fast food options, like Subway and Pizza Hut Express. Or for a sit-down meal, Nicktoons Cafe is the main restaurant on the premises, featuring a daily character breakfast along with a daily buffet.
Hit the Spa – Little girls will love the Kid’s Spa, offering manicures, pedicures and hair braiding. Boys need not miss out on the fun. They can show off their style by getting a temporary tattoo.
4-D Theater – A film-watching adventure filled with wind, water, bubbles, scents and SLIME.
Studio Nick – Check out the nightly shows designed by Nickelodeon and fun for the entire family.
Nick After Dark – It’s not just a kids’ vacation. For grown-up fun, drop the kids off at Nick After Dark, a supervised activity program for children ages 5 through 12. You are then free to hit the town.
Drink – If you want to stay nearby while your kids play at Nick After Dark, visit the Nick@Nite Lounge for some adult beverage concoctions.
So if your family needs a break from your San Antonio home, check out Nickelodeon Family Suites seasonal rates and specials. And after all of that, if you still feel like you need your Mickey Mouse fix, Nickelodeon Resort provides a free scheduled shuttle service to the four Disney theme parks.
