DreamWorks Water Park and Nickelodeon Universe

It’s 2023 and that means it’s time to ride roller coasters!

We’ve been ITCHING to get away somewhere and decided to take a quick trip out to American Dream to visit the DreamWorks Water Park and Nickelodeon Universe.

The last time we were at Nickelodeon Universe was literally 2 weeks before the pandemic shut the world down. American Dream was still very new and very empty.

Fast forward 3 years and while Nickelodeon Universe is still the same – everything else has changed! The DreamWorks Water Park is now open (it’s the largest indoor water park in North America!) and the mall has completely filled in. We were SHOCKED at how many people were just at the mall shopping, eating, and hanging out! It truly is a hopping place (at least, on a Saturday evening!)

We started our day in the water park, and then after a few hours we moved over into Nickelodeon Universe. The kids had a BLAST – the water park was so much fun! We got to ride our first roller coasters of 2023 and the kids got to meet the PAW Patrol!

It was a long, but wonderful day – the perfect way to kickstart our 2023 roller coaster riding season!
So many more fun things to come!

Of course, what is a post without photos? Here are a few of the highlights of our trip both from my iPhone 12 Pro and “big” camera (I have a Canon R6).

Hi Im Kara Abbey a Wedding Photographer in Irwin PA

Hi! I'm Kara!

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.

I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.

When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.

Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.

I'm so glad you're here!
