Headout was able to provide me with amazing prices to have a fun day at the American Dream Nickelodeon Universe. After I purchased my tickets with ease, I quickly redeemed them with Headouts instructions. Once I entered the theme park, I have thrilled and delighted with my experience.

Our daughters were really excited to visit. The ease of exiting and re-entering made it easy for us to go out to the mall to eat and come back in to enjoy more time at the park. I loved the lazy river. My oldest loved the drop slides but even had fun on the Kungfu Panda themed play set area where my youngest enjoyed a lot of her time. I really appreciated that the wave pool was only closed for a couple of minutes and quickly reopened. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about at DreamWorks was that HeadOut told us our tickets were good from 10AM-8PM on the day of our visit, but the park closed at 7PM. I don't know if it actually opened at 10AM because we hadn't planned to get there until 11 (the hours posted on the website), so we didn't arrive until about 11:30 or so. Otherwise, it was a good experience that we travelled six hours for. We may not get to come back as there is so much to see and do, but we will definitely be telling others about this incredible park.

Too many people,the lazy river did not open until almost 3pm,and most of the slides were closed. Less options to have fun.This is my 3rd time there and the most disappointed one.

Find yourself inside a massive, climate-controlled space as you enter with a giant skylight, keeping the atmosphere perfect year-round. Start your adventure at the Kungfu Panda Temple of Awesomeness, where kids can explore a multi-level play structure with the world’s largest indoor tipping bucket. Let your kids slide through The Penguins Frozen Fun Zone or float along the Bubbly Lazy River, the longest indoor lazy river in the world. Families can take on the Trolls Rainbow Racers, race through twists and tunnels, or experience the DreamWorks Dream Runner, the world’s longest hydromagnetic water rocket coaster.
For adventurers, the pro rides offer intense drops and high-speed thrills. Feel the adrenaline rush on Thrillagascar & Jungle Jammer, the world’s tallest trapdoor capsule slide. Ride Shrek’s Sinkhole Slammer with its high-speed twists, or challenge yourself on The Carnivortex, a G-force trapdoor capsule slide. When you need a break, lounge by Far Far A Bay, the heated wave pool with gentle swells, or relax in the Forbidden Waters hot tubs.
Whether you're looking for heart-pounding excitement or a laid-back day in the water, DreamWorks Water Park offers the ultimate water park day just minutes from New York City.
