The vast entertainment complex is packed with exhilarating attractions, upscale shops, and more than 70 dining options.

New York City – Rides that Break Records and More
Why wait for ideal conditions to experience the thrill of a roller coaster? You can always indulge your daring side in the American Dream. The largest indoor theme park in the Western Hemisphere, Nickelodeon Universe, offers excitement with some of the tallest, steepest, and longest rides in the world as well as kid-friendly features with Nickelodeon characters. Exhilarating rides include the Skyline Scream, the largest indoor spinning drop tower in the world, and the Shellraiser, which descends the steepest drop in the world. Take the entire group on a ride on Dora’s Sky Railway to experience everything the vibrant park has to offer.
To enjoy more family entertainment, simply cross the American Dream’s first level and go to LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre. The Imagination Express animated train ride, Miniland, a LEGO replica of New York City and New Jersey, and the LEGO 4D Cinema, where you can view LEGO movies with immersive effects, are interactive aspects of this indoor LEGO playground for children ages 3 to 10.
New York City – Summertime Fun Anytime
The breaking of records at the American Dream extends beyond the thrill coasters. The biggest indoor water park in North America, DreamWorks Water Park, is also located within the mega-complex. Put on your swimwear and explore themed attractions like DreamWorks Dream Runner, the world’s longest hydromagnetic rocket coaster, and Far Far A Bay, the largest indoor wave pool. The Carnivortex body slide, a favorite among the daring, starts with a trapdoor capsule drop.
Keep the underwater action continuing by taking a trip through SEA LIFE, American Dream’s aquarium with a New York City theme that houses over 3,000 animals in 10 displays. View living displays modeled after New York landmarks, touch starfish and anemones during instructional programs, and walk beneath sharks and rays in the ocean tunnel.
The indoor miniature golf courses at American Dream are a great place to engage in friendly competition. Play in a world of brilliant colors at Blacklight Mini Golf or through animated features at Angry Birds Mini Golf. Both attractions feature 18 difficult holes.
Winter Sports in Any Weather
Enjoy the ice activities at American Dream, The Rink, and Big SNOW, by trading in your swimwear for a snowsuit. The Rink is an NHL regulation-sized ice rink open for skating and special events that is located in the center of the complex in view of the shops and attractions. The Rink is the official residence of the Metropolitan Riveters. Rent some skates and hit the ice, or watch a hockey game on certain nights.
Big SNOW is a unique indoor attraction where you can go skiing any time of year, even during the hottest part of the East Coast summer. Big SNOW, the first and only location of its sort in North America, provides easy and challenging trails for skiing and snowboarding with lift service. There are offered rentals, lessons, and a snow exploration area geared towards children. Take an SNO-GO Bike down the mountain for a distinctive alpine experience.
