Explore Bikini Bottom at WONDR
SpongeBob made his debut in 1999, but it wasn’t until 2002 that Dutch viewers were introduced to his cheerful underwater world. The character quickly grew into an icon, capturing the hearts of both children and adults. To celebrate his 25th anniversary, WONDR Experience has opened a special edition where you can relive the magical atmosphere of Bikini Bottom.
Once you pass through WONDR’s silver curtains, you step into a fantasy world that feels like you’re deep underwater. Large bubbles float around you, and the surroundings bring the famous cartoon setting to life. From Sandy’s oxygen tanks to Patrick’s jellyfishing nets, everything contributes to that authentic Bikini Bottom vibe.
Experience the Story Yourself
What’s a visit to Bikini Bottom without stopping at the city’s favourite restaurant, The Krusty Krab? Here, just like in the series, you can try to uncover the secrets of the famous Krabby Patty. During your adventure, you’ll find clues leading to Mr. Krabs’ vault – the place where the recipe is kept. Maybe you’ll be the one to crack the secret of the Krabby Patty!
Tip: For fans, there’s a shop with exclusive SpongeBob merchandise, so you can take home a keepsake. Great for yourself or as a gift for a fellow fan!
Mrs Puff’s Boating School
Another highlight of this experience is the chance to pass your boating test at Mrs Puff’s Boating School. Those familiar with the series know that SpongeBob often struggled here. Luckily, you can take a different approach and pass the test in one of the cheerful rooms, complete with fun memories from the show. It’s sure to be a laugh-filled and nostalgic experience for all ages!
