The Nick Jr. Friends Event, the highly anticipated annual fall event uniquely crafted for preschoolers, is returning to Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana and launching for the first time at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya with exclusive discounts, dedicated programming, and special Nickelodeon character appearances at both locations. This top preschooler event gives guests the opportunity to meet some of their favorite Nick Jr. friends including Chase, Marshall and Skye from PAW Patrol, Blue from Blue's Clues & You!, Dora the Explorer, Shimmer and Shine, and for the first time ever, Santiago of the Seas. Having made its mark as a top event in the Caribbean for families with little ones over the last four years, this popular seasonal programming is back with brand new experiences and savings. Families looking for endless summers can level up their autumn vacation and take advantage of major savings with up to 43% off starting at $203 per person per night + up to $400 in Resort Credits when they book now through October 30 and travel September 8 through October 31, 2022.

While both resort locations will offer unforgettable experiences that are true to the heart of the Nickelodeon brand, each destination will welcome unique experiences that set the stage for an unmatched Nick Jr. Friends Event. Little guests staying at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hang out with Santiago from Santiago of the Seas, who is making a debut appearance just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month, while those staying at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya will get the chance to play with Chase and Skye from PAW Patrol and Shimmer & Shine from Shimmer and Shine.

Families can enjoy a 5-star luxury all-inclusive vacation with gourmet dining, thrilling adventure at the Aqua Nick water parks, expansive accommodations, and all kinds of exclusive, limited edition events and experiences taking place throughout the week — from exciting character meet and greets to interactive activities including searching for clues left behind by Blue, making Dora's backpack and creating their own adventure map, dancing the Pup Pup Boogie with PAW Patrol, making their own Blue & Magenta ears, themed menus with fun mocktails and sweets, dance parties and much more. Little ones can even get inspired to help their friends, families and communities with Paw Patrol's "Calling All Heroes" program as they receive a Big Hero Book of hero tips when participating in the activities onsite.

With two locations, one in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, the 5-star family experiential resorts are designed to ignite the spark of play for guests of all ages with signature seasonal events throughout the year including the Nick Jr. Friends Event this fall. Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts offer spacious and themed family suites, Nickelodeon™ Place, Aqua Nick themed water park, Club Nick for kids, and the renowned Gourmet Inclusive® Experience by Karisma.
