If you will be in San Diego, California later this month for Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) — or for any other reason — you can work in a visit to Paramount+’s The Lodge to your schedule!
The Lodge is returning to SDCC for a second year, and it’s every fan’s dream, complete with several themed experiences, merchandise, and more inspired by your favorite Paramount+ titles, like Star Trek, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spongebob Squarepants, Criminal Minds: Evolution, and more!
Fans can step onto a Star Trek starship and create a custom T-shirt inspired by the series, visit the SpongeBob Squarepants’ Bikini Bottom Jellyfish Fields and use the provided gear to go jellyf ishing, and receive a temporary airbrush tattoo in a fake tattoo parlor inspired by Ink Master.
The Lodge will also feature Woodstone Manor’s Olfactory Atelier (inspired by the CBS original Ghosts). After you enter The Livings living room workshop, Essence Chemists will show you specialized perfumes, each one a homage to ghosts in the series. Once you’ve found your favorite scent, head to the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed Pizza Parlor, Turtle Power Pizza. Here, you’ll find pizza and beverages inspired by the colors of the half-shelled heroes.
For fans of Criminal Minds: Evolution, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) needs you. Visitors can enter an in-world office inspired by the series and look through evidence, paperwork, clues, and more to help BAU agents solve a case. Afterward, reward your hard work with an in-world drink from the BRED2BUCK Saloon, inspired by Tulsa King, which will feature props, graphics, neon lights, and nods to Season 2.
Before leaving The Lodge, guests can add a little whimsy to their lives with a Cozy Ferris Wheel photo op, inspired by IF. The area features the Luna Park marquee, carnival lights, and a place to play hopscotch — you can press the magical button that brings the Memory Lane Retirement Community Register to life and find your IF companion (who will appear in your photo).
Each Lodge Ski Pass comes with an exclusive offer for a three-month Walmart+ subscription, plus additional rewards that will surprise you during your visit! If you’re not attending SDCC this year, no worries: SDCC badges are not required for entry to The Lodge. It’s free, but admission is based on a reservation system and a stand-by line.
The Lodge is located at Gaslamp’s Happy Does in San Diego and will be open on July 24 from 6 p.m.-10 p.m., July 25-27 from 12 p.m.-10 p.m., and July 28 from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
