I love spongebob, so I just had to come here when I was in Universal Studios. It did not disappoint, although the merchandise was a bit pricey, especially for the stuffies.
The imagination spongebob plushies shown in the photos were $50.. Because they are made by kid robot. However, I got a smaller version for (I think) $20. Not bad, huh. The giant patrick and spongebob stuffies were about $30 each. They were very cute, I think i’ll pick up one when I come by next time. Prepare to spend $20-$50 on individual plushies. The toys that I saw, in boxes, were $21 each.
Other than that! The store was beautiful. I walked inside and there was spongebob music playing. It really brought me back to my childhood. Next to the store, there is a pizza shop, just in case you are hungry. I met patrick outside, wandering in the park after leaving the store.
I loved this place! Will for sure come...

My main question here is why is there not a SpongeBob ride at Universal? This store works as a standalone in the theme park near the E.T. Ride and Animal Actors on Location, but it’s lonely- it needs a ride friend like most of the gift shops pair up to.
It’s a great store! Spongebob merch galore is everywhere- funny (and punny) t-shirt’s, keychains and bracelets, hats and Spongbob bags, and of course collectible action figures and toys.
All the details in the store are alone enough a reason to check it out. They bring actual characters into the front of the store for meet and greets frequently, there are jellyfish flying around the ceiling, you can even waltz into the pineapple unda da sea and chill with Gary. It’s classic and timeless.
Here’s a lovely petition to bring in a Spongebob ride to accompany this...
Read moreA very cool shop, I have nothing negative to say about it. The design is awesome, there are lots of little details. There is even a door (an actual door that employees probably use) that looks like it came right from the cartoon, and tons of other decor from the movies, like a big version of Carlos' house and Spongebob's house. For kids, Spongebob comes at some point during the day and it is possible to take pictures. I also saw Carlos outside. The merchs are pretty diverse, but there are mostly shirts, plushies and cups. Definitely marketed towards children (obviously), but still nice to visit as an adult as long as you know...
