San Diego Comic-Con is a microcosm of fandoms of all sorts and although some of the headlining features like the Exhibit Floor and Panels require a badge for access, there’s a whole world of fun available OUTSIDE of the Convention Center and it’s all available without credentials needed!
Here’s a look at all the fun going on outside of San Diego Comic-Con 2023.
Haunted Mansion Pedicabs
With opportunities for promotion and outreach limited during the strikes, one way that the upcoming live action HAUNTED MANSION film is driving awareness is with these themed sponsored pedicabs at San Diego Comic-Con.
The Lodge: A Paramount+ Experience
Attendees were invited for a “slopeside” tour through the unique world of Paramount+ with special activities and activations. Admission was free and no SDCC badge was required but admission was based on the Feverup reservation system. A standby line was available, as well. Activities included:
- Enjoy a tasty menu item inspired by GOOD BURGER 2
- Sip on a cocktail at the 1923 speakeasy
- Fuel up at the TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS energon coffee bar
- Explore Bikini Bottom with photo-ops from SpongeBob SquarePants
- Step into the world of STAR TREK for custom caricature art and a limited edition Star Trek pin
- Get fresh temporary ink based on your favorite series at the INK MASTER airbrush tattoo station.
- Additional series experiences include YELLOWJACKETS, SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS, PET SEMATARY: BLOODLINES, and a Paramount+ Pub.
FX
Attendees traveled thru various FX properties Shōgun, A Murder at the End of the World, AHS-inspired wellness clinic, and What We Do in the Shadows. Each activation featured delights, swag, and other surprises.
Dragon Ball Special Exhibition
NBC Corner
Shows highlighted at the NBCU Corner @ SDCC include NBC’s “Quantum Leap” and “La Brea,” USA Network and SYFY’s “Chucky,” SYFY’s “Resident Alien,” “Reginald the Vampire,” Peacock’s “Vampire Academy,” “The End is Nye” and “The Resort.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem
Petco Park Interactive Zone
The Interactive Zone was a bit of a snoozer this year with biggest representation from Transformers Rise of the Beasts and th e30th anniversary celebration of Focus Features.
Hulu: Only Murders in the Building
Giant ABC ads are some what of a hallmark for SDCC. That continued this year with Abbot Elementary getting top billing.
