I turned 40 this past November. I saw the Nickelodeon rebranding at the park felt a Twinge of Sadness that Camp Snoopy is no longer there. I was about 9 or 10 when I first went to the Mall of America. So I'm happy I got the experience I did. To me, I felt it was time to let the Little ones of Today to make their own fond memories. Camp Snoopy May be gone from the Mall of America, but will never be forgotten.

My childhood right there! Camp Snoopy was the best!

Ill be taking my son there on the 20th for his bday. Hope the log chute never gets replaced.

Isn't something from Camp Snoopy still there? I could have sworn the Dog bowl remained in its place for a while.

Grew up in suburban Minneapolis in the 90s and 00s. MOA was larger than life as a young kid, it was like a whole world in itself. Every time we went we would make a whole day out of it, Orange Julius, Legoland, Camp Snoopy and Johnny Rockets or One Potato Two were always part of the trip. Pepsi Ripsaw, Mystery Mine Ride, Screaming Yellow Eagle and the Log Flume were ridden every time at least once. My sister and I would be dog tired by the end of the day and all the walking we always did. Even being dragged into department stores that my mom would want to slowly browse through was much more tolerable during an MOA trip than at the local Ridgedale mall.

Mystery mine ride was the best also! Now there’s flying over America which honestly was really amazing!

Let’s start a petition to bring back Camp Snoopy!

My Dad actually did some of the remodeling a while back, I don’t remember when. (I’ll ask him tomorrow) but he wrote on one of the metal pillars to show he was the one who did it. It’s painted over now unfortunately but he’s stil proud of it. ❤ not because of getting rid of camp snoopy, but just because it was his work.

OMG I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE SNOOPY BOWL! 😮

Okaaay! Um. I love you first for all. I went to camp snoopy all the time with my aunt when I was younger. And this video has brought back so many memories. The snoopy jump house? I lived there. That was my home, and the Pepsi riptide. Wait is that what it was called? My millennial brain is overwhelmed 😂 Anyway, My favorite was always ghost blasters! My aim was HORRIBLE! But I didn’t care! Thank you for this video! Seriously! ❤

God, thank you for prophetic utterances, all throughout life, for wondrous things and blessings and laughter and love and lights. Thank you for money, thank you for food and thank for family and friends and passers by. Thank you for beauty in our heart of hearts in Jesus name. Amen 🙏 I pray for healing and health and happiness for everyone in Jesus name. Amen 🙏

34, Minneapolis native. When I was a kid my friends and I would go just for the mystery mine ride, like go on it a dozen times in a row. Although I had aged out of it when the peanuts theme died, it broke my heart to see it change.

I'm glad you mentioned the mine ride... I rode it like 20 times one day as a kid, was so fun!

Its been 5 years

Do you have more footage of the speedway ride

The Log Chute is still running, so at least there’s one thing from the Camp Snoopy era.

Paul Bunyan is still present. He’ll always be there. Unfortunately the Pepsi Ripsaw Coaster was renamed. That was the highlight, along with Paul Bunyan’s Log Chute.

this is crazy I never knew this

Good News There Is A NEW Camp Snoopy In Cedar Point (in Sandusky ohio)

My youth 😢

Camp snoopy was amazing. Nickelodeon Universe just feels so corporate and lame. RIP Charles Schulz, Minneapolis legend 🙏

My bestie Martha went here in 2002, when she was, like, 13. She rode the Screaming Yellow Eagle and the Mighty Axe, like, a crazy amount of times or something. I got to go to Nickelodeon Universe in, like, 2009 for some reason. It was totes fetch.

Slight correction, Cedar Fair purchased Knott’s (and operations pertaining to both parks) in 1997. When the park first opened in 1992, it was entirely operated by Knott’s, hence why it was called “Knott’s Camp Snoopy” and not just Camp Snoopy. This is how Cedar Fair obtained the Peanuts rights, and was ultimately the reason they were able to add the Planet Snoopy areas to their parks, such as Cedar Point, Kings Island and Dominion, Valleyfair, and others. Still a great mini-documentary though!

Brings back memories, thank you for the episode.

Thank you. I am from Shakopee, Minnesota and I miss Camp Snoopy so much ♥️

If anybody wants to go and feel some pure nostalgia, the log ride hasn’t changed over the years… it’s just dusty af

Went to Mall of America last week and although I mostly grew up with memories of Nickelodeon Universe, what I really miss is the American Girl doll store being on the edge of the park and visible from all the tall rides. 😢 It really added to the “it’s not a mall, it’s an experience” vibe with the doll hair salon and restaurant with doll tables. 😊❤

Kite Eating Tree was THE BEST!

I'm 31 now and why did you guys change it it was perfect the way it is all the memories are there ♥️

I worked at MOA Planet Hollywood 98-00. One of the best times of my life. Servers and bartenders would, from time to time, have our morning meetings on the roller coaster before the park opened.

Camp snoopy still exists inside of Some Cedar Point parks. I’m confused why they ditched snoopy for Nickelodeon.

R.I.P. Knott's Camp Snoopy 1992 - 2008

Whew this brought back so many memories 🥺 thank you for covering this! I’m 31 and grew up in Minnesota and LOVED Camp Snoopy and hated when it changed to the park at MOA🙄

One of my favorite things about working at camp Snoopy was that we had two crews and one crew was the seasonal college crew that was there for the summer and the other crew was a college crew that was there year around. For example around Christmas the crew that was there year-round could go home to be with family while the seasonal crew came back for the holidays and worked for a few weeks or even a few days. They updated our schedules every semester and were super flexible for college students. We had fun employee parties. They had opportunities to earn Cedar point tickets. They gave us a lot of tickets to valley Fair. Definitely a great place to work well in college

I really liked getting the sunshine throughout the winter while working there.

I worked at camp Snoopy for 6 years and got to see the opening of the mighty Axe, little shaver, camp bus and frog Hopper and then I came back quite a few years later to see Nickelodeon universe.

Ok I'm taking a shot at alternate history. What if Camp Snoopy never rebranded? Could Cedar Fair have kept it's relationship with the Mall of America?

Good Lord,too melodramatic.

Camp snoopy shut down before I was born

As someone who grew up on Camp Snoopy and would later go on to work as a performer at Nickelodeon Universe, Camp Snoopy was always my favorite! At least the best ride, the Log Chute, has remained throughout all these changes.

I never went to Camp Snoopy, and I hate Nickelodeon, so this is a sad story for me. Nickelodeon doesn't even relate to Minnesota culture whatsoever. Sure, in general, Nickelodeon has a broader appeal and recognition, but I never understood why. I found many of their shows to be ridiculous and stupid. Like, Dora, the Loud House, Sponge Bob, etc.

this is so interesting i grew up going here! will always love it! havent been back in forever i'd like to see it now

Awesome job on this video! The original pictures and footage brought back some great memories. I remember my first visit on the 2nd day it was in operation back in August 1992 and it was magical. My kids are now 6 and 4 and while we enjoy visiting the park together I know they would have loved the Peanuts theme. In fact we still refer to it as Camp Snoopy quite often. Thanks for 10 sentimental minutes that brought back some wonderful memories!

Twin Cities born and raised. This bit of nostalgia hits me in the feels.

I remember going during the rebranding in 2006 was very sad all the peanuts stuff was on everything must go sale in the gift shop. I remember seeing that red barron plane without snoopy and being confused as I was only 7. Still dislike that nikolodeon crap they replaced it with

I was so scared of the axe ride as kid lol I'm glad I got to do it at least once before leaving Minnesota. The smell of log chute and the mini donuts when walking through the theme front of theme park was great I miss those good times...

This was actually a good maerketing strategy, and all those boomers that are crying about it need to see it that way. Rebranding it to Nickelodeon was even better, since that company has WAY MORE things that pretty much everyone remembered as kids. Such as Ben 10, Spongebob, Dora The Explorer, and more. I think it was a good idea, since you can't do much with Charlie Brown..........

oof this brings a tear to my eye. I'm also from MN, and this was a heavy part of my childhood. I've seen at least 6 arcades come in and out of MoA. Seeing a glimpse of ddr 3rd mix korea version 2 in this video was quite the sight. The Mystery Mine Ride was amazing, and I'm glad I got to experience it growing up. I remember how big this place was as a kid.

I’ve heard that there used to be a massive model train display in the Mall of America, does anyone know if this is true?

I'm 27 and miss Camp Snoopy so much. It was my childhood and I remember when it all came to an end. Nickelodeon Universe doesn't have the warm feeling that Camp Snoopy had.
