Blake Lively is sharing a peek inside her fun-filled theme park day.

The Gossip Girl alum, 38, brought her Instagram followers along on her trip to Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park at the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, N.J., through a series of Instagram Stories shared Tuesday, March 31.

Dubbed the Western Hemisphere’s “largest indoor theme park,” the popular destination has attracted a number of stars and their kids, including Kim Kardashian and Cardi B.

In one slide, Lively appears to be mid-conversation on the phone as she rides a Fairly OddParents-themed ride. “Work from home,” she captioned the photo, before crossing out the word “home” and replacing it with “roller coaster.”

Another shot seemingly showed one of her friends working on their laptop as a Rugrats-themed ride could be seen in the background. Her friend has a doughnut-shaped inflatable placed over her head in the photo, which Lively captioned “work life balance.”

The actress also tried out the park’s “Double Dare Human Crane” attraction, sharing a video of herself dangling in the air as she holds a number of inflatable prizes and reaches for more.

“I’ve never had so much fun being humiliated in public,” she wrote over the playful clip.

According to a description of the ride on American Dream’s website, park goers get “lifted by a giant claw in this life-sized version of the classic arcade game.”

While the actress certainly had fun during her outing, it’s unclear whether any of her four children accompanied her to the park. Her last photo of a group posed with a Paw Patrol character shielded a child’s identity using a sticker of the show’s character Chase.

Lively shares kids James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 3 with husband Ryan Reynolds. The couple’s home in New York City is not too far from the New Jersey theme park, and the pair also owns a property in suburban New York State.

Months after the film’s release in August 2024, Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation, which he denies. The legal battle has been playing out in court.
