Honey, I Blew Up the Kid is the 1992 sequel to the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movie that was released in 1989.

In the original Honey, I Shrunk the Kids film (watch the trailer on YouTube), a scientist father accidentally shrinks his kids and his neighbor’s kids with his electromagnetic shrinking machine.

In the Honey, I Blew Up the Kid sequel, the same father has moved to Nevada and has a new baby who accidentally gets blown up in size due to the father’s new growth machine. Attracted to the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip, the oversized 112-foot baby makes his way to what he thinks is a neon playground and his family must quickly figure out how to shrink him back down to a normal size.

Las Vegas, NV Filming Locations

Honey, I Blew Up the Kid

Honey, I Blew Up the Kid was filmed at Fremont Street (featured in the movie trailer above), the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and the Mirage Hotel.

Some scenes were also filmed at the old Wet ‘n Wild Water Park which operated from 1985-2004.

Although the film project finished under budget, much of it went towards the blue-screen compositing process. More than a hundred blue-screen composite-image shots were taken with the twin actors who played baby Adam Szalinski, which were used to create the illusion of a giant-sized baby stomping around Las Vegas and among its normal-sized residents and visitors.

Just for Fun

The Nevada Film Office decided to play with some leftover photos from a recent photo shoot. This is our rendition of the NFO team running into baby Adam Szalinski on Fremont Street.
