Calling all Barbie fans! It's time to don those Barbie-inspired outfits, hop in the pink Barbie convertible and head on down to Fort Lauderdale. Why? Because the life-sized Barbie Dreamhouse Experience is opening on 24th February and everyone's invited. All together now: €I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world, life in plastic, it's fantastic!€
Where is the Barbie Dreamhouse?
Fittingly it's in a shopping mall, Sawgrass Mills to be exact, which would definitely meet with the plastic lady's approval. This huge fully air conditioned mall houses over 350 shops, including designer and high street brands. The fashion-conscious will find top names here such as Prada, Giorgio Armani, Burberry Factory Outlet, Nike, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger to name but a few.
For those who can bear to interrupt their shopping frenzy for a bite to eat, there are also numerous restaurants and eateries too. But the mall is not all about fashion; shops selling home furnishings, toys and electronic and sports equipment are also allowed a few square metres. So any Dads who don't fancy the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience - as if - will find shopping outlets to browse.
What is the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience all about?
The pink Barbie fun begins with the receipt of a precious bracelet, which is essentially the magic key to enjoying the attraction. The key's clever RFID technology helps personalise the tour and allows connection with the interactive stations and photo opportunities.
Visitors get to explore many life-sized rooms and areas in Barbie's pink palatial wonderland via her legendary elevator. These include her bedroom, closet, living room, entertainment room, bathroom, kitchen and balcony. They'll also see over 350 Barbie dolls and memorabilia along the way.
What are the highlights?
As if seeing around Barbie's fab pad wasn't enough of a thrill, visitors are also able to try on her clothes as well! Obviously as Barbie is smaller than a size zero, this phenomenon happens digitally. Even so, it must be every little girl's dream and that of a few little boys too! Interestingly Ken's closet doesn't get a look in, which is a shame as he wore some very dashing outfits! Perhaps she's kicked him out?
As well as dressing up, visitors can also digitally customise cupcakes at the cupcake island in Barbie's kitchen. Shouldn't this be a standard feature in all kitchens?
What Barbie must-haves are there to buy?
Fortunately the exclusive Barbie Dreamhouse Doll, along with all the must-have doll accessories, can be purchased at the Barbie Dreamhouse boutique. Phew, that will save a lot of tears and tantrums, well from the kids anyway.
How much does the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience cost?
Tickets range from $14.00 - $29.00 and can be purchased online.
