Do You Guys Ever Think About Pink?

Pink, like the inside of your … Barbie Dreamhouse, baby! The Barbie movie set is open for tours, and you’ll need to see this Pinkprint for yourself. Emceed by Ms. Barbie, Margot Robbie, a new Architectural Digest tour gives you a peak inside a life-size Barbie Dreamhouse with all of the 2-D appliances your heart desires. Director Greta Gerwig even shows off the different pink shades that were used for the set, at one point showing off the versions of a “white” shade, which is to say, lighter pink, of course! “I can’t even tell you the meetings we had about pink,” Gerwig says. There were also lovely rules like “There is no water in Barbieland.” (Life in plastic means no swimming, unfortunately.) The only side effect of this pink-splosion is that you’ll be sad you can’t move in. Comfort yourself with the knowledge that it’s only about a month until the Barbie movie finally comes out on July 23. That’s hot (pink)!

Turning Barbiecore into a reality.

Now is your chance to step inside Barbie’s Dreamhouse. That’s right, you can finally live “in a Barbie world” with the Barbie house experience, which is coming to Los Angeles this April. Instead of shrinking down to the size of a doll, the immersive experience will bring Barbie’s world to life for you to explore with your besties. The Insta-worthy pop-up will not only include the iconic Dreamhouse, but Barbie’s pink camper van as well.

Barbie is really having a moment right now. With updates on the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling keeping fans on their toes and brands releasing their own nostalgic Barbie collabs , Barbiecore is here to stay. If you’re down to take your fandom to the next level, you’ll want to stop by the World of Barbie immersive experience . Last year, People reported that the World of Barbie would be touring U.S. cities like New York, Chicago, and Dallas after its debut in Toronto, and it seems Los Angeles is first. Of course SoCal would be Barbie’s first choice for a U.S. debut. It’s close to her Malibu home, and you can get tickets to the World of Barbie starting in March.

Aside from Barbie’s Dreamhouse being human-size, there are other activations and Insta-worthy photo moments throughout the experience that any fan will want to see for themselves. You just want to make sure you snag a ticket before they sell out.

What Is The Barbie House Experience?

It’s time to dig through your closet for the cutest pink ‘fit you own, because the World of Barbie immersive experience was made for the ‘Gram. The main attraction is Barbie’s Dreamhouse, where you can walk through her living room and kitchen while admiring the cutest Barbie-inspired decor. You’ll also get a chance to hang out in her backyard, which has lawn chairs and a pool — aka ball pit — that you can jump into. Prepare to snap some super cute pics of you and your besties lounging around like you’re having the perfect summer day at Barbie’s house.

Of course, when at Barbie’s house, you definitely want to check out her closet. As you make your way through, you’ll get a chance to see many of her iconic outfits and career uniforms from over the years. You know Barbie is the OG boss babe, so there will be tons to see. If you arrive in Barbiecore style, you’ll have a chance to show off your lewk in the fashion studio. The studio will have a pink carpet you can walk down that is lined with life-size Barbie boxes to step into and take a pic. You may even feel like you’re in *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” music video.

Along with seeing Barbie’s career outfits, you can also pretend to be her. The World of Barbie will have play sets like a space center, where you can snap pics in Barbie’s spaceship with your besties. There will also be a movie theater with Barbie content playing, and a salon with Paul Mitchell products. Afterwards, relax in Barbie’s pink camper van that has a cozy hammock for you to lounge in as you live “life in plastic.”

Exclusive to LA will be special after-hour events happening at the Barbie pop-up. For example, there will be a Pink Carpet Night where guests can wear their best Barbiecore fashion and enjoy a night of dancing, walking the pink carpet, and chowing down at the snack bar. Every Sunday at World of Barbie will be a Movie Day, where Barbie animated movies will be playing in the theater and popcorn will be available.

Sneak Peek: See Inside the 'Immersive' Barbie Experience Touring North America Starting This Summer

“World of Barbie” debuts in Toronto this July and will stop in New York, Chicago, Dallas and other cities

Visiting Barbie's Dreamhouse is now a reality!

Barbie fans of all ages will be able to walk into a human-size version of her imaginative world at "World of Barbie," an immersive experience that celebrates everything the iconic doll's universe has to offer. Entertainment company Kilburn Live partnered with Mattel to bring Barbie's neighborhood to cities across North America as part of a tour that kicks off this summer in Toronto. The attraction will stop in New York, Chicago and Dallas with more to come.

"World of Barbie," created by entertainment company Kilburn Live and Mattel , kicks off this summer in Toronto before touring around North America, and will allow fans to walk down Barbie's neighborhood streets. Visitors can explore several immersive play sets, including a life-size version of Barbie's bubblegum pink camper van. The vehicle even includes a hammock to lounge on, bringing a signature feature of the toy campers to life.

Other event highlights include strutting down the pink carpet, which features a row of six giant doll boxes with themes like "Western" and "Fashionista" that guests can climb into to snap a photo.

The real show-stopper is Barbie's iconic dreamhouse. According to Mark Manuel, CEO of Kilburn Live, the life-size house will transport guests to Malibu.

Not only can visitors sit in Barbie's modern living room and kitchen, but they can also play outside on a patio complete with a fake pool. And, of course, fans can walk into Barbie's closet, full of her different career-themed clothing and outfits inclusive of her style over the years.

What makes "World of Barbie" stand out is that the experience is meant to be enjoyed across generations, says Manuel: "Stepping into Barbie's real life dreamhouse, being transported to Malibu, sitting down in her camper van…there's no age limit to that."

There's also an element of nostalgia in Barbie's real-life neighborhood for grown-up fans. "You also have an older generation who's going to walk through and be brought back to their childhood days," he adds.

"World of Barbie" even includes a museum that chronicles Barbie's development over the decades. Julie Freeland, Senior Director of Location-Based Entertainment at Mattel, says that part of the attraction really plays into the universal connection fans have with Barbie.

"I travel all over the world, and people have their own stories of the favorite dreamhouse they had when they were a kid or their favorite doll that they grew up with. And they pass that on to their kids," she tells PEOPLE.

Barbie's neighborhood also includes multiple play sets that are career driven — from a TV studio to a space center and fashion studio. There's even a hands-on science lab where visitors can perform experiments. The purpose of the play sets isn't just purely fun. They're meant to help young kids explore and cultivate their interests.

"Barbie has had so many firsts, and has had so many different careers," Freeland said. "We hope that they leave truly feeling inspired and feeling like [they] can do anything."

"World of Barbie" kicks off in Toronto this summer before touring U.S. cities. Visit theworldofbarbie.com for more information.
