World of Barbie experience tour: How can I get tickets?
MATTEL is bringing Barbie's dream house to cities throughout North America in an immersive experience.
Those wishing to visit the dream house will be able to walk through and stroll down the streets of Barbie's neighborhood.
When is the World of Barbie?
Mattel partnered with Kilburn Live to bring the immersive World of Barbie to fans of all ages.
The Barbie dream house will be a main focal point and was first created in 1962.
The immersive experience is now providing individuals of all ages with the opportunity to step into their childhood playset.
Kilburn CEO Mark Manuel said in a press release to the US Sun, “We were asked to bring Barbie’s playset to life. Who can say no to that opportunity?
“Barbie is as relevant today as she was when she was first introduced to the world 63 years ago, if not more.
"I watched my daughter live and play in her world, I believe it helped shape her sharp and lively imagination, just like it has for millions of other children growing up. So there were a lot of reasons we needed to get this right.”
Other features will include a lifesize version of Barbie's pink camper van, patio, and a fake swimming pool.
The tour will kick off in Toronto, Ontario in July 2022 and People reported Barbie's dream house will travel to New York, Houston, Texas, Los Angeles, California, Chicago, Illinois, and more.
More locations are expected to come but tour dates have not yet been released.

Why is the Barbie dream house going on tour?
The Barbie dream house will provide a sense of nostalgia for fans who grew up with the playset and will bring back memories of their childhood, the CEO of Kilburn Live, Mark Manuel told .
For younger Barbie fans, Manuel said this is an opportunity for people of all ages to immerse themselves in Barbie's world.
"Stepping into Barbie's real-life dream house, being transported to Malibu, sitting down in her camper van…there's no age limit to that," Manuel said.
"You also have an older generation who's going to walk through and be brought back to their childhood days," he added.
Barbie's dream house came during a time when women didn't have many rights but promoted a doll who had a career and her own home.
“Throughout her history and numerous careers, Barbie has represented a world of limitless potential,” Julie Freeland, Senior Director of Location Based Entertainment at Mattel said in a press release to the US Sun.
“With this exquisitely designed attraction, we were intentional about delivering an exciting experience that would leave younger fans with the sense that they could do anything or be anything.
"And, for those who grew up with Barbie, we wanted to spark a little bit of nostalgia, give these fans a chance to step back, re-invent themselves, if only for an afternoon, and spend a day in the Dream Life!”
