If you’re as excited as us for the upcoming Greta Gerwig Barbie movie, we know you’re looking for anything Barbie you can do to fill the time until the July 21 release date. So pack your bags and get ready for a trip to LA, because World of Barbie is coming to the states!

World of Barbie is an attraction put on by Mattel, Kilburn Live, and IMG. The three companies partnered to bring the huge multi-installation event to Toronto, Canada. Now, it will be debuting in the U.S. in Santa Monica, California, on April 14. 

World of Barbie has a number of Barbie-centered attractions, made to match the many lives Barbie has led. The Dreamhouse features everything from a DJ kit for guests to mix their own music to walk-in closets full of Barbie clothes. The Camper Van offers the perfect photo opportunity in the driver’s seat, or just a nice relaxing hammock to take a break from all the excitement.

The Los Angeles rollout will also include some new special events. Pink Carpet Night will offer dancing, photo opportunities, and a snack bar, while Movie Days will feature a variety of Barbie animated films playing at the Movie Theater. Finally, the Sips After Sunset events will invite guests over age 21 to a cocktail party.
