World of Barbie

As much as I am obsessed with the Barbie Mattel brand, I think the cost of this experience is a bit overkill for the type of experience. It's located on the 2nd floor of the Stonebriar center, across from KidZania. The staff are all very pleasant. The cost per person was $44.00 and if you wanted to add the build-it Barbie customizable doll closet experience, it was an additional $55 per person. The actual entry includes varying interactive Barbie scenes such as her closet, space ship, the beach, pool (ball pit), her Barbie camper, music studio just to name a few. You basically take pics with different backdrops. It's nice but not at $44.00.I got the build-it add experience so I can review it. You will get a Barbie that's probably worth less than $10 in store. There weren't a lot of options to choose from. You get a beautiful commemorative box to put everything in. You get to pick 2 pairs of shoes, 3 accessories and only 2 clothing items, which means you get either 1 outfit or 2 dresses. I wish they gave the option to have two complete dress items. The outfits are not the high quality that you remember as a kid and the shoes are actually ill fitting for the Barbie's feet. Not worth $55 but for a little less would be a nice experience. When I went there was a spring break sale my entire ticket was 30% off, which made this experience a more appropriate for the price.

Wait for a discount on the Fever app. I brought a 12 and a 7 year old. The 12 year old was never Barbie obsessed but still enjoyed it. The app recommended 60 mins but 30-45 is more reasonable. It wasn't crowded and most all of the other patrons were considerate. Tons of photo opportunities! Some even brought their own lighting but no one took an unreasonable amount of time anywhere.No food or drinks allowed but there is a bathroom. Bring the hand sanitizer! There is a ball pit, drums to play, mic to sing, DJ and science area. The gift shop had Barbie's starting at $7 and going up to $55. Pencils w/ erasers were $3, potted plant in a Barbie vase were $12 or $15.Overall, it was cute but admission was a bit high IMO.

Had a great time looking around all of the different spaces and taking pictures with my wife! The different spaces each had a fun theme and were great photo ops. It's probably more catered towards kids but we still had a good time! We got there an hour before it closed and we ran out of time so I would guess it would take a couple hours or so to take all the pictures you want.

Super cute inside! It's a bit pricy but they had a sale for buy one get one free tickets so I came with my hubby on a date. It was super cute and there's lots of rooms to take pictures in. It seems like a good girls date though and there are tons of kids so it can be hard to take pictures with them running around but if you go earlier then you will have enough time. They do close at 4 and I came around 3 and barely had enough time to get all the photos I wanted so I'd reccomend going earlier!

The ticket cost VS the experience was not comparable at all. While we had fun it was short lived, the exhibit is small. This is definitely PINK TAXED.
