Things to do | take a tour of the pink and fab world of barbie exhibition in santa monica, the immersive pop-up at santa monica place includes a life-sized pink camper van designed by west coast customs..

barbie tour in santa monica

When Barbie goes camping she does it in style, riding out in a customized pink camper van with sweet rims, purple front seats, pink headlights, plus a hammock, her own kitchen and TV.

Fans of the famous Mattel doll who attend the recently expanded World of Barbie immersive experience , which will now stay at Santa Monica Place through Sept. 4, can hop inside her van, sit behind the wheel, honk the horn and pretend theyā€™re cruising down Pacific Coast Highway thanks to a famous local car shop.

ā€œWe got an actual Mattel Barbie camper, we 3D scanned it and then we essentially exploded it into this life-size Barbie camper,ā€ said Lorenzo Strong, vice president of sales and brand partnerships for West Coast Customs, which is famous for customizing cars for musicians, actors and athletes.

ā€œThis is super wild and off the wall for us because weā€™re used to building real, actually functional campers and cars and trucks and all that,ā€ he added.

Vanessa Tilp and her daughter Nicole, 10, visitors from Brazil,...

The World of Barbie interactive attraction opened on April 14 at Santa Monica Place inside a 20,000 square-foot, two-story space that allows guests into the iconic dollā€™s perfect pink life.

Itā€™s made up of life-size recreations of the interior of her beach house, complete with a view of the ocean. Thereā€™s also a pool filled with plastic balls with a slide where kids ā€” and even adults ā€” can jump in and Barbie boxes that people can get into and have their picture taken as various versions of the iconic toy.

Thereā€™s a Barbie Space Center, where guests can pretend theyā€™re about to travel into outer space and a theater playing animated Barbie films, plus other rooms filled with Barbie memorabilia.

But one of the biggest hits with fans has been the camper van, which is about the size of a 12-seat Mercedes Sprinter van.

ā€œI think itā€™s so neat to get to live something you grew up playing with and now you get to walk through it with your kid. I think the detail in this van is amazing, it looks exactly like the toy,ā€ said Allison Firey, who was visiting the World of Barbie from Santa Barbara with her 10-year-old daughter, Grace.

The two had just sat in the cab of the van, with Grace taking the passenger seat because she said she was too young to drive.

ā€œIt was cool,ā€ Grace said.

The entire process of creating the van took about a year. It’sĀ made up of foam, fiberglass, wood and there are a few real car components in the van like custom wheels and tires that could go on a car. It also has a working horn and headlights.

ā€œThere are lots of interactive features that really make the experience even that much more exciting,” Strong said.

Behind the cab, which is decked out with LED lights and custom purple passenger and driver chairs, there is a hammock that people can relax in.

At the back of the van is Barbieā€™s closet and a table and chairs under a TV screen playing animated Barbie shows. On the table is the actual toy van that West Coast Customs scanned for the build.

ā€œEverything thatā€™s in that toy van is on here. If you open it up youā€™ll see everything you see here,ā€Ā  Strong said, referring to the custom built van.

And because you canā€™t go camping without bringing some grub, on the other side of the van is Barbieā€™s kitchen, which includes a fridge, stove and a sink.

World of Barbie is a traveling exhibit that launched in Canada before coming to Santa Monica, and because the van doesnā€™t actually have an engine, Strong said the entire thing has to be disassembled and reassembled when it hits the road again.

ā€œWe couldnā€™t be more excited to build this project. Weā€™re all kids at heart so it makes it that much more rewarding when you see kids actually enjoy it like this,ā€ he said.

Explore a Vintage Barbie World

Did you know that the Barbie brand is over sixty years old? Conceived by Ruth Handler, the wife of one of the Mattel toy company’s co-founders, Barbie was meant to fill a gap in the market since most toy dolls at this time were representations of infants rather than adults. The first Barbie doll made its debut at New York City’s American International Toy Fair on March 9th, 1959. Barbie quickly took off in popularity after this, selling hundreds of thousands of dolls in just the first year. 

This date is now considered Barbie’s official birthday, and this iconic first doll is now on display at World of Barbie donning Barbie’s iconic black and white striped swimsuit which is also featured in the Barbie movie. There are also plenty of other blasts from the past at World of Barbie. Check out the various pink Corvettes Barbie has driven, explore the evolution of her style over the decades, and reveal the different eras and styles of Barbie’s iconic dreamhouse.    

Grab Some Bespoke Barbie Merch 

No trip to World of Barbie would be complete without a souvenir or two (or three). Fortunately, the World of Barbie has covered all their bases and features an extensive gift shop that’s filled with every conceivable piece of Barbie merchandise you can imagine. You can truly find everything here from cute Barbie mugs, eye-catching Barbie tote bags that will make your grocery runs that much more glamorous, and even sparkly Barbie Christmas ornaments. The ultimate souvenir is a Barbie t-shirt so you can bring the World of Barbie aesthetic with you wherever you go.

World of Barbie Tour | Santa Monica

entertainment , Events , Los Angeles / June 29, 2023 by Rebecca O / Leave a Comment

Barbie, the doll came into being in 1959 and was invented by a woman named Ruth Handler.  She believed that through the doll, a little girl could be anything she wanted to be.

Amazingly, Barbie is still popular today and a movie is coming out called Barbie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.  The World of Barbie Tour opened in Santa Monica and is an immersive experience for little girls and their moms (although boys are allowed) located next to the 3 rd Street Promenade.

Watch my tour of this exhibit on Instagram

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rebecca Forstadt Olkowski (@rebeccaforstadtolk)

World of Barbie wardrobe

The building is 2-story and each room has a different design straight out of Barbie memorabilia. They include a life-sized Barbie Dreamhouse, Camper Van, Fashion Studio, TV Studio, Space Center, Movie Theater, Paul Mitchell Salon, and more! 

I wasnā€™t sure what to expect when I arrived to check it out. I attended a similar immersive event for Stranger Things a while back. My first mistake was parking. I had a 2:30 pm timed ticket on a Wednesday and thought I was late because of the traffic. I parked in the first lot I saw that charged me $10 for the first hour and they said it would be $10 more for the 2 nd hour.Ā  What I should have done is to park in the 3 rd Street Promenade public lot that gives you the 1 st 90 minutes for free. Just goes to show I should have done my homework.

When I reached the entrance gate of World of Barbie I found out it didnā€™t really matter if I wasn’t right on time as we werenā€™t entering in groups like Stranger Things . All I had to do was show my ticket which I saved on my smartphone and then I was free to roam.

Barbie Space Station

Unlike Stranger Things which had actors directing you through the experience, guests at World of Barbie are free to walk through the colorful ā€œsets.ā€ Each is made for photo ops. The designs are beautiful and so very ā€œBarbie.ā€

What amused me the most was all the moms dressed up like Barbie with miniskirts and stiletto heels.  The kids were adorable too and pink was definitely the theme when it came to what to wear.

I found it a little difficult to get good photos as there were guests walking through all my shots armed with smartphone cameras. The little girls were having a blast and every mom from Baby Boomers to Millennials was remembering their childhoods playing with Barbie. I certainly did.

Barbie first careers

Iā€™m excited to see the movie as well as the previews look fun.

I spent about Ā½ hour there because I didnā€™t have kids with me. Afterward, I hurried to rescue my car and get back to Pasadena through traffic which was brutal. I would have liked to have hung out at the mall afterward or the Santa Monica Pier which was just a couple blocks away. Oh well, next time!

11/2023 The world of Barbie has moved on from Santa Monica.

Barbie is opening the doors to her Dreamhouse.

Ahead of Greta Gerwig ‘s highly anticipated and star-studded “Barbie” film, out this July, the entertainment company Kilburn Live and Mattel have teamed up in creating an immersive experience called “World of Barbie” that initially kicked off in Toronto and will now tour across North America through the summer. The experience opens in Los Angeles’s Santa Monica Place on Apr. 14. Tickets are available on the Fever website for $34.50.

Of course, the highlight of the experience is Barbie’s Dreamhouse, where guests will be able to explore the exquisitely designed rooms of the life-size Malibu mansion complete with a patio and pool, and walk-in closets filled with garments from decades of iconic Barbie fashion history.

The Los Angeles run will also feature special events and after-hour celebrations. Starting in late May, 21+ guests will be invited to Sips after Sunset, a recurring event with DJ-driven music and specialty cocktails, while June will see the opening of Pink Carpet Night, where guests will be encouraged to wear their most glamorous, “Barbiecore” attire for a night of live music, dancing and drinks.

Warner Bros. released the official trailer for Gerwig’s “Barbie” film last month. While plot details have been kept tightly under wraps, the film does find Barbie and Ken stuck in the real world, where the former discovers the challenges of being a live woman. Robbie stars opposite Ryan Gosling, who plays Barbie’s longtime boy toy Ken.

Along with Robbie and Gosling, the star-studded cast includes Will Ferrell, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells, Nicola Coughlan, Emerald Fennell, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Ncuti Gatwa and Issa Rae, among many others.

10 Epic and Stunning Santa Monica Rooftop Bars (2024)

T hereā€™s something about rooftop bars that you just donā€™t get at the ground level. The drinks are the same, but the energy is just different. Maybe itā€™s the altitude?

Whatever it is, Santa Monica rooftop bars are a popular place to enjoy nights and weekends.

So, letā€™s dig into some of our favorite rooftop bars in Santa Monica that you can enjoy with local friends and family, or while you are visiting from out-of-town during your California vacation.

The Best Santa Monica Rooftop Bars

The penthouse at the huntley hotel.

  • Address: 1111 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA 90403

Located on the roof of the Huntley Hotel is The Penthouse, one of the best rooftop bars in Santa Monica. If youā€™re a cocktail geek and love trying new, innovative drinks, youā€™ll love the Penthouse.

The panoramic views from the Penthouse may be the best you get in the city. If youā€™re looking for a fun brunch spot, this is also a great option.

Seaside on the Pier

  • Address: 250 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401

The name is no exaggeration. As the address states, itā€™s on the Santa Monica Pier itself. This rooftop lounge offers a birds-eye view (second only to the Ferris wheel).

If you want something a bit more laid back than a hotel rooftop, Seaside on the Pier caters towards AM equally as well as it does to PM. Take in the sunā€™s rays at brunch or come back for the sunset; thereā€™s no wrong answer.

  • Address: 1332 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA 90401

Every meal and drink is made better by a rooftop, but it just seems that Elephanteā€™s Italian cuisine suits a rooftop even more perfectly. In the heart of downtown, you have lots of options for nightlife, but Elephante holds its own in a sea of choices.

The cocktail menu is simple but doesnā€™t feel too short. You pay one price for shaken cocktails and another for stirred, with classics being the same price as stirred and draft cocktails being the cheapest of all.

Calabra at Santa Monica Proper

  • Address: 700 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401- Entrance on 7th St

Heads up: This is one of the top rated rooftop bars in Santa Monica ! You will want to grab a reservation to experience this beauty.

Above the Santa Monica Proper Hotel is the Calabra Rooftop. Considered among the best rooftop restaurants in Santa Monica, Forbes deems it one of the best outdoor hotel restaurant patios in Southern California. There is a serious amount of competition for that honor, so the distinction holds weight. There is an indoor and outdoor section so you can enjoy your rays or a quiet evening in (or one after the other)!

Youā€™ll be paying around $20 per cocktail (with a few being more expensive), but Calabra uses lots of craft and interesting liquors, so the price isnā€™t unreasonably steep. Beer comes in around half that price, and basic wine finds itself somewhere in the middle. For the wine connoisseur, youā€™ll find more expensive and more exclusive options on the menu that may be more to your liking.

The place is really popular, so it can be a good idea to book a spot online before heading to Calabra.

So there you go, plenty of option for you to pick the right rooftop lounge in Santa Monica, either casual and trendy or upscale and refined, this list will surely point you in the right direction when youā€™re looking the perfect views paired to the best drinks.

NOT A Rooftop Bar, but worth notingā€“

The bungalow.

  • Address: 101 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401

The Bungalow, located on the grounds of the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, is a hotspot and has been for some years now. Because of this, it tends to be crowded. If youā€™re an extrovert, youā€™ll love it. There are two levels, one on the ā€œroofā€ and one on the ground.

Being a Santa Monica hotspot, it can be a bit pricey.

However, it wonā€™t be the most expensive on this list as it goes for an upscale beach vibe, toeing the line of casual and high-priced. Fans

of complex, lighter liquors will love the Locals Only. If youā€™re looking for a darker liquor base, go for the Stay Peachy.

Want to secure a spot at the Bungalow? You can also make a reservation online .
