“I got this feeling, inside my soul…it goes electric wavy when I turn it on!”
That lyric from Justin Timberlake’s Grammy award-winning song, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” from DreamWorks “Trolls” sums up how my kids felt when they entered Trolls the Experience on Friday: electric.
In Celebration of Hug Week (January 22 – January 27) we were invited to check out Troll Village in the heart of Manhattan. Based on the 2016 hit animated movie, the immersive production is a sprawling space of interactive stations, photo ops and endless fun.
Upon entry, kids are invited to Poppy’s Best Day Ever Bash where they’re given exclusive passes to the hottest party in town. The exclusive ticket outlines the adventurous journey that lies ahead along the rainbow-painted path. Troll ambassadors also explain to attendees that there’s an exciting scavenger hunt at each of the four main stations, where they can pick up and collect cool mementos to include in their scrapbook at the After Party.
The four main interactive checkpoints leading up to Poppy’s party include: Branch’s Musical Mash-Up, Sparkle On Caterbus, Critter Creek, and, of course, Poppy’s Best Day Ever. From making music to catching confetti “gems” on a bug-inspired bus, little ones are treated to an unforgettable time that let’s their imaginations run wild.
For those lucky VIP members (an add-on to the general admission ticket), the first stop on the colorful road to Poppy’s big bash is Hair-Up where kids can get their hair styled a la Trolls (wigs) and eye-catching makeup done to wear throughout the experience.
The immersive journey culminated with a 3D dance party and a personal meet-and-greet with Poppy herself! From start to finish, my kids enjoyed every aspect of Trolls the Experience. Plus, they even got the opportunity to indulge in sweet treats and purchase merchandise at the super cute gift shop. To say it was the “best day ever” would be an understatement!
