If you’ve seen the “Trolls Band Together” movie, then surely you’re itching to jump into the characters’ joyful world.
Well, CAMP 5th Avenue in New York City is offering just that right now.
With no official end date yet, the experience will be open until February 2024. Kids can play and explore Bergen Town, Vacay Island, and Pop Village for a one-of-a-kind musical adventure that plops them right into the movie.
As you step through CAMP’s Magic Door, which is a speakeasy-style passageway, you enter a 4,500-square-foot play space that was inspired by the world of Trolls Band Together.
You then will navigate through a Troll-hair-filled tunnel (or “trunnel”), where you’re met with Counselors who will lead you singing and dancing into the fantasy world. Throughout the experience, they will be around to engage families with dance parties and games, but attendees will be free to explore however they choose.
While the experience will be most enjoyed by kids ages 3-10, the Trolls x CAMP experience is designed for everyone, according to CAMP Chief Experience Officer Amanda Raposo. “Parents will have as much of a blast dancing in Mount Rageous as kids will enjoy meeting Poppy and Branch,” Raposo says.
This means to make sure to wear clothes that you can run around, dance, and play in, in order to soak up all the fun the experience has to offer.
The hours for the event are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. daily, with weekday rates starting at $39 and weekend rates starting at $48. Some days have reduced rates due to the fact that the Poppy and Branch characters will not be making appearances at the experience, but everything else will stay the same.
There are also options to purchase additional add-ons to the experience, including a trip to Mr. Dinkles’ Sparkle Spa to get a makeover into kids’ beloved characters: Poppy, Branch, and Viva, all of which includes a wig and face paint. These options are an additional $38, or opt for a Poppy headband for $20.
The experience concludes with stepping into the living bus named Rhonda for an interactive video game, and then being handed 3D glasses for a Trollpop concert with live performers and 3D graphics on the jumbotrons.
“From the moment the magic door opens, guests are immediately transported into a world of live music, dancing, glitter and magic,” Raposo says. “Steering Rhonda to Mount Rageous, dancing to your favorite nostalgic pop songs and new classics from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack and popping into Mr. Dinkles’ Sparkle Spa for a Troll glow-up are a few of the exciting aspects.”
Interested parties are encouraged to make reservations ahead of time on CAMP’s website, as tickets are only available at the door if day-of space is available.
