WARNING: It's going to be super picture heavy!
Since I knew it would be in Berlin I wanted to go there and tried to find people who wanted to go there with me. It wasn't that hard as I believed first and I suddenly had two friends who wanted to go there. In the end I only went with one of them.
The opening was on my birthday and ever since I wanted to go there everyday. I always said if I had known it early I would have had celebrated my birthday there. XD I said that just to annoy the others, but at the same time thought it would have been a cute idea. ^^
I'm talking about the Barbie Dreamhouse.
On 11th July I finally could go there. I met up with Lulu around 10:30am. Which was kinda hard, because I was on summer holidays, which means I slept super long and was lying in the sun all the time. Both of us were a bit late, because it was "too" early in the morning for us. ^^" Finally both of us were there and we went across the Alexanderplatz to get to the Barbie Dreamhouse. It opened at 10:00am and we hoped that it won't be too crowded in the morning. We were lucky enough and the waiting line wasn't really long.
But first thing to do after arriving there was taking pictures.
So I'm telling you right at the beginning, the pictures from outside the Barbie Dreamhouse are okay, but inside was a horrible lighting and everything was pink with a lighter shade of pink and even the spotlights were pink. That's why on most pictures people and things are pink even when they were in other colors.
And yes I kind of documented the whole Barbie Dreamhouse in pictures and short video clips. I'll show you a few of them. ^^
Onto the first pictures:
 |
| in front of the Barbie Dreamhouse |
 |
| the entrance |
On both sides of the entrance was a big vitrine with a lot of different styled Barbies, all in pink outfits. We spend a few minutes there to look at all of them. ^^
 |
| the waiting line in front of the ticket desk |
I loved it, that the ticket desk was in a "paper box" just like the Barbie dolls in the shops.
At first I didn't recognized it at all, but after a few seconds I realized what it was. ^^
Finally through with the tickets, we also took the RFID-bracelet to play games and first had to register in Barbie's Dreamhouse for it. We could choose an avatar and a nick name. I chose Barbie (actually I wanted Teresa, but something went wrong ;_;) and sure I chose MomokoHime as a nick. XD What else...
The first thing to enter was an elevator to get to the big pink kitchen of the Barbie Dreamhouse.
 |
| Barbie and her sisters |
 |
| yummy a supersized cupcake. XD actually it was a wastebin |
 |
| next to Barbie and her sisters ^^ |
Finally an overview of the kitchen. Everything was pink, pink, pink and a few sprinkles of white, like the real Barbie Dreamhouse. The center part of the kitchen was the gaming section were we could "bake" cupcakes with the RFID-bracelet.
 |
| an overview |
 |
| the cupcake I made ^^ |
You also could push buttons to light up the ovens and the cupcakes inside started turning around. This was so funny, like the real Barbie kitchen I had when I was a child.
 |
| my favourite cupcake |
 |
| and Lulu's favourite cupcake |
After spending quite a while in the kitchen looking at everything, taking photos and baking cupcakes, we moved on to the next room.
It was the special cooling room, maybe they wanted to imitate a huge freezer, but I just called it "The Ice Room". Everything turned from pink to blue and it immediately got so cool. XD
 |
| a vitrine with a lot of awesome looking cakes |
 |
| one of my favos |
 |
| and another one |
In every room were a few vitrines with special Barbie dolls and the "Ice Room" had one of the coolest of them all.
 |
| the vitrine with the ice themed Barbies |
 |
| and our favourite doll she's just too awesome and her outfit is the most extravagant of them all |
Everything was full with ice cube shaped walls and even the armchairs looked like they were made of ice cubes. They also imitated icicles out of little crystal-like plastic pearls.
 |
| the Ice-Princess |
After we were finished we had to cross the kitchen again to go to the next room, the living room:
 |
| me and Barbie's award |
 |
| a pic with Ryan and Raquelle |
I love these two, they are so funny in the Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse series. XD I actually love their style, but can't stand it that they always turn the dark haired and more rock styled characters into the "bad" ones. This is kind of annoying. (>_>)"
The living room was a really huge room and we could play the piano, a puzzle on a screen (with the RFID-bracelet) and also write an entry in Barbie's friends book. There also were a few special dolls shown, pictures and a big bookshelf of Barbie's books. ^^
 |
| my entry |
After that we went to the beach and had a wonderful day and night there. ^^
 |
| overview of the beach |
The room with the beach had day & night changes and with that even the sounds changed a bit. That was so cool. When it was night time it was really hard to take pics, because the lighting got even more worse.
 |
| some of the beach dolls |
This was a funny thing. In all the other rooms were vitrines for the dolls and the one on the beach was one of these fridges with a glass door, like in shops or supermarkets. There was even sand in it to simulate the beach.
And as always posing, posing, posing:
 |
| waiting to sell some juice and lemonade ^^ |
 |
| and chilling at the beach in the sun |
The beach wasn't that big and we returned to the living room again, to get to the next room.
On our way there we passed a wall with pictures of Barbie's life, friends, family and pets. It was a bit like in Harry Potter, because the pictures were changing and we suddenly felt like being in Hogwarts. XD
On the opposite side was the home of Barbie's pets. We then met Taffy, Tawny and Blissa.
All the rooms were on different floors. On each floor a few rooms. Moving from floor to floor you needed to take the elevator. That was so funny, because it wasn't a real elevator, just a small room in between with an animation, so you feel like being in an elevator. Sometimes there was a screen and a video message from Barbie herself.

here you can see the inside of the elevator
it also was pink, what else XD
Then we entered the huge bed room. The bedroom was a lot of fun, because we took a lot of silly pics. ^^
 |
| took a pic with Barbie's friends Teresa, Nikki, Midge |
 |
| a huge music box it even worked properly |
 |
| Barbie's bed is sooo huge |
 |
| a slide in the shape of a pump XD |
 |
| comfy bed ^^ |
You also could activate the ceiling of the bed with your RFID-bracelet. You had to hold your bracelet against the right section at the bed and than the ceiling got activated and some personalized surprise appeared there. ^o^

WHAT'S THAT?
 |
| a scared edition of the MomokoHime doll XD |
The funny thing with these was, that around the glass box were a lot in a smaller size with Barbie dolls in it. That means we could be the doll in the box. ^^
Some of those awesome special edition Barbies:
 |
| I love her dress so much |
 |
| Paris Barbie |
 |
| here is the whole "family" Skipper, Chelsea & Blissa, Barbie, Taffy, Ken, Stacie |
Next to the bedroom was Barbie's bathroom.
 |
| the styling section |
 |
| the bathtub |
 |
| and the toilet XD |
To get the joke with the dolphins you actually need to know the show Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse. There was this episode where Stacie got dolphins as pets and Ken accidentally joined the aquarium with the plumping and the dolphins swam around the whole neigbourhood through the pipes. XD"
And on the screen at the styling section was exact this episode playing all day. Too funny! XD
Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse "Accidentally on Porpoise"
the episode I was talking about XD
The bathroom was also stuffed with a lot of super pretty mermaid dolls in bull's eyes. That was such an awesome arrangement!
 |
| this one is so pretty |
 |
| I like her because she has purple clothing XD |
 |
| such a cutie |
 |
| super pretty and colourful |
Back to the bedroom we decided to play another game and this time created a postcard for Barbie. ^^
 |
| my postcard |
Crossing the bedroom to get to the next room. Let's say it's the most important part of Barbie and nearly every little princess and girl. The wardrobe!
It wasn't like a wardrobe at all. It was a big room with different ways and different things to discover.
 |
| the center part |
 |
| another view of the center the purple wall is from her shoe cabinet |
The shoe cabinet's wall was purple and had a shoe print on it. You could discover various shoes there.
This was a quite interesting part and we even watched the documentary, because it was so interesting to see the process of it.
Slowly getting near the wardrobe:
With your friends directing you through your wardrobe you will never get lost in it. ^^
In this section you were allowed to colour in pictures of Barbie. You also could stick rhinestones and feathers onto the pictures. ^^
We decided that these were for parents to chill, while their kids had fun drawing and styling Barbie's hair or preparing for the catwalk and the the popstar stage.
Now comes the special part which you had to pay extra. It's the catwalk and the popstar stage specials.
It was so funny to watch the kids do that. It were mainly smaller ones who couldn't even remember the choreography they had learned a few minutes ago. XD"""
Especially the ones at the popstar stage. It was just too funny. *tehe*
The annoying thing was that they always used the same Barbie song over and over again.
Nearly at the end of the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience!
The wall reminded us of a purikura machine, with the styled girl and a lot of accessories around her. In that case it was Barbie with her beloved things, but could have been a puri machine. XD
In the shop you could buy a lot of things, especially things from the Dreamhouse show, like Barbie's pets, her Dreamhouse and a Barbie doll styled like in the show. There also was some stationaries and other Barbie stuff.
I had a peach flavoured cupcake and Lulu had a lime flavoured one. Even when it looks like it's totally chemical, especially in the topping, these cupcakes tasted pretty good and gave us the needed strength to go back home. ^^
After more than four hours in pink we finally left the Barbie Cafe and took some last pictures.
 |
| a screen with limited edition Barbie dolls and a documentary about the process of painting and decorating a doll |

This was a quite interesting part and we even watched the documentary, because it was so interesting to see the process of it.
Slowly getting near the wardrobe:
 |
| Nikki directing you to the shoe cabinet |
 |
| Raquelle directing you to the jewelry and accessories |
 |
| Midge showed the direction to the hat section |
 |
| and Teresa showing the direction to the clothes and purses |
With your friends directing you through your wardrobe you will never get lost in it. ^^
 |
| Barbie's super huge wardrobe |
Everyone needs such a wardrobe. I would finally get all my dresses in there without any problems. ^^"
After we were through the huge wardrobe and the shoe cabinet we made our way to the airplane to get to Paris - the city of fashion.
Actually we thought we're going to enter a new elevator to get back to the ground floor, but when we entered we were told we had to fly to Paris. This was so funny, because I was a few weeks earlier in Paris. Remember the DIR EN GREY concert? XD
 |
| like a real plane XD |
a short video of the plane
He was asking everyone if they had all their kids together. So nobody get's left behind.
 |
| Barbie as captain is talking to us XD |
the beginning of Barbie's welcoming message on the plane
Finally we arrived in Paris. Everything went fine and nothing was delayed or such things.
First we looked around, because we couldn't decide what to do and after a little stroll we went to see the Eiffel Tower. XD
 |
| looks like the real one XDDD |
 |
| cruising around town |
 |
| the drawing and hand crafting section |
In this section you were allowed to colour in pictures of Barbie. You also could stick rhinestones and feathers onto the pictures. ^^
 |
| the wall with some pictures |
We decided that these were for parents to chill, while their kids had fun drawing and styling Barbie's hair or preparing for the catwalk and the the popstar stage.
 |
| chilling with Barbie |
 |
| relaxing with Barbie XD |
Now comes the special part which you had to pay extra. It's the catwalk and the popstar stage specials.
 |
| make up section for the kids to get ready |
 |
| the catwalk |
 |
| and the popstar stage |
It was so funny to watch the kids do that. It were mainly smaller ones who couldn't even remember the choreography they had learned a few minutes ago. XD"""
Especially the ones at the popstar stage. It was just too funny. *tehe*
The annoying thing was that they always used the same Barbie song over and over again.
Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse "Everybody needs a Ken"
Nearly at the end of the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience!
 |
| Barbie's awesome camping van |
The van was a small cinema and they screened all the Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse Episodes there. So funny, but I already knew all of them. That reminds me that I need to watch the new episodes. XD
After we were finally finished with everything we left Paris again and suddenly we were at the Barbie Dreamhouse merchandising shop.
I even took pictures of it. As everything else it was in a Barbie themed pink. ^^"
 |
| looks like a purikura machine ^^ |
The wall reminded us of a purikura machine, with the styled girl and a lot of accessories around her. In that case it was Barbie with her beloved things, but could have been a puri machine. XD
 |
| Barbie's Dreamhouse |
In the shop you could buy a lot of things, especially things from the Dreamhouse show, like Barbie's pets, her Dreamhouse and a Barbie doll styled like in the show. There also was some stationaries and other Barbie stuff.
 |
| one of the shelfs stuffed with dolls and plushies |
After that we decided to take a break and get something sweet. We went to the Barbie Cafe, which also was in a pink theme, and had cupcakes.
 |
| Barbie Cafe |
 |
| the interior with pink plastic chairs and white tables like a real Barbie Cafe ^^ |
 |
| our cupcakes ♥ |
I had a peach flavoured cupcake and Lulu had a lime flavoured one. Even when it looks like it's totally chemical, especially in the topping, these cupcakes tasted pretty good and gave us the needed strength to go back home. ^^
After more than four hours in pink we finally left the Barbie Cafe and took some last pictures.
 |
| the exit |
And two short videos of the exit, so you can see what was on the walls. ^^
the wall with Barbie in her different jobs
and the opposite wall
with the characters from the Life in the Dreamhouse show
saying goodbye to the visitors in different languages
Finally outside again and some last pictures of Barbie's Dreamhouse.
 |
| the far left side of the front |
 |
| some silly picture as a farewell XD |
 |
| the right side of the front |
 |
| and the outside area of the Barbie Cafe |
 |
| my stuff from the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience the picture I coulored in, my ticket, a leaflet and a notbook. |
After that we were super exhausted and pretty tired. Our feet hurt so much and even my back. To be honest even my eyes hurt a bit, because the lighting in the Dreamhouse was so awful with all the pink spotlights.
Nevertheless we had a fun day and it was totally worth the money. I never expected it to be this much fun!
It was inspired by Teresa. As a child I loved her and she was my favourite doll. She has brown hair and mostly was dressed in purple clothes (at least as a princess ^^) and I loved it that she wasn't as pink as Barbie always is.
