Here’s how it works!

PHOTO EXPERIENCE ADD-ON ticket purchasers should go to the Will Call window at the Box Office on the show day to pick up their passes and after-show instructions. Each adult and child (age two and up) in a group must have a PHOTO EXPERIENCE ADD-ON ticket in order to attend.

The Photo Experience will start shortly after the end of show.

Please make sure to bring your camera, as you will want to capture every moment!

Parents, please note that while most children are excited to meet their favorite characters up-close, others can feel frightened. If your child is scared or hesitant to meet Blippi, we recommend moving to the back of the line; This will allow your child the extra time they may need to warm up to Blippi and see how they interact with other children present.

For the safety of all guests and performers, no touching or hugging will be permitted.

Important: 

• Admission to the performance is not included in the PHOTO EXPERIENCE ADD-ON ticket. The ADD-ON is a separate upgrade that must be purchased in advance.
  
  
• Children age 12 and under must be accompanied by a Parent/Guardian.
  
  
• Each Child, Parent or Guardian must have a show ticket [CLICK HERE TO BUY] as well as a PHOTO EXPERIENCE ADD-ON ticket in order to attend.
