Hot take: If you have a little Blippi fan in your home, this show does not disappoint.

About Blippi: The Wonderful World Tour
One of my biggest concerns taking my 3-year-old to any performance is him not sitting still. Not only did his eyes not leave the stage, but the kids were actually encouraged to get up and dance along with Blippi and his friends. The show runs for 60 minutes in total with a 20-minute intermission in the middle. The 30-minute halves go very quickly. My children, ranging in age from 3-7, were enthralled by the characters, stories, and songs for the entire duration of the show.
During the show, you’re first greeted by Blippi’s new friend Meekah. She comes in on a bike and grabs the audience's attention right from the start. Then Blippi and his friends come in, singing through all his staple hits and even bringing in life-sized props such as the Blippi mobile, an excavator, and a monster truck. There’s also his staple boat song and a super cool number featuring a dinosaur song with the cast dressed as dinosaurs.
There were a ton of little ones dressed as Blippi. Many parents were also dressed like Blippi and Meekah, which adds to the fun, and is a little odd, too! Your little one will be singing along to their favorite Blippi songs while twisting and dancing through the entire show.
Meet Blippi and Meekah
In select cities, you can purchase passes to meet Blippi and Meekah and have a family photo taken. The photo passes are $50 per person plus fees. After the show, guests who purchased the photo opportunity are asked to remain in their seats. Then, Blippi and Meekah come back on stage and you’re able to bring the little ones up for a photo taken with the pair. Photos are taken using your own cell phone, so you’ll have them right away.
