It’s always Barbie this and that. Now it’s Polly Pocket’s time to shine! Back in the late ’80s, the original Polly Pocket toys were teeny plastic compacts that housed a house or playset with dolls that were barely an inch tall. Later on, in the early aughts, the design changed to slightly larger pocket-sized dolls with fabulous clothes and accessories made of rubber, and we all had this inexplicable urge to chew on them. One redditor put it eloquently, saying the urge to chew was like a “beckoning call.” Anyways, let’s move on.
To celebrate Polly Pocket’s 35th birthday, fans can now stay in a life-sized model of a Polly Pocket slumber party compact. Located in a picturesque field in Littleton, Massachusetts, this 42-foot Airbnb is filled to the brim with nostalgia, from oversized furniture to chunky plastic decor.
Inside, guests can enjoy various things. There’s a vanity with hair accessories and press-on nails for them to use, a kitchen stocked with ’90s snacks like Baby Bottle Pops. They can also explore a closet filled with wearable versions of Polly’s most iconic outfits and play in a human-sized version of the Action Park Tent. And there’s even a picnic table for making friendship bracelets to commemorate the experience. For sleeping, they can choose between the pull-out couch in the living room or the sleeping bags in the tent.
Tik Tok is buzzing with influencer tours of the property, showing off the open concept and throwback aesthetic. Fans can book one of three overnight stays from September 12 to 14, with a maximum of four guests per night. Each stay costs $89 per person, in honor of Polly Pocket’s debut in 1989.
If you missed the rush to book, don’t worry. Airbnb is also offering 21 daytime playdates from September 16 to October 6, with up to 12 guests each. Booking for both experiences at the Polly Pocket Airbnb opens on August 21.
It’s time to step into a world of Polly Pocket nostalgia and have a truly unique experience. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for some fun, this Airbnb is sure to bring back memories and create new ones. So, get ready to have a pocketful of fun!
