A Day in the Park with BarneyLive showAbout A Day in the Park with BarneyThe queue empties into a covered pre-show area that looks upon an odd-looking house facade, covered in pipes, knobs and doors. It's home to a unique character, Mr. Peek-A-Boo (whose nickname just happens to be the same as his favorite game). There's a small song and some cute gags before we're led into the main show building. Inside? It's a fake park, but it's done in a very convincing manner and it's also air conditioned! A lot of special effects have been added to the room to change the setting from a sunny day to a starry night, and leaves and snow fall from the ceiling at certain points of the show. There's an elevated, circular stage in the center where Barney, Baby-Bop and B.J. sing and dance. Barney marches to the ever-popular "Barney Theme Song", dances to a number of different popular tunes, some old and some new, before wrapping up with the traditional "I Love You" song. After the show, guests exit out into Barney's Backyard, an indoor activity center for the little tykes, where they can also get their picture taken, if but briefly, with Barney himself. After the show, the theater empties into Barney's Backyard, a highly themed indoor play area. -- Last edited by Joe Lane Photos from A Day in the Park with BarneySafety
Readers' Opinions
I dare you Barney-loathing adults and teens to watch this without kids (think of it as a benign, yet excruciating alternative to the evil shock site videos)! I went to the show for the final time in 2002 - at age 12 (I was a former Barney fan) and liked it still. - Tiffany Alfonso Hmmm...Barney is not even on TV any more in the UK. Time for a change here I think! Okay for what it is I suppose. - Mark Moore I hate to admit it, but of all the children’s shows in Orlando, this one really is well done and kids LOVE it. - Rob McCullough It was actually o.k. Obviously this is not a must see unless you have really young kids in your party but if you do find yourself in this show it is a nice place to sit down and relax. There are some park benches surrounding the theatre that are a good place to rest. - Manny Barron it is really for little kids but for adults i do have to say that the kid play area is pretty neat. you have to try the water harp all the way in the back, its really cute. - Amber Myers The only reason to see it is if you have little kids who like Barney - Dan Rosenberg
