Measuring three feet tall and featuring three stories, eight rooms, a pool and a slide, it will provide endless hours of entertainment, and after joining in on the fun you might find yourself wanting to move in.
It also has a working elevator, with room for four Barbie dolls or a Barbie doll in a wheelchair, a carport and a home office, because WFH is still a thing for Barbie.
The purple couch turns into a bunkbed meaning your child's friends can bring their Barbie's round and have lots of sleepovers, and there is a pretend oven to whip up a yummy breakfast the next day.
Fill the pool with water and Barbie and co can slide down the purple slide and splash straight into their own home pool, on the second storey.
Even the toilet has a flush sound, with the press of a button, and the stove sizzles while you make eggs for Barbie's friends. This Barbie Dreamhouse comes with over 60 play pieces, some with plug-and-play design for realistic imaginative play.
If you're still on the fence if your children would love it, the reviews speak for themselves. "My children have not stopped playing with this" Great attention to detail throughout the house, lots of extra accessories. Easy to put together and seems sturdy," wrote one happy customer.
"It was easy to build - I did it on my own with no issue. It all clicks in REALLY well. Overall, I am really impressed with it. Lots of hidden bits I wouldn't have seen before and plenty of accessories. My six year old was made up with it. AND best of all... I am finally living my childhood fantasies!" said another, with one shopper declaring "my daughter loves this so much!"
