This weekend, Navy Pier is set to become a magical wonderland as Unicorn World, an immersive and family-friendly pop-up, makes its grand debut. The highly anticipated attraction promises to bring to life the enchanting world of unicorns through life-size animatronics, interactive activities, and more.
According to a press release, Unicorn World has been a hit in 20 other cities since its debut in 2023. Now, it’s finally making its way to Chicago and is ready to mesmerize visitors of all ages.
The highlight of the event is, of course, the life-size animatronic unicorns. These magnificent creatures will be brought to life through state-of-the-art technology, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Children and parents alike will be able to interact with these magical creatures and even take photos with them.
But that’s not all, Unicorn World has so much more to offer. Visitors can explore the immersive enchanted forests, filled with vibrant colors and whimsical elements. From giant mushrooms to sparkling waterfalls, the forest is a feast for the eyes and a perfect backdrop for photos.
For those looking for more interactive experiences, there will be unicorn-themed activities to participate in. From arts and crafts to games and challenges, there’s something for everyone. And for the little ones, a special section will be available with activities tailored for babies and toddlers under two years old.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Families can also enter the “balloon bubble houses” and make wishes at the “wish wall.” And for those looking to take a piece of Unicorn World home with them, the “world’s largest unicorn vending machine” will be selling a variety of unicorn-themed prizes.
