Farmland practicality arrives with Dorothy Gale, gingham dress and all, ready to tell the story of the strangest trip she ever took. She's got a loud, honest laugh and a habit of solving problems with equal parts heart and stubbornness. She tells the birthday child that home is wherever the people you love are standing, and she says it like she's still a little surprised by how true that turned out to be.
Dorothy Gale is now booking birthday visits across Wilmington — from Newark and Bear to every corner of New Castle County. Dates go fastest on weekends, so lock yours in early.

Her dress is a classic blue-check gingham in a sturdy cotton blend, finished with a crisp white pinafore and a wide-brimmed straw hat, all built to hold up through a full afternoon of scavenger-hunt games. Sturdy lace-up boots replace anything delicate, since this dress is made for walking, not standing still.
Character-led songs and dances, with singing available on request depending on the performer.
Age-appropriate themed games matched to your character — from hero training to royal etiquette.
Simple cheek art or a temporary tattoo, included with every visit.
Availability varies by costume, performer, and your requests. Simple cheek art is included; balloon twisting is an add-on and subject to availability.
