Everyone needs a ticket\, regardless of age. Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seats without disturbing other guests. As a further courtesy to our guests\, Broadway in the Rio Grande Valley recommends one parent or chaperone for every one child in attendance.\n \nPHOTO EXPERIENCE UPGRADE:\n \nMeet Blippi ON STAGE and have the opportunity to take your photo with Blippi in this one-of-a-kind Photo Experience!\nYou’ll also receive a souvenir tour lanyard with a Be Like Blippi Tour Pass to commemorate the day. Don’t miss your chance to create unforgettable\, treasured memories with your children that will last a lifetime!\n \nHere’s how it works: Photo Experience ticket purchasers should go to the Will Call window at the Box Office on the show day to pick up their passes and after-show instructions. Each adult and child (age two and up) in a group must have a Photo Experience ticket in order to attend. The Photo Experience will start shortly after the show.\n \nPlease make sure to bring your camera\, as you will want to capture every moment!\n \nParents\, please note that while most children are excited to meet their favorite characters up-close\, others can feel frightened. If your child is scared or hesitant to meet Blippi\, we recommend moving to the back of the line. This will allow your child the extra time they may need to warm up to Blippi and see how they interact with other children present.\n \nAdmission to the performance is not included in the Photo Experience ticket. This is a separate upgrade that must be purchased in advance. Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Each child\, parent\, or guardian must have a show ticket as well as a Photo Experience ticket to attend.\n \nBUY TICKETS NOW
