Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days
Join us at Glazer Children’s Museum for a meow-gical day with Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse! Bring your kiddos to meet the costumed Gabby character for hugs, high-fives, and a picture purr-fect moment during Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOEWseum Discovery Days at GCM, presented by DreamWorks Animation and the Association of Children’s Museums.
Meet-and-Greet | August 16 – 17, 2025
Join us on Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17, to meet Gabby, the beloved costumed character from Gabby’s Dollhouse! This event is included in General Admission and GCM Membership, but does require a first-come-first served advanced registration for a timed meet-and-greet slot. Meet-and-greets will take place in 30-minute slots from 9:45am-4:45pm. The lineup for each meet-and-greet slot starts 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of the meet-and-greet. For example, if you are in the 9:45am slot, you will start lining up at 9:30am.
The Meet & Greet has limited capacity. Advanced registration is required. Standby options may be available on the day of the Meet & Greet, but it is not guaranteed that guests without a reservation will be able to meet Gabby. Photos will be taken family-style with one pose per group.

About Gabby’s Dollhouse
With a little magic and a daily dollhouse delivery, Gabby’s Dollhouse leads kids room to room through a fantastical dollhouse with mini-worlds, irresistible kitty characters, and delightfully quirky adventures. It’s the ultimate in dollhouse wish fulfillment… shrinking down and playing inside your own magical dollhouse world.
From the creators of Blue’s Clues, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and Team Umizoomi, Gabby’s Dollhouse is anchored on the principles of having a growth mindset. Episodes encourage children to have flexible thinking so they can learn from mistakes and solve problems. Who wouldn’t want to let their imagination loose with Pandy Paws, Cakey, DJ Catnip, and more? Gabby’s Dollhouse is currently on Netflix globally.
Gabby is positive and determined, with a penchant for getting into and out of silly situations. She embraces imperfection and celebrates mistakes. There are nine fantastical cats in the dollhouse, each with a different personality, set of interests, imaginative ideas, and ways of finding solutions.

How will the meet-and-greet go?
Guests with reservations can join the queue up to 15 minutes before their reservation time in the Learning Center on Level 3 of the Museum. The end of the queue may be coming up the stairwell from level two. Reservation windows are in 30-minute increments, and you should be in line before the end of your time slot. To allow for a maximum number of kids to meet Gabby, each reserved group will get to pose for a family-style picture and take one photo with Gabby, give a quick high-five or hug, and let the next group come up to have their turn. Museum staff will be available to use your phone to take the picture.
Can I arrive at the Museum in advance of my reservation time?
Absolutely, all reservations can enter anytime after Museum opening at 9:30am. We encourage guests to give ample time to park, check in through Guest Services, and arrive at the meet & greet area on Level 3, but you can come earlier in the day to enjoy the Museum before your reservation time as well.
Can I wear my Gabby branded clothes or will there be items that I can purchase?
We definitely encourage guests to come dressed for the occasion! We will have a limited number of kitty ear headbands and plush available to purchase by the queue line.
Will there be other things to do in the Museum that are related to Gabby’s Dollhouse?
YES! Our MakeSpace exhibit on Level 2 will have a scavenger hunt, crafts, and coloring activities for all guests to enjoy. A meet-and-greet reservation is not required to enjoy the craft activities in MakeSpace.
What if I don’t have the proper ID with me to verify eligibility for the Florida resident or Museums for All ticket that I reserved?
You can always upgrade to the full-priced ticket at the Guest Services counter to retain your reserved time if you do not provide the necessary ID for the ticket level purchased. Verifiable ID/eligibility cards are required for museum members and Museums for All discounted reservations.
What if I miss my reserved time?
We will have a standby line available that you are welcome to join if you miss your timed reservation.
What if I have an extra person above what I reserved tickets for?
The guests with reserved tickets can choose to go at their scheduled time, or you can join the standby line with an additional person above the reserved amount. We will try our best to accommodate, but we can only guarantee that the reserved guests will meet Gabby.
What if I didn’t know about the opportunity to meet Gabby and didn’t secure tickets, but I’m here today and would like to participate?
Guests without reservations may be able to join a limited standby queue. We cannot guarantee that you will have the opportunity to meet Gabby, but we will do our best to accommodate you.
Where will the standby line be located?
The limited standby line will be located on level three of the Museum. Staff will be there to direct you once you reach level 3 if there is availability.
