If you’ve ever fantasized about what life would be like in a Dr. Seuss book, then you only need to dream on a little bit longer. The Dr. Seuss Experience is coming to the US in 2021.

The exhibit is designed to be an immersive experience through nine different worlds in the Seuss universe. Visitors will feel like they’re one of the characters as they head through a balloon-filled maze from Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, listen for Whos in a field of clovers from Horton Hears a Who!, and walk under Truffula Trees from The Lorax.

In addition to living your favorite childhood stories, there’ll be plenty of Instagram opportunities and character meet and greets within the 15,000-square-foot space.

The exhibit was in Toronto in 2019-2020, and is now making its way to the US in 2021, starting with Houston, Texas, from May 15 to August 15. There were plans for the show to come to Boston and Seattle, but no details have been announced as of yet.

Just like its location, the experiences within the exhibit will change in each city. Some of the rooms will be switched out for other Seuss novels, and there’ll even be changes for the time of the year. Whatever city gets a How the Grinch Stole Christmas-themed experience for the holidays should expect to be the object of much envy.

Tickets for the Houston exhibit (taking place at George R. Brown Convention Center) will be on sale starting April 17, 2021.
