For 35 years, Polly PocketTM has always been, well, pocket-sized – that is, until now. This summer, Polly’s iconic home straight out of a ‘90s dream is now open for an adventure of life-sized proportions, only on Airbnb.
To celebrate Polly Pocket’s 35th birthday, the pocket-sized doll is becoming an Airbnb host and opening her vintage-themed, two-story Slumber Party Fun compact, bringing to life a tiny world where imagination has no bounds. The pad is packed with nostalgic surprises to take guests right back to their childhoods while getting the 411 on the pocket-sized life.

“I can’t wait for you to visit and help celebrate my birthday in my most epic compact ever,” said Polly. “Let’s have some serious slumber party fun in my hometown of Littleton, where we make the ordinary extraordinary. There’s adventure to be had from my closet full of nostalgic fashion fun to the surprises I’ve left hidden around the compact. The fun is endless!”
About the Stay
Located in the quaint town of Littleton, Massachusetts, Polly’s 42-foot-tall compact takes “tiny but mighty” to a new level. Guests can request to book one of three one-night stays occurring September 12 to 14 for four guests each, at $89 per person – a nod to Polly’s debut on the scene in 1989. As they step into Polly’s world, guests can:
- Explore every nook and cranny of the iconic compact, where a few hidden surprises await
- Get ready at Polly’s vanity, stuffed with nostalgic hair and nail accessories of her favorite colors. Did someone call for press on nails?
- Check out the retro fridge and craft the snack-filled picnic every ‘90s kid wanted
- Try on the doll life for size in Polly’s closet, where her most iconic throwback looks hang waiting to be worn in joyful hues and glossy silhouettes in the beloved signature gummy texture
- Kick back in the living room with some popcorn, a movie and plenty of pillows
- Doze off on Polly’s pull-out couch or cozy up in her life-sized Action Park Tent just 10 feet away from the compact after filling up on slumber party fun
- Make custom, Polly-approved charm bracelets to match with your BFF
