My family was invited to check out Happy Place to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
Where is your Happy Place? Last weekend, ours was at Mandalay Bay here in Vegas where the Happy Place Pop-up experience is happening now!
This cute little spot was packed to the brim with Insta-worthy photo shoot locations, including a unicorn forest, a confetti party room, and the kids’ favorite- a giant ball pit! Check out some of the cute photos we got:
This was our first time at a place like this, where the main draw is to take photos. We had a very successful outing and picked up a few tips to share with you if it’s your first time too:
Come ready! Since the Happy Place exhibit has been touring other cities already, I checked out some photos from others who have been there to get photo inspiration. That way, when we had our turn with the photo props or in the rooms, I knew exactly how to direct the kiddos for a good shot!
Be patient. The areas are tiny and while you’re allowed to go at your own pace, there may be some traffic jams. Just remember that everyone else paid to be there too and that you’ll get your turn too!
Be courteous. That said, please try to be mindful of others and don’t take up an entire area or hog all the time. Feel free to take a few shots, but if a display only allows a couple people at a time be sure to hurry it up and let others have a turn too.
Make it fun. My kids had a blast in each area, and that’s because I let them explore for a moment before taking photos. They will totally get burnt out if you just point and click and point and click and point and… you get the point {and click}. Let them pick a pose or two for each shoot and have fun with it! You’ll get more of their personality in the photo if you let them do what they want.
Share your photos! Of course, what’s the point of having all these cute photos if you aren’t going to share them!? Post them to your social media, or have them printed and framed to hang in your house. They are so much more fun than traditional family photos and they would be so cute used for holiday cards!
