About Inside Out

Bring the colorful world of Inside Out to life as Joy, Sadness, Anxiety or your favorite emotions step straight out of Headquarters and into your celebration. Dressed in beautifully detailed, photo-ready costumes, these beloved characters create an unforgettable entrance that surprises children and delights adults who instantly recognize the Disney and Pixar classic.

Inside Out is one of those rare stories that connects with every generation. Children love the fun personalities and colorful characters, while parents appreciate the heartwarming message about emotions, growing up and family. When the characters arrive, excitement spreads through the whole room. Kids rush over for hugs and high-fives, while adults are just as eager to snap photos and relive one of Pixar’s most beloved films.

The visit is fully interactive and designed to keep every guest involved. Joy brings endless energy with upbeat games and dancing, Sadness adds sweet and gentle moments, while Anxiety delivers plenty of funny, over-the-top reactions that older kids especially enjoy. Together they lead age-appropriate activities, movement games, musical challenges and imaginative adventures inspired by the colorful world inside Riley’s mind. Every game is adapted to your guests’ ages, making the experience just as engaging for younger children as it is for older siblings.

Every celebration includes a special moment dedicated to the birthday child — filled with warm birthday wishes, unforgettable photos and plenty of laughter shared with their favorite emotions. It’s a joyful, memorable experience that leaves families smiling long after the party is over.

Perfect for Disney and Pixar birthdays, Inside Out themed parties, school events, family celebrations and special occasions across Chicago. Choose a single favorite emotion or invite multiple characters together for an even bigger, brighter and more interactive celebration.
