Key Takeaways

This summer, Mattel’s Polly Pocket^TM is inviting fans everywhere into her world and listing her life-sized ‘90s Slumber Party Fun compact on Airbnb.

While Polly is away on an epic adventure celebrating her 35th birthday, guests can stay in her two-story pad and explore the toy life—where a pocket full of nostalgia awaits.

For 35 years, Polly Pocket™ 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!”
