Get Ready For A Dino-Mite Celebration as Big as Your Imagination When TV Icon Barney™ Comes to San Francisco on April 4th to Celebrate His Birthday!!!

It's time for a stu-u-pendous celebration, as everyone's favorite purple dinosaur arrives in San Francisco as part of his 20-city BIG PURPLE BUS TOUR. Barney is hitting the road, spending time with friends across the country as he commemorates 20 years of imagining, dancing and learning.
During his stay in San Francisco from April 4th - 6th, Barney will be stopping by a local children's hospital to pay a visit to some special friends, and will also drop by two local Toys"R"Us stores.
On Friday, April 4th, Barney will visit children at the Children's Hospital & Research Center of Oakland, part of the Children's Miracle Network. During this private visit Barney will take pictures with kids during some bedside meet and greets. He will also leave behind a collection of toys from his brand new toy line from Jakks Pacific, and donate a DVD library of favorite Barney titles to the hospital.
On Saturday and Sunday, April 5th & 6h, the tireless T-Rex will host a meet-and-greet birthday party at two Toys"R"Us stores. Children will have the opportunity to present Barney with a super-dee-duper birthday card that they design and create right at the Toys"R"Us store!
