The costume is designed to photograph beautifully—perfect for capturing memories at Raleigh celebrations.

Yes! Dorothy always arrives with her beloved Toto companion. Toto is a realistic plush dog in a basket that children absolutely love. He's included in photos, activities, and becomes part of the whole Oz experience. Children often ask to hold Toto and give him pets—it's one of the sweetest parts of the party!
Our Dorothy character is perfect for children ages 3-10, with the sweet spot being 4-8 year olds who love classic stories and adventure. That said, Wizard of Oz has multigenerational appeal—grandparents often love seeing Dorothy as much as the kids! Our performers are skilled at engaging all ages with warmth and kindness.

For 2-hour packages, we add more games, friendship activities, and additional sing-alongs.
Dorothy is absolutely perfect for rainbow-themed parties! "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the heart of her story, and she leads rainbow games, colorful activities, and helps children dream about what's waiting over their own rainbows.
