Barbie Truck Malibu Tour Rolls Into 12 Oaks This Weekend

Put on your pink and head to 12 Oaks Mall to check out the Barbie Truck Malibu Tour on Saturday, July 16th.
Bring your Barbie fan to Novi on Saturday from 10am to 7pm and check out the Barbie Truck Totally Throwback Malibu Tour for new limited edition 70’s inspired Barbie merch only available at the truck.
The truck will be near the Twelve Oaks Food Court entrance (27500 Novi Rd, Novi, MI 48377) from 10am to 7pm on Saturday, July 16th.
If you’re looking for more fun in Novi? Here are a few of our favorite activities:
LAKESHORE PARK + BEACH
Lakeshore Park has everything you need for summer fun. The modern playground has space for kids of all ages and abilities (dedicated toddler play space, all accessible swings, and ninja course). There are picnic tables and public restrooms. Nature trails for walking and the best mini beach for summer.
Take a short walk or drive down the road and find another playground at Pavillion Shore Park along the lake and space to watch the boats pass by.
MSU TOLLGATE FARM + CHILDREN’S GARDEN
Pack a lunch or pick up a pizza and have a picnic at MSU Tollgate Farm. The space is free to explore and has covered picnic tables next to the Children’s Garden and animals to visit. Plan an overnight camping trip and sign up for Starry Night On The Farm on June 10th or join a Friday Night Family Hike.
ELLA MAE POWER PARK
Ella Mae Power Park is a fantastic universally accessible playground that offers exciting features for kids of all abilities. A swing for wheelchairs, a hammock swings and a few sliding options. Kids who love to climb won’t be disappointed either. Afterwards stop by the Novi Public Library for storytime (and Starbucks coffee) or ice cream at Stuart’s down the street.
PARADISE PARK + INDOOR FUN
Find a variety of outdoor fun at Paradise Park – miniature golf, outdoor trampolines, go-karts, balloon drop tower and climbing wall. On rainy days check out the laser tag and arcade. Other places for indoor fun are Launch Trampoline Park, Putting Edge or iFly Detroit.
