Barbie Pop-Up
Malibu Barbie arrives in Austin with the Malibu Barbie Cafe. The interactive pop-up roller rink and restaurant will be open on Friday, April 4th, at 610 N Interstate Hwy 35 in Austin. There will be plenty to eat in the "fast-casual" menu, including desserts and drinks. The roller rink will be decked out in a throwback to the '70s with plenty of Malibu pink on hand.
