Barney Live Show @ INEC Killarney

Friday, 18th July to Sunday, 20th July
1.30pm & 5.30pm daily

It's always nice to share your toys - but in a rush to share their favourite toys with the audience, Barney's friends BJ, Riff and Baby Bop accidentally break their toys. As always, Barney finds the bright lining behind the dark cloud - he'll take the little dinos, and the audience, to a marvellous, magical toy factory where the toys can be repaired by the Imagination Machine - a fantastic device powered by children's imagination! Join your favourite dinosaur for ninety minutes of song, dance and fun...and when it comes to fun, Barney knows that nothing beats imagination...and friends you love!
