Tamagotchi took the world by storm in 1996 when it released its first handheld, egg-shaped digital virtual pet game.
This year the Japanese game has launched its brand-new cyber pet, the Tamagotchi Paradise, and will be showcasing it on the company’s first ever USA Road trip. Good news: it will makes a stop at Galleria Dallas on Sept. 20 and 21, 2025.

The Tamagotchi USA Road trip will be continuing through Oct. 5. Other stops include Minneapolis, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix and Irvine, Calif.
News Roundups
Fans of the game will get to enjoy this interactive experience featuring activities and photo ops. Visitors to the Tamagotchi Shop can see the brand new Tamagotchi Paradise, the all-new cyber pet, and the special road trip exclusive: Tamagotchi Destinations, a series of shells themed on food and culture.
Other activities vary by location, but expect the Lab Tama Station where attendees be the first to play with the latest Tamagotchi device. There is also the History Station, which charts the journey of the Tamagotchi from the 90s to today.
And what would a Tamagotchi event be without a Poop Clean-Up Sweep Game? Players will slide Tamagotchi “poop” into the toilet for points and prizes.
Spiff up your Tama case at the customization station and decorate your Tama cases with rhinestones, stickers and designs, or chill out while watching animated shorts at the Tama TV and Animation Zone.
Details: Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sept. 21 from noon to 6 p.m. at Galleria Dallas, 13350 Dallas Pkwy, Dallas. Free.
