The Purple Dinosaur has gone extinct as Universal Orlando has officially closed A Day in the Park with Barney. The show originally closed “temporarily” last August as Universal made operational adjustments during the pandemic – but that has now changed to a permanent closure.
Despite the show’s temporary closure last year, the characters from the show would still meet guests out in KidZone – but they haven’t been since the new year began, leading to speculation of the show’s permanent closure.
Yes, A Day in the Park with Barney has permanently closed at Universal Studios Florida.

A Day in the Park with Barney originally opened in KidZone back in 1995 and was one of the longest-running shows in the park before its closure.
