The Toys are back in town! The hit movie is hitting the ice when Disney on Ice presents Toy Story 3 at the Chaifetz Arena Sept. 22 - 25. Catch all the heroic action when Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and the Toy Story gang escape from the rambunctious tots of Sunnyside Daycare and race for home in their most daring adventure ever.
A few new faces join the fun, including Barbie's groovy bachelor Ken and Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear. The fast-paced adventure also includes Buzz's galactic battle with Emperor Zurg and a hoe down at Woody's Roundup.
At the Chaifetz Arena on the campus of St. Louis University (map and directions).
