Bluey’s World coming to Brisbane this November
By Kristen Camp
Fans of the world’s most popular canine cartoon series are invited to immerse themselves in Bluey’s World from November.
The 70-minute interactive and immersive experience is coming to Brisbane’s Northshore Pavilion from November 7, it has been confirmed.
Parents of the show’s most ardent young fans spent the weekend securing pre-sale tickets for the attraction, with the general sale starting on Tuesday, May 21, at 2pm via the Bluey’s World website. Prices start from $49.90.
Bluey has put the spotlight on Brisbane, and now Bluey’s World will open in the city.
Ticket holders can explore the rooms of the Heeler family’s Queenslander featured in the show, play games and meet the characters.
After the guided experience, guests can enjoy the neighbourhood playground, shop and cafe for up to an hour.
Birthday parties at Bluey’s World are also available for 12 or more children.
“The magic of Bluey isn’t only in the universally relatable characters and storytelling,” said Kate O’Connor from BBC Studios ANZ, which is producing Bluey’s World with HVK World.
“It is also in the setting – the beloved Heeler house in beautiful Brisbane is so well known to fans that its [near] recent sale made the prime-time news. We are so excited that fans will finally get the opportunity to step inside and play in the Heelers’ iconic family home for real life.”
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said Bluey’s World would attract an influx of fans who would “deliver a powerful boost to local business, filling our hotels, restaurants and lifestyle precincts, as they explore our unique tourism attractions”.
“From this November, excited Bluey fans from around Australia and the globe will travel to our city, eager to experience the immersive Bluey spectacle,” Schrinner said.
“Bluey’s World places a global spotlight on Brisbane as an ever-evolving major events city.”
Queensland Tourism Minister Michael Healy said Bluey’s World was expected to draw more than 20,000 visitors in its inaugural year and inject more than $18 million into the local economy.
“Bluey is globally adored and arguably our most famous Queenslander ... it’s such a treat seeing our state’s landscape immortalised in Bluey’s adventures, episode after episode,” Healy said.
