The world of “Bluey,” the beloved Australian children’s show, is about to leap off the screen and into real life with the grand opening of Bluey’s World in Brisbane this November. Fans of the hit animated series are excited as newly released images reveal their first look at this extraordinary 4000-square-meter immersive experience, which promises to delight visitors with interactive play zones, vibrant recreations of the Heeler family’s iconic home, and endless surprises. With the Bluey phenomenon continuing to captivate audiences worldwide, Bluey’s World has already extended its season until September 2025, and additional tickets will go on sale starting Monday, October 21, 2024.
A First Glimpse Into Bluey’s World
The unveiling of Bluey’s World offers fans an exhilarating first glimpse into the world of Australia’s favourite blue heeler. From the instantly recognizable front porch and living room where Bluey and Bingo’s imaginative games come to life to the lush backyard, and whimsical sets beyond, the immersive experience is a playground for young and old alike. Each meticulously designed space mirrors the vibrant, colourful charm of the TV show, down to the smallest detail—yes, even the hidden long dogs!
Upon entering Bluey’s home, visitors are immediately swept into an adventure where fun and teamwork are essential. With characters like Unicorse launching a mischievous plot to freeze Bluey and Bingo, it’s up to fans to save the day with some help from familiar faces, including the fan-favourite garden gnomes. The guided journey promises excitement around every corner, and while things may not always go as planned, the laughter and camaraderie that define Bluey will shine through.
A Labor of Love: Creators Bring Bluey’s World to Life
The creative brilliance behind Bluey’s World is none other than the show’s original masterminds, Joe Brumm and Suzy Brumm, who collaborated closely with Ludo Studio to bring this larger-than-life experience to reality. Every inch of Bluey’s World has been designed to maintain the warmth, humour, and magic that have endeared Bluey to millions of fans.
