Bluey’s World (spoilers ahead)

Editors comment: Your adventure to Bluey’s World can begin with a CityDog ride via the great Brisbane River or you can make your way to Northshore Hamilton via car. You will find Bluey’s World adjacent to the Eat Street Markets. To be upfront, YES you can expect theme park pricing.. but we hope this review gives you the information you need to decide if your family are big enough Bluey fans to appreciate and value this experience like our reviewer did. In our opinion if you are a hardcore Bluey fan, this is well worth saving up for. While it is here until atleast April 2025 we have heard whispers that it could be longer, possibly permanent.

Our Visit to Blueys World

Go past the flower garden, birdbath, mailbox and wheelie bins, then up the front steps (or ramp) through the big front door and into the Heeler’s iconic Queenslander home.

Inside you will find an expansive, multi-sensory and interactive experience that features multiple real-life sets, life size characters and fun games from the show. A couple of well-known residents from the Heeler garden (Jeremy and Tony) get to have their big day and will rope you into all sorts of games and adventures as you explore the home and help them find Bluey and Bingo.

Bluey’s World reminds us that things won’t always go to plan, but with a little teamwork and a lot of games, every day is fun.

In the lounge room, relax, sit down and take a load off your feet by. But be ready – as some fairy magic might happen right before your eyes.

Venture a little further and you will find yourself in the giant cubby house where bigger kids will love the maze of rooms, disco lights and references to the Cubby episode. Stay alert! Argh, will there be a potential cubby collapse!

Then, get ready you may feel some nostalgic Chilli happy tears as the girls’ bedroom is a perfect replica with everything you would expect; the watermelon rug, ladder, lava lamp, hanging mobile and bone shaped breezeway. You may even find the magic xylophone.

We know everyone loves Chattermax so ensure you’re ready for dance mode, I will say no more!

The kitchen and playroom are a hive of activity where kids can freely play where you should all keep an eye out for the famous duck cake and perhaps decorate the pavlova with berries. The centre of the backyard is the large royal poinciana tree we know well, with a bench around the base.

Bluey’s backyard encourages kids to swing, jump and have fun!

What’s in Bandit’s shed? Beyond the backyard and under the tree canopy you will be immersed in the creek filled with fish, turtles and tadpoles. Birds, lizards and wallabies also surround you.

Uh-oh now Jeremy is feeling sad and worried he can’t find Bluey and Bingo; we hear Chilli help us run through the checklist when feeling sad before we pick ourselves up continue as the show must go on. Do we find and unfreeze Bluey and Bingo?

The neighbourhood

You will quickly recognise the Golden Crown Takeaway and Pizza Girls along with Alfie’s Gift Shop and the playground. A huge variety of food is available to buy: pizzas, sausage rolls, pies, hot chips, spring rolls, sandwiches, fruit salad (Fruit Bat Salad), salad (Bingo’s Capsicum Salad) a fabulous ice cream bar and many delicious sweet cakes and biscuits.

If trying to avoid buying a meal from the cafe perhaps pack a lunch or some snacks and buy an ice cream or sweet bakery treat as the kids are going to love the whole experience as the Bluey packaging is fun and again makes references to specific episodes. There are plenty of tables, chairs and benches to sit down.

Alfie’s Gift Shop has a lot of fabulous merchandise which might be hard to resist as it is exclusive to Bluey World. Caps, bucket hats, clothing, key-rings and lots of plush toys.

TIP: For grownups that just need twenty minutes where no one comes near them, let the kids enjoy playing in the enclosed/gated playground while you grab your favourite hot beverage from the Cafe.

Overall, Bluey’s World is hilarious, it’s playful, it’s bound to make you love Bluey more than you already do! Is that even possible?!

You will walk away feeling like the world is a magical place.

What we thought of Bluey World

Save up your dollar bucks, we think this one is worth the high price tag! If you’re anything like me (and Chilli), at times expect to get happy tears and feel very nostalgic about everything!

Through my 6-year old’s eyes: can we please go again tomorrow, Mum?! (*gosh I wish we could) I can’t believe I got to see the toilet in the cubby house, I loved the magic fairy, helping the Jeremy the gnome was the best, remember the episode when Bandit was making Bingo’s duck cake and dancing/flossing with Bluey was awesome!
