Blow Bubbles, Not Balloons: Extra Bluey Fun Around the Zoo
This year’s Bluey experience comes with a playful and planet-friendly message: Blow Bubbles, Not Balloons. Bubble machines will pop up near animal habitats, encouraging kids to play Keepy Uppy while spotting some of the zoo’s newest residents.
Keep an eye out for gorillas Frala, Mbeli and Johari, plus Lupo the tapir, Khan the Komodo Dragon, Tambi the giraffe and Pangi the Philippine Crocodile.
Bluey Food and Drink
Families can also refuel with Bluey-themed food, drinks and souvenirs across the zoo. A pop-up catering stall near Dragon Disco will serve easy family favourites, including juice boxes, Ben & Jerry’s Wackadoo Sundae and blue and orange glazed donuts at Giraffe Café.
There’ll also be a Bluey retail cart on the lawn, stocked with themed merchandise throughout the event.
Platinum Ticket? Oh Biscuits!
Premium Tickets are not available for the Bluey Experience in 2026. Last year visitors could book Platinum Tickets to enjoy a VIP front section plus some other perks. This year everyone has the same access to the lawns, so you’ll have to park your stuff early for the best viewing point.
Our Experience
The show is very interactive. We have fun playing Copycat, Keepy Uppy and Musical Statues. I highly recommend you plan lots of sun protection as there is no shade on the lawn. Also pack a picnic blanket or rug for the grass.
Don’t forget to practise your please face for the magic asparagus!
