Bluey’s World Review: Is It Worth It?

When we were in Australia earlier this year, we had two major goals:

  1. Visit the Great Barrier Reef
  2. See Bluey’s house for real life

If you didn’t know, Bluey (of kid’s TV show fame) and her family live in Brisbane, Australia. Since we just so happened to be in the city already, we knew from the get-go that we’d find a way to visit. Fortunately, Bluey’s World Brisbane opened at the end of last year, and we planned to spend our final day of the trip around it.

At $50 AUD (~$30 USD) for each of us – except for the baby, who was free – it wasn’t cheap, and we didn’t really know what to expect since the attraction was so new. So was it worth it? Here’s what we found:

  • You get a pair of ears! When you arrive, each person gets to pick a pair of Heeler family ears, and you get to keep them! It was such a fun surprise, and months later, our kids are still wearing them around the house. These were a big hit.
  • The experience is guided. Groups are let in one at a time, and while you’ll see other groups here and there, the experience is led by cast members who guide you through a storyline. We really enjoyed this, and it kept our guy engaged throughout.
  • No photos are allowed (mostly). Once you’re inside the experience, photos are off-limits until the very end. It caught us off guard, but honestly? It helped us all stay in the moment. If you’re big on taking pictures, just know you’ll have to wait.
  • Prepared for the gift shop. It’s elaborate and definitely very tempting. My mom found herself with several pieces of merch. There’s also food and a playground at the end of the experience. We opted to walk to a nearby restaurant, but our kids burned off energy at the playground first.

So… was it worth it?

For our family, absolutely. It was well-designed, thoughtfully executed, and our four-year-old was the perfect age for it. If your kid(s) are Bluey fans, it’s a must-do while in Brisbane. That said, if your little ones aren’t into Bluey – or you’ve got older kids – you might want to look into other attractions like Movie World or Dreamworld, which might be a better fit.
