Imagination Play has been chosen as the official playground partner for Bluey’s World - a new immersive attraction based on the popular children’s television series Bluey - opening in Brisbane in November 2024.

Bluey’s World promises to transport fans into the heart of the world of Bluey, bringing a unique blend of interactive play, life-size sets, and a rich soundscape inspired by the loved ABC series.

Imagination Play has designed and installed an engaging, creative and universal playground. It will allow families and children of all ages and abilities to explore various interactive areas, including slides, play panels, and bridges, and enjoy sections designed to mirror the episodes and unique settings from the show where Bluey, Bingo, and their friends often embark on their imaginative journeys. The playground’s design also focuses on letting kids ‘play their way’ in unstructured spaces that encourage imagination and self-directed exploration.

Imagination Play was chosen to deliver the project based on their extensive experience in creating spaces for children to explore, learn and socialise through play, and their ability to blend storytelling and play to fuel imagination, physical activity and adventure.

Bluey is such a widely loved show, it is so exciting to be part of the global sensation and play a role in bringing her world to life,”
