Brisbane’s biggest family attraction is staying put for another two years, with Bluey’s World confirming it will remain exclusively in the Queensland capital until 3 February 2028.



The extension follows strong demand since the immersive experience opened at Northshore Hamilton in November 2024, attracting more than half a million visitors from across Australia and overseas.



   


 

Operators say the attraction has also become a major contributor to Queensland’s visitor economy, generating more than 501,000 direct visitor nights and an estimated $156.9 million in direct and incremental spending across the state.

The announcement ensures Brisbane will continue to be the only place in the world where fans can step inside Bluey’s universe through the permanent attraction.
