Bluey and Bingo are coming to Whipsnade Zoo!
This May half term, come and see Bluey and Bingo at the UK’s largest Zoo!
From Wednesday 29 May to Sunday 2 June, Bluey and Bingo will be here playing interactive games with visitors at 11am*, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. Plus, don’t forget to bring your camera, as there will be opportunities to take photos of the characters, too!
This is a must-see event for any Bluey fans, both kids and parents alike. During each session, Bluey and Bingo will lead visitors through their toybox activity including games like musical statues. Afterwards, there’s an opportunity to get photos and the chance for kids to get a high five or a wave from their favourite characters.
Sessions are free with Zoo entry and will run at intervals throughout the day. All sessions are first come, first served; there is no pre-booking available for this event. Simply follow signs to the elephant arena to join a session and see everyone’s favourite blue heeler sisters!
Please note that the event will take place outdoors and visitors may need to queue for sessions, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
A visual story is available for this event.
*Gold members, Fellows, and Patrons will have priority access to the first Bluey and Bingo session each day, starting from 11am. Please remember to bring your membership card along with you in order to take part in these sessions.
This spring we’re taking part in national ‘Love Your Zoo Week’. Join us this half term to celebrate what makes our Zoos special, from extinct-in-the-wild species and their recovery programmes to a native species habitat. Plus, enjoy themed talks, craft-making, animal bingo and competitions throughout the week.

We encourage you to bring your cameras and to take photos and video throughout the session. Following Bluey and Bingo’s toybox activity, if time permits, visitors will be led out of the arena past the characters. Kids and visitors may be able to get a high five or wave from the characters on their way out, however photos with the characters will not be permitted at this point in order to allow the queue to keep moving.
Unlike our previous Bluey and Bingo event, this May half term event is not a meet and greet event and there is no guarantee visitors will get to meet the characters.
The front row of the elephant arena (step-free) will be reserved for those with mobility issues or who may otherwise need step-free access. Please let a member of staff know on the day if you require this. Please note, the ground may be slightly uneven.
Although there won’t be specific accessible or relaxed sessions for this event, during every session on all days there will be a breakaway space at the top of the arena for those who may require a sensory break or to step away from the performance. Ear defenders are also available – please ask a member of staff on the day if you require these.
A visual story for this event is available here which will give you an idea of what to expect on the day.
Bluey and Bingo sessions will take place at the elephant arena near our elephant exhibit. Follow signage onsite or head to the elephant car park to join a session.
