It’s showtime for families this Easter at Moore Park.
The Family Show returns to the Entertainment Quarter from April 9-25, for two weeks of carnival rides and attractions.
Whether it’s cuddling a piglet, checking out the stage show acts, indulging in a showbag, or trying your luck at the games, there is something for everyone.
Entry to the show for a family of four includes access to plenty of attractions and activities including the daily animal nursery, the bunny hopping competition on Easter Sunday, daily stage show performances and two hours of free parking.
Rides galore
Puppy paradise will take over the show on April 24 as the Dogs in the Park event headlines festivities. Discover the fun with doggie boot camps and trainer talks, an agility arena with jumps, tunnels and hoops, and a doggie market with a variety of stalls with the latest and greatest to pamper a pooch.
From a competition standpoint, the best four-legged dogs from a wide range of breeds will unite to decide various titles including the smallest dog, fancy dress, cutest puppy and the ever-popular dog owner lookalike contest, among other categories.
Dogs in the Park will also feature greyhounds for National Adoption Day. There will be 45 retired racing greyhounds available for public viewing and adoption, and team members will be available to help match the dog’s needs, personality and lifestyle to its future family.
There is an action-packed motorcycle and bike show, including spectacular moves and gravity defying action, all with a comical twist. New this year and included in the entry fee, shows will run daily at 11:30am, 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
