Calling all Bluey Fans! Take a step inside Bluey’s house on a magical adventure to Australia. Now in Chicago, Bluey x CAMP Chicago is located in Lincoln Park and has transformed their storefront into a magical immersive Bluey experience.
Your family will travel to Bluey’s house and explore each room searching for Bluey and Bingo. As you explore each room, the staff at CAMP plays interactive games with your family throughout the experience. You will play all your favorite Bluey games, such as keep-uppy, magic asparagus, dance mode, uni-course, and grannies.
My family loves Bluey and it was instantly an unforgettable experience for all Bluey fans! “When your embrace your inner goofball, life is more exciting.”

Check-In Area at CAMP
When you enter CAMP, you are immersed in a toy store with open play! This area kept my kids playing and busy the whole time we waited for the experience to start.
Bluey’s House
Entering Bluey’s house was magic of it’s own! The wall magically turns, and you are in Australia! As you wind through the experience you play jump and dance to the magical theme song to get the doors of the house to open. Then, BAM!, you are in Bluey’s house!
In Bluey’s kitchen, you can open the oven and cabinets, play with the present food, and search for Bluey and Bingo. You might even find a magic asparagus that turns the staff into animals! Dad’s office has play spaces with play horses to ride and stuffed animals to snuggle with. There is a fun slide and a telescope.
In Bluey and Bingo’s bedroom kids can lay on the beds, climb the ladder, and relax for a story time under the stars with the CAMP staff. While you hear a bedtime story, you might get interrupted by the famous unicourse! The playroom offers a play picnic area, another slide with stairs too climb, and a TV with Bingo and Bluey. The family room has a couch and a working TV for watching cricket, Bluey and Bingo’s favorite sport.
The activity area is where most of the games are played. This area has a tent for pretend tea parties and also play foam blocks. In the activity area, my kids enjoyed playing dance mode, keepy-uppy, and grannies. There are many staff present to run the games, but make sure to keep watch of your children.
The foam blocks were not open for climbing when we arrived, but they were available earlier in the day and a child fell when climbing, so please be careful. The experience is geared for ages 3-8, so be sure to watch the little ones on the climbing activities.
Bingo and Bluey
After searching the house for Bingo and Bluey with interactive games along the way, you finally get to learn the secret passage to find Bluey and Bingo! They are available to take photos with each child. While you wait for photos, Bluey and Bingos’ backyard has games to play like ring toss, pretend salon, and a fairy garden.
My family are huge Bluey fans! We loved the experience! We knew all the references to the Bluey phrases and games the staff used the entire day. The experience lasts about 50 minutes and my kids were having so much fun, they could have stayed longer. The groups of 25 are spaced out accordingly, so we had to keep moving through the house. I would highly recommend the Bluey X CAMP immersive experience to all Bluey fans out there. Bluey teaches us that every day is a new adventure!
CAMP Store Extras
The CAMP store has many add-on features you have the option to add to your visit. There is a pottery painting studio with ceramic and wood toy painting. Prices range from $15-$45 for the painting kits. They also offer beaded jewelry making for between $15-$25. My daughter picked to add-on the slime lab. You select your color, texture, scent, and gadgets to put inside your slime. The slime studio cost $25.
