Dodo Sydney Family Easter Show
Celebrating the festive Easter season for the fifth year in a row, Dodo Sydney Family Show is the largest Easter Show alternative, and an event in it’s own right –– offering an affordable option for families, fittingly run by a family. An intimate, locally owned business hosts this impressive event, which has become increasingly popular due to it’s free entry, while still offering a striking array of activities, carnivals, entertainment and attractions you would expect from the long-familiar Sydney Royal Easter show. Not only is this show evidently an inexpensive substitution to enjoy these Easter holidays, but you can access many free activities and entertainment inside, without having to calculate how much of your savings you’re willing to compromise for a hopping Easter. The icing on this gratis treat is the complimentary parking at the show –– the first two hours at the Entertainment Quarter car park is free, and the show is also easily accessible by public transport.
“We have purposely built a Show that can be enjoyed by everyone, we appreciate how expensive a day out with the whole family can be, and our goal was to provide a real Show experience without the worry of breaking the bank,” Britt Osborne, Show Director said.
This year more than 300,000 eager Sydneyites are estimated to attend this festival, having also attracted the partnership with Disney this year, it’s sure to please the entire family. Some of the highlights include :
Disney Meet And Greet
Down at the Showring, Dusty from Planes Fire & Rescue, Lightning McQueen and friends will be available for a meet and greet in our hosting city.

With only 3 Lightning McQueens in the world, you can imagine the hype, especially at no cost! A Looney Tunes Stage Show will also be presented daily.
