Tips for buying showbags
Plan before you arrive
You can browse the official showbag list online before visiting. This helps kids decide what they want ahead of time.
Set a budget
Showbags can add up quickly. Many parents give children a set showbag budget before entering the show. It helps avoid impulse purchases and keeps your showbag spending under control.
Buy showbags at the end of the day
Many families purchase showbags before leaving so kids do not have to carry them around all day. It’s a good way to get the kids to leave without a tantrum. The Showbag Pavillion is located on Riverine Avenue close to the Olympic Park Railway Station.
Use lockers if needed
Lockers are available to hire at the Easter Show if you buy showbags earlier in the day.
