What began as a children’s show from Australia has grown into a global phenomenon, capturing the hearts of families and even furbabies, everywhere.
If you’re a parent or guardian, chances are you’ve come across children watching, "Bluey," an animated series about two adorable dogs. Each episode follows the everyday family life of two playful sisters, Bluey and Bingo, from a dog family.

What has captured the hearts of many viewers, both kids and adults alike, is how this Emmy-award winning show highlights relatable scenarios and delivers meaningful life lessons in a way that’s both entertaining and easy to understand.
Kids can now step into the world of this well-loved animated series through the “Bluey Mega Playdate.” Featuring life-size play space that’s similar to the Heeler home, visitors can explore the different activity zones that are inspired from Bluey and Bingo’s house.
This was officially launched on Aug. 5 with the presence of Acting Ambassador of Australia to the Philippines Dr. Moya Colett and her family, SM Supermalls assistant vice president for Marketing Hanna Carinna Sy, and SM Supermalls regional operations head —senior assistant vice president Christian Mathay with the Heeler family—Chilli, Bluey, Bingo, and Bandit.
“It’s a great joy to be here to launch Bluey Mega Playtime here at SM Megamall, because Bluey has become a huge cultural icon for Australia,” shares Dr. Moya in her speech.
Interactive areas such as the kitchen, living room, play room, and backyard let the kids play to their heart’s delight. If you want your children to join specific activities, take down these dates.
