Out of the Box Festival


My toddler and I headed to the Out of the Box festival that was being held in the Performing Arts/State Library/Art Gallery precinct in Brisbane. There were a lot of ticketed events...we attended the Grug show aimed at the under 4 audience. The set was excellent, the show entertaining and a good sized audience that allowed parents to sit with their children without hindering the view of others.

There were also a number of free events, including story telling, music stages and crafty activities. These were excellent and high quality, all with an educational theme.

There was also a lit maze that allowed exploration for the children. We didn't however venture into this due to queue and the expected wait time, but the photos I have seen of it, made it look like a great experience for parents and children alike.

Overall, what a brilliant idea for the education and entertainment of young people in Brisbane. Certainly looked like it was a hit with the school children and their teachers.
