About this Event

Kid's Day Out Overview


This Easter, for one day only, bring your child and their favourite teddy for a check-up at the Teddy Bear Hospital!

Teddies will journey through our hospital and be attended to by our team of amazing teddy doctors, nurses and allied health specialists! From teddy check-ups, teddy ECGs, teddy x-rays, teddy physio sessions, teddy music therapy, teddy toothbrushing courses and much, much more, each teddy is able to have a top-to-toe check-up at the Teddy Bear Hospital!

We have a few surprises up our sleeves too! Come along and see!

A guide to the tickets:

Tickets: 30 minute arrival window but subsequently unlimited time inside the hospital to allow all teddies to have a top-to-toe check-up.

Location: Teddy Bear Hospital will be located in the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, the closest entry is via Clarendon Street. Once inside make your way to Door 3 off the main internal concourse. [Please note we are in a different area of the building to last year. There will be wayfinding signage and customer service volunteers to help guide you.]

First arrival is at 10:00am. Last entry will be at 4:30pm and the Teddy Bear Hospital will be closing at 5:00pm.

*At the Teddy Bear Hospital, we recognise the need for environments that are appropriate for children with alternative sensory-needs. Regardless of your ticket times, you will have access to our Special Sensory Room located at the front of the Hospital.

Don't have a teddy? Don't worry - bring any toy along! We will be selling teddies on the day with all proceeds going to the Good Friday Appeal. In addition, this year, Build-a-Bear will be selling special BAB bears on the day!

Please note: Tickets to the Build-a-Bear experience are sold separately and do not grant entry to the Teddy Bear Hospital.



All proceeds from ticket sales, donations and bear sales will be donated to the Good Friday Appeal for The Royal Children's Hospital!

Teddy Bear Hospital is brought to you by The University of Melbourne, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Health Sciences students.

Proudly supported by: VISY, Build-a-Bear Workshop and Emergency Service.
