Teddy Bear Hospital at Kids Day Out 2026

The annual Teddy Bear Hospital as part of Kids Day Out is back this year! Bring your kids and teddies along for interactive fun!

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:
