If you feel like "[Bluey]"(https://mom.com/kids/my-kid-talks-like-bluey-and-im-fine-with-it) has taken over your household, this is your chance to bring your household inside "Bluey." Beginning November 6, the Camp store at Westfield Century City will host "Bluey x Camp," a ticketed event that invites guests to venture inside the Heeler house for what's basically a live interactive episode of the show.
The adventure takes place inside a 5,000-square-foot re-creation of the "Bluey" house. There will be opportunities that feel familiar to fans of the show, including a two-story pillow fort, a cardboard box castle with slides, and chances to play Magic Asparagus and Keepy Uppy. Eagle-eyed fans will spot Easter eggs all over the place: garden gnomes, tennis balls and long dogs abound. You'll have the chance to watch a brand-new "Bluey" animation created specifically for this experience, and then see Bingo and Bluey in a grand finale meet-and-greet. (And take selfies with them, of course.)

Not so with this, he says. Employees, known as "counselors," "are fully versed and ready to put on an hourlong show for anyone who comes through," Larsen said. A core component of counselor training: Watching every episode of "Bluey."
The spirit of the show is the beauty of collaborative play and improvisation between adults and kids, Larsen said, and "Bluey x Camp" aims to bring that to life for guests.
"We endeavor really to place you in these environments and make you feel like you are fully in them and living in them," he said. "We're trying to do something that's a little bit different and has a little bit more meat on its bones in terms of living up to the experience and making you feel like you're at a theatrical show" — a show where the counselors are "making sure that everybody's moving and sweating and getting silly."
The experience, like the show, is designed to be fun for everyone.
"We write to the parents and then we play to the kids," Larsen said.
Larsen says guests should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to leave extra time for parking at the mall. Plan to get physical: Every family member should be dressed as if someone is about to yell "activate dance mode" at them — nigh a certainty in this scenario. And plan (both psychically and financially) for the gift store at the end: The experience lasts one hour, but Larsen said to allot extra time for browsing the exclusive co-branded BBC Studios and "Bluey" youth and adult merchandise collection in the store.
Tickets are available at camp.com/bluey and run $36 to $42. Guests ages 2 and up must be ticketed. The experience will be available in Los Angeles from Nov. 6 to Jan. 15.
