Guide Dogs Queensland Open Day 2022

Overview

Ever wondered exactly what goes into training a guide dog? Love the idea of cute pooches helping people? Eager to spend as much time surrounded by four-legged cuties as possible? You can tick all of the above boxes at the Guide Dogs Queensland Open Day — and, given that the organisation doesn't let people peek behind the scenes often, you'll be getting a glimpse at something extra special.

From 10am on Saturday, September 10 at Bald Hills, Brisbanites can see where the magic happens — where adorable pups grow into life-changing companions for people who are blind or have low vision, that is. You'll meet dogs of all ages and watch training demonstrations, and also get guided through sensory experiences with the vision team.

Winning prizes is up for grabs as well, and so is nabbing a bite. For kids, there'll also be a play zone.

Tickets cost $10 for adults. The joy of being swarmed by so many puppers who'll go on to do so much good — well, you can't put a price on that.
