Plan Your Trip
Here are some tips to help further plan your trip and make your Animania Festival experience an awesome one:
- Pack your bag the night before with essentials such as your wallet, mobile phone and some cash.
- The Festival Program will be made available on the website closer to the date. Check this out before heading to the Festival and plan out your day so that you don't miss any of the events you want to see.
- There will be water stations at the venue to keep you hydrated but bringing your own bottle of water may also be a good idea. Note: You will not be allowed to bring any open drinks into the venue, this includes drink cups and bottles (eg. from KFC or Easy Way).
Some other key questions to ask when planning your trip might be:
- If coming from interstate, how am I getting to Brisbane? Will I need to book travel?
- If going to the Festival with friends, where/when/how will I be meeting up with them?
- If going by public transport, will there be any disruptions to the service? (e.g. trackwork)
- If driving, where is the best place to park my car? (check the map above)
- What will I need to bring on the day?
- What will the weather be like on the day?
