Our Towns
We have a passion for our community as well as pets! The Pet Show is a celebration of both.
To easily navigate around The Pet Show, we have dedicated towns. Choose to follow the roads & wander the entire event, participate in the Pet Pack Treasure Hunt, or utilise the directional signage to head directly to the pet type or attraction that you love the most, discovering the rest of the show later & making it a great day out for everyone.
