The 2017 Bendigo Bank Kids Carnival for Telethon is an entertaining and interactive carnival raising money for Telethon, giving families an affordable option for a fun weekend! The money raised enables over 40 children’s organisations the chance to improve their medical equipment and services making life better for our children throughout the community.
The event is packed with children’s rides, face painting and live stage shows as well as sessions with WA’s favourite sporting teams. West Coast Eagles will be showing the kids how to handball with ease like Shuey and hop, step and jump for goal like JK Sunday from 10 til 5 and Perth Wildcats will slam dunk on the basketball court.
Fat Cat and Friends will pop by to say hello and take you on an adventure and The Kids Coach will get the kids exercising. You’ll also get the chance to see Captain Starlight, Dinosaur Box as well as a special appearance from The Sisters from Arendelle
For the animal lovers get ‘up close and personal’ with lots of friendly farmyard animals in the Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm or have a totally wild encounter with koalas and pythons and more with West Oz Wildlife.
Join the ‘technology extravaganza’ with ScopeIT Education in the Tech Tent who will be showcasing their technology and having hands-on demonstrations of Coding, 3D Printing and electronics. You might win a prize too!

The Freedom Fairies will be there to paint your face and why walk when you can join in on some Pony Fun and hop on a ride-around toy pony.
