DreamBIG review: Oddysea

Children joyfully playing with colorful lights in a dimly lit room, creating a magical atmosphere.
KIDDO reviewer, Daniella, took her sweet kiddo Sophie to explore the enchanting inclusive show Oddysea at DreamBIG Children's Festival.

I took my daughter to see Oddysea over the weekend and had such a lovely experience.

We were greeted with warm smiles and friendly interactions with the performers.

Upon entering the hall there were sensory play shells with both water and sand to get the children warmed up and ready for the beach theme adventure ahead.

Performers were friendly, energetic and had good awareness of engaging children with disabilities and understanding their needs during the performance.

We all wore name tags which made it very personalised and inclusive-it made your child feel very connected to what was happening.

It is a multi-sensory and engaging session yet still calming with beautiful fabrics, water, sand, toys, lights, bubbles, dance and music. My daughter was engaged the entire time!

A perfect show for the whole family, especially those of us who have a child with that little extra something!


DreamBIG Children’s Festival’s 2025 season has ended.
