A chance for the inner child to run amok as the ‘Big Boys Toys Expo’ comes to Canberra

CANBERRA is set to host the first ever Big Boys Toys Expo on August 22-23.

“Big Boys Toys Expo is a two day highly interactive event which will be the ultimate playground for big boys (and girls of course) to see, touch, experience and buy all the toys, tools, gizmos, gadgets, sports and hobbies they’ve always dreamed of,” said Expo Director Steve Rohan-Jones.

“We currently have over 50 amazing exhibitors locked in with more coming on board almost daily. It will be a huge event onsite at Canberra’s Exhibition Park, and we’ve got some awesome names locked in to exhibit including Defence Force Recruiting, Recreational Aviation Australia, Pure Scuba, Aussie Boats Sales, Icon Water and Shannons Insurance.

“We’re filling over 10,000 square metres at EPIC and will have a great sports lounge and bar for visitors to take a break in from checking out all the gear on offer.”

The expo will feature product demonstrations and sales, and the crowds can get involved with activities including:

  • A ride in a flight simulator,
  • A hop in the dive tank,
  • fly fishing demos,
  • an American cars display,
  • vintage cars,
  • off-road vehicles,
  • electric skateboards,
  • gym equipment,
  • golf displays,
  • trailers
  • a huge remote control presence with cars, helicopters, semi-trailers, trucks, drones and planes.

“The expo has been confirmed to run in Canberra for the next three years and there is way more to come. So stay tuned for more detail on the Big Boys Toys Expo,” Steve concluded.

Big Boys Toys Expo is on 22-23 August 2015 at Exhibition Park in Canberra. For more information visit bigboystoyscanberra.com.au Find Big Boys Toys Expo on Facebook.
