BRISBANE OPEN HOUSE (BOH)
BACK IN 2018 FOR TWO DAYS: WEEKEND 13-14 OCTOBER
In 2018 the BOH team has managed to unlock 100+ buildings for your visiting pleasure, so if you think you have seen it all, look again. There are sure to be a couple of new favourites to experience.
Below is a list of my recommendations for the weekend. As there are quite a few new buildings this year, I have focused on these and other new ones on my ‘to-do’ list. Some buildings require tickets that are pre-booked and bookings are taken on a first come-first served basis.
Tickets will be released this coming Friday 28 September at 9am… refresh, refresh, refresh!
