EPIC Budawang (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is EPIC Budawang?
What makes it 71% Baby-Friendly: Budawang offers permanent baby-change rooms and pram-wide aisles, but no stroller hire or quiet nursing lounge unless a baby expo is on, and weekend crowds and noise may unsettle very young infants.
Positives:
- Pram-friendly layout: Wide aisles in Budawang Pavilion allow easy stroller movement.
- On-site parking: Free parking close to pavilion entrances reduces walking with baby gear.
- Baby-change & feeding rooms: Permanent facilities provide sinks, benches, and private feeding spaces.
Challenges:
- Event timing: Some expos run only on specific dates; check the EPIC calendar before planning.
- Crowd peaks: Midday weekends can get busy; consider early or late visits to avoid crowds.
- No stroller hire: EPIC does not rent prams; bring your own or arrange rental offsite.

Briz Winston
Was attending the site for summernats for 2nd year in a row and found that more seating and grand stands are required around the burn out pad and skid row area. Otherwise great venue....entry and exit to the parking Ares was painful if you didn't get there early
Minh Tong
The best place for festivals in Canberra would be a great option, despite the minor inconvenience of public transport for the journey back home. Such transportation challenges are quite common at venues with thousands of attendees.
Christopher Pearson
Only used one function room. It was adequately set up clean toilets. Sub contracted food was shocking cold, prepared over priced
