Barney & Friends made its debut in 1988 and was created by Sheryl Leech, a former teacher, who had always dreamed of creating educational and entertaining shows for pre-school children. Her dream came true with the arrival of Barney. Today Barney is truly the world's best loved dinosaur, with a fan club of more than 1 million members and shows televised in over 200 countries.
Barney and Friends shot to fame when they made their debut on the American Public Broadcasting Service in April 1992, and quickly became one of the most popular shows. With his engaging style and good looks, Barney teaches children about friendship, cooperation, and respect for others. Good manners, self-esteem and safety are also top priorities for Barney, who is well known for his unconditional love and ability to make friends no matter what nationality they are or what language they speak.
The Baby Expo, previously known as Your Baby Show™, is kicking off in Johannesburg at the Coca-Cola Dome from Thursday 15th to Sunday 18th May. Ticket prices are R40 per person and kids under the age of 10 get in free. The Baby Expo Joburg will be open from 9am to 6pm daily.
