- The only season where all of the episodes were directed by the same director (Bruce Deck).
- The first fifteen episodes were originally broadcasted with longer credits, similar to the first two seasons. Starting in September 1995, all episodes were re-edited to contain shorter credits. However, the UK airings of the last five episodes of this season as well as the US and Spanish releases of Riding In Barney's Car and the Spanish version of Barney's All Aboard For Sharing used the longer credits.
- In a rare move, This is the first season to have an episode release on video before it's TV premiere which was Are We There Yet? in which would be named Riding In Barney's Car.
- The last five episodes of the season were broadcasted under the "Back to School with Barney" programming block.
- The Baby Bop and BJ costumes become shorter to represent their respective ages.
- For this season, with the exception of Ship, Ahoy!, Stella the Storyteller uses props to act out the stories.
- Kathy is no longer seen with her teddy bear.
- Every episode of this season is directed by Bruce Deck.
- Due to moving to a new studio, the entire set was reconstructed:
- The playground is larger with a reconstructed playset. Instead of a bridge, the playset has a lookout tower.
- A treehouse with a porch was added.
- A new walking animation is used for the Barney & Friends logo.
- Filming for this season was originally scheduled for May 1994. But due to the lawsuit over the "I Love You" song, the production was pushed back to November 1994.
- This season was filmed at The Studios at Las Colinas and would continue to be produced there through Season 6.
- The production for this season begin on November 1, 1994 and ended in early 1995.
- Originally, in the first script for Barney's Great Adventure, the whole kids cast for this season, including Derek, appeared in the opening scene as cameos. Also, according to the original script, Marcella is Tosha's cousin. This scene probably got cut because, by the time they started filming, the cast was too old.
