As if a visit to the Blue Mountains isn’t magical enough, next month the World Heritage listed site is welcoming a new immersive light experience – bringing otherworldly visuals to life under the star-studded mountain skies.
Titled Nocturnal, the luminous interactive experience is popping up from Friday, April 5 until Saturday, May 4 – taking over Scenic World with light displays and holograms.
On select dates throughout April and early May, visitors will have access to this surreal luminous universe – with Scenic World’s Scenic Railway, Cableway and the Skyway allowing varied vantage points of the sparkling setting. Expect fields of luminous flowers, light-laden trees and a specially curated Luna Light Journey – a projection-style light display taking viewers on a quest through fantastical rainforests. Younger guests will receive a discovery pack including a spy pen, quest sheet and nocturnal bandana – everything necessary to find clues that will uncover the story of the Gundungurra story of creation.
Through consultation with lighting specialists and ecologists, the exhibition has been designed in line with the Environmental Protection Act 1998 to ensure minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Tickets to Nocturnal will score you access to all Scenic World rides after dark – including the world’s steepest railway – and hours of immersion in the magical luminous setting. The experience is free for children under three, and general admission for kids start at $40.60, with adult tickets starting from $55. You can plan your visit and grab tickets over here.
