Can’t wait until Vivid to get your fix of luminous fun? We’ve got you. From May 8 to June 14, the outdoor light show known as Glow is coming back to Western Sydney’s Sydney Zoo – and for its fifth year, it’s going bigger, brighter and a whole lot more immersive.
The reimagined night trail transforms familiar enclosures at the zoo into glowing, atmospheric scenes – with large-scale light installations and layered soundscapes guiding you through a completely different world after dark. The headline act this year is the Luna Light Journey – an all-sensory experience curated by Laservision (the team behind some of the country’s most impressive light-based artworks, including Echoes and Scenic World’s Nocturnal).
Expect an extended illuminated trail along the boardwalk and plenty of interactive moments as you wander through the forest of colour and sound. It’s part art installation, part night safari – designed to keep all ages entertained.
Beyond the light trail, there’s a carnival-style precinct at the entrance of the zoo (open even if you’re not heading into Glow), plus food and drink options to keep things cosy as the temperature drops.
With more than 100,000 visitors heading to Glow last year, this one tends to sell fast – so you’ll want to book tickets ($35 for adults, $19.99 for kids) ahead of time.
