After two sell out years, GLOW at Sydney Zoo is back – bigger than ever before!
Prepare to be amazed by an all-new experience, featuring never-before-seen giant interactive installations and a completely reimagined Light Walk through the wild landscapes of Sydney Zoo.
This immersive journey, filled with vibrant fire and water-themed illuminations, promises to take you on a sensory adventure of art, nature, and captivating sounds.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Dive into the enchanting depths of the Aquarium After-Dark experience before venturing into the world's largest Reptile and Nocturnal House, where you'll encounter hundreds of fascinating creatures.
Afterwards, make your way to the GLOW Zone where the fun continues. Explore the Carnival Cruise Line Fun Zone for a round of Glowy Golf, dare to conquer the mind-bending Vortex Tunnel, or tackle the twists and turns of the Mega Maze.
Next, swing higher and shine brighter in the Neon Playground. For thrill-seekers, venture to the KIIS Ride Zone for exhilarating rides like the Cliffhanger, Super Slide, Dodgem Cars, and more.
