A DAY ADVENTURE

I know what you are thinking, without the night will there be anything to see during the day? Well, at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo check out their “Life In Another Light”. With interactive and immersive light displays, a bioluminescence beach and of course the creatures that usually only come out after dark. This is one adventure you don’t want to miss out on.

Don't Miss Out!

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

As the sun sets and the stars come out make your way to the highest point in Sydney. Want to touch the stars while becoming a part of the light show? Join in on a VIVID Sydney SKYWALK, this limited time only event will have you 268m above the city. With special light up accessories, you will become a kaleidoscope of colour, a star looking out on the spectacular views of the sparkling city.

FOR THE FOODIES

All this exploring is probably making you hungry, right? For all the foodies out there, our top pick for your weekend is the VIVID Fire Kitchen. Your taste buds will be bursting with the flavours presented to you. Inspired by only the hottest restaurants, try a fire-inspired cocktail or flame-fuelled meals. You will not be disappointed by these mouth-watering options.

ESCAPE THE CITY

Crowds not really your thing? Escape the city and immerse yourself in a nature inspired adventure while still bringing the VIVID lights with you. Try an After Dark Zipline tour at Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventure. Strap on those bat wings and fly through the night 30m above the forest floor, this unique adventure is only 90 minutes from Sydney and has limited availability
