Spectacle of Light

About Spectacle of Light

This year at Spectacle of Light, the pirates are taking over Fort Douglas! Our after-dark family experience is inspired by Treasure Island. Your little adventurers can run, climb, slide and swashbuckle through Fort Douglas as they search for treasure. The whole family can enjoy interacting with a cast of characters reminiscent of this childhood classic story.

Enjoy the night-time wonder of Fort Douglas, illuminated under the stars – where else can you play after dark? This year, our popular winter evening adventure is inspired by Treasure Island. Spectacle of Light features treasure hunts and real-life pirates! With the pirate’s map to guide you, search for gold through tunnels, down slides, along zip wires and over rope bridges! The challenges of this fabulous play area are perfect for sea-faring adventurers. Why not dress up for the occasion?

DATES AND TIMES

Our after-dark interactive adventure is running on the following dates:

2-4 December / 7 – 11 December / 14 – 23 December /| 27 – 31 December.

Spectacle of Light is a continuous experience with entry time slots every 30 minutes, from 16.30 to 19.00. Typically your stay will last approximately 75 minutes, although if you wish to stay for a longer or shorter time, it’s your choice!
