The best things to see at Vivid Light in Sydney

The Zoo celebrates its 100th birthday with massive animal lanterns of echidnas, platypuses and elephants. It’s a brand-new location for Vivid Light, which will cost you between $12-$18 to visit, but we think the interactive works will be well worth it.

Representing the growing population, water droplet humans will spew from the fountain, fall to the ground, and walk away. Also, nearby you can stand below a rotating tower called Geometrics and see the sky dappled with patterns of light.

The X Factory’s projection on the Carlton Brewery building explores the shift from human labour to technology and robotics. Celebrate or commiserate the ‘rise of the robot’ by dancing the robot in the silent disco, available on Fridays and Saturdays.

The streets between Chatswood Interchange and the Concourse will be transformed with dinosaurs and rainforests. Technology and light will bring you on a journey to the past featuring the prehistoric creatures of the ancient supercontinent, Gondwana.

The water projections will dazzle viewers with fountains, flame jets and lasers that combine to create forms of creatures like dragons and clowns in a thrilling display. While you’re there, check out roof of the Maritime Museum where The Nautilus and the Sea projects a fantasy world inhabited by giant critters.
