Lightscape

For the very first time Lightscape is coming to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney over 44 nights, and as part of Vivid Sydney 2023. This internationally acclaimed multi-sensory experience of light, colour and sound is set to wow our visitors.

Begin your journey under our glowing tree canopies filled with colour, stroll beneath larger-than-life flowers and alongside neon roots bursting from the undergrowth, where shards of light fizz through trees like fireworks. Soak in the breath-taking lightworks created by the best local and international artists. Enter an after-dark oasis of botanical brilliance.

Lightscape is a timed entry event and sells out across the world – don’t miss it, book now. 
 
Enjoy Lightscape at your own pace. We recommend 1.5 – 2 hours to enjoy your experience. Lightscape will be throughout the Garden with entry from the Queen Elizabeth II Gate via Sydney Opera House Forecourt only.
