Exclusive Hotel Package
Lightscape, Melbourne’s popular winter event, returns to the city’s Royal Botanic Gardens for 2024. Be mesmerised by thousands of lights, singing trees and a flickering fire garden amongst colour-changing installations, soundscapes and large-scale illuminated sculptures. Experience the two-kilometre trail around the lake and celebrate the beauty of nature after dark. Surround yourself with the interactive Submergence as well as the beloved Winter Cathedral and Laser Garden at Fern Gully. Rug up and grab a bite to eat from the food trucks and bars at The Terrace Food Hall.
Melbourne is a city to discover: its heart is the modern Federation Square development, with plazas, bars and restaurants by the Yarra River. In the Southbank area, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is the site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a performing arts complex – and the National Gallery of Victoria, with Australian and indigenous art. Explore historic arcades and laneways lined with fine dining restaurants, chic cafes, hidden bars and fashion boutiques or head to one of the many lush gardens throughout the area. There is always something incredibly interesting to do in this fantastic city. Check what else is on in Melbourne here.
At the event
Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens is located approximately 2 kilometres from Melbourne’s city centre. Car parking is limited, so organisers recommend travelling to Lightscape on public transport. As a general rule, you should allow about 90 minutes to ensure you have enough time to enjoy the full experience. This is an outdoor event, so come prepared by wearing appropriate footwear and dressing warmly. Umbrellas are allowed on the trail, but chairs, picnic rugs, bicycles or any other small vehicles are not allowed.
The box office and welcome hub is located at the Observatory Gate entrance only, on Birdwood Avenue, opposite the Shrine of Remembrance. If you have special access needs, please enter using this gate. The Bridge Gate is located on the corner of Alexandra Avenue and Anderson Street. The Terrace Food Hall is the main food and beverage hub for audiences entering via Bridge Gate. See details here.
