There's a magical new immersive experience at Sydney's Luna Park
If you're a fan of immersive experiences like Van Gogh Alive and light festivals like Vivid Sydney, you'll love this new immersive experience at Luna Park Sydney, called Lite Brite: Worlds of Wonder.
After enchanting audiences in Toronto and Las Vegas (both adults and kids), it’s now on in Sydney, in Luna Park’s Big Top.
Visitors take a 40-minute journey through three light-filled worlds: dive deep into a magical ocean; wander through lush forests where dinosaurs still roam; and explore a futuristic sci-fi city.
‘Lite-Brite: Worlds of Wonder’ is inspired by the iconic Lite-Brite toy from the olden days. Every visual element of the experience is powered by the distinctive hexagonal peg pattern and vibrant colours from the six original Lite-Brite pegs: orange, pink, green, blue, yellow and clear.
“Audiences today are seeking immersive adventures that spark their imagination and offer a true escape, and ‘Lite-Brite: Worlds of Wonder’ delivers just that,” says John Hughes, CEO of Luna Park Sydney.

“It just has such a nostalgic appeal to it that I think everyone from the ’60s until now can relate to it,” said Ryan Andal, president and CEO of Classified Location, creators of the event.
Before there were laptops with games, there was Lite-Brite. The classic toy is a light box that allows users to produce illuminated pictures and words with small colored plastic pegs that fit into a black panel.
“It’s been a toy that’s been around since the ’60s and it’s had this unique place at least with me and a lot of people I grew up with. It’s the first toy I ever played with that had a innovative aspect to it,” Andal said.
While the original toy was easy, the pop-up will mix latest LED technology, original artwork and of course the toy itself in 11 interactive rooms that will span through underwater, prehistoric and o
