Tumbalong Lights – where Vivid Sydney is not so crowded

Not sure about the crowds at Vivid Sydney? Tumbalong Lights Inclusive playSPACE has plenty of SPACE. It is set in the quieter part of Darling Harbour.

Come out at the Southern end of Town Hall station and walk down the hill. Look out for the Tumbalong Light arch and walk through the sparkling “Under the Milky Way” installation. The installations are spaced wide apart and setting is not too bright.

Down near the water in the Darling Harbour precinct there are fireworks twice on Friday & Saturday (7:40pm and 9:00pm). It is noisier and busier as it has a “light and sound spectacle Robot SPACELand is built around a central 16 m high unit, the Ecobot.” During Vivid, firework shows are incorporated into Robot SPACELand at Darling Harbour.

If you want extra quiet the “quiet sessions” start at 5.00 pm just before dark.
