An immersive exhibition set in the heart of Auckland City.

Following two sold-out seasons, the acclaimed lighting exhibition Darklight returns this April school holiday with its most immersive edition yet: The Hidden World, a luminous journey designed to spark curiosity, wonder, and discovery for all ages.

Created for families and design enthusiasts alike, The Hidden World invites visitors to look closer and uncover the unseen magic of light. From glowing flowers to projection on mist, it is a living, vibrant environment where art, technology, and imagination converge.

By day, the space radiates with colour, movement, and interactive installations for explorers of all ages.

As night falls, the atmosphere transforms, light deepens, soundscapes emerge, and the experience becomes an immersive after-dark world of reflection and sensory wonder.

Book your session ticket and wander at your own pace, discovering a hidden world waiting to be seen.

About Darklight

Darklight is an indoor light exhibition, reimagining how audiences engage with light and sound, using minimalism, mood, and spatial design to evoke deep emotional response. It is more than an exhibition; it is a living exploration of perception, presence, and possibility. More info on darklight.co
