Victoria's largest Christmas Lights event, the Christmas Festival of Lights, is returning to Adventure Park on Saturday 27 November 2021 with more epic light installations, an extended walking trail, two new rides and more awesome Christmas activities for the kids this festive season.

Adventure Park's Christmas celebration will run for 43 days, transforming the water theme park into a festive sparkling wonderland!

This year there'll be an additional 700,000 lights over a 2km walking trail that will illuminate the night sky in a dazzling glowing wonderland for a third year in a row.

“We thought last year was big, but the 2021 event is even bigger with 2.7 million lights and some really jaw-dropping feature installations. Said Bree Salmon, Adventure Park Managing Director

“We have new light displays going all the way around the 16 acre lake and we've completely transformed our huge undercover pavilion with a lunar lanterns exhibit, filled with zodiac themed animal installations and lanterns, it's so pretty. Plus there's two new fun rides that kids will love, more food and drink options like the Schnapps Bar, more children's activities and live entertainment. She said.

New light installations include a Lunar Lantern Exhibit complete with majestic 20m dragon, lanterns and animals from the zodiac; a Fantasyland with a 12m smoke breathing dragon, a 8m caterpillar and butterflies; a 25m Psychedelic Tunnel; Loch Ness Monster and enormous Angels from heaven plus so much more.

These add to an already spectacular lights display full of animals, giant toys, enchanted gardens, fairy-tale scenes, winter wonderlands and the popular shimmering sparkle archway, plus loads more jaw-dropping installations where you can snap a beautiful family photo. 

“The immersive and three dimensional installations have been so popular so we've added loads more of these where you can get inside and underneath for the perfect family photo” Ms Salmon said.

Santa will return to the Park's magical Christmas Cave where kids can write and post letters to the North Pole, and have professional photos taken with the jolly man in red himself at an additional cost.

Eight dry rides will be open including two new rides; the popular classic spinning Tea Cups ride and a unique Air Balloons ride which sees riders soar 20m into the sky for an epic view of the park before floating back down to earth.

Hear live music from the South Barwon Salvation Army Band performing Christmas carols every weeknight in celebration of the festive season.

New children's activities include Christmas craft and face painting.  Grown ups can have a cheeky Christmas cocktail and enjoy dinner or a snack from one of several food outlets and vans that will be serving up delicious fare all night.

“We're very excited to be running such a wonderful event now that Victorian's are able to get out and about again.  Ms Salmon said.

Last year crowds flocked to see the magical lights, with many nights selling out close to Christmas.

Adventure Park recommends booking tickets early to avoid missing out.

As per Victorian Government COVID requirements, proof of double vaccination for those 16+ years is required for entry to Adventure Park.
