This winter, Queenstown is about to get a whole lot more magical. Nestled in the heart of Kiwi Park, LUMA Enchanted is set to transform five acres of native forest into a glowing wonderland of light, sound, and storytelling. Launching over King’s Birthday Weekend (30th of May) and running all winter long, this is not just a walk in the park—it’s a journey through an illuminated dreamscape where art, imagination, and nature intertwine.
Brought to life by a powerful new partnership between Screentime New Zealand and the creative minds behind LUMA, this experience offers an intimate, curated night walk that invites you to slow down, breathe in the cool forest air, and immerse yourself in a fantastical world. As twilight settles over the trees, the forest begins to stir. Talking tree people whisper forgotten stories from the canopy. Gigantic glowing sculptures and whimsical creatures peer at you from behind twisted trunks. Along the path, you’ll stumble upon extinct animals and astonishing beings that feel pulled from the pages of a fairytale. The entire walk is alive with colour and sound, weaving together rich storytelling and ambient design in a way that’s captivating for both kids and adults alike.
Every ticket purchased for LUMA Enchanted contributes directly to Kiwi Park’s award-winning conservation work, supporting endangered birds, reptiles, and the native species that call this place home. With carefully planned routes that steer visitors away from sensitive enclosures and allow the park’s resident wildlife to rest undisturbed, the event reflects a deep respect for nature and the creatures it celebrates.
LUMA Enchanted is family-friendly, wheelchair accessible (with some hilly areas), and perfect for anyone who finds joy in immersive art, environmental storytelling, or simply the thrill of a glowing path beneath the stars. Whether you’re sipping mulled wine as you stroll or chasing after a giggling child on the hunt for a tree goblin, this is an experience made for memory-making. So don’t wait for the stories to come to you—grab your tickets, step into the forest, and become part of the story yourself.
