Bubble Planet bursts into Sydney Olympic Park today

• Bubble Planet: An Immersive Experience has arrived in Sydney after massive success in cities like New York, London and Milan.
• More than 10,000 Sydney tickets have already been sold with thousands expected to visit over the long weekend.
• It has opened at Paddington Pavilion at Sydney Olympic Park this morning.

Immersive edutainment is the way of the future for family-friendly fun in Sydney. That much has been shown time and time again with tech-forward experiences like Dinos Alive and Luna Park’s Sonic Neon. The next in line: Bubble Planet: An Immersive Experience, popping into Sydney Olympic Park’s Paddington Pavilion fresh from sold-out runs in London and New York City.

Sydney Olympic Park’s Paddington Pavilion has fast become the home for immersive edutainment. This morning it unwrapped this epic multi-sensory experience with 10 whimsical rooms, each offering a different ecosystem of light, colour, bubbles and fantasy.

More than 10,000 Sydney tickets have already been sound and 4000 people are predicted to visit this weekend alone. It’s the place to be. It’s found huge success overseas already, following sold-out runs in Milan, Los Angeles, London and Brussels.

The countless TikTok and Instagram-worthy moments certainly draw in the crowds.

What to expect at Bubble Planet

Bubble Planet takes a more-is-more approach that takes visitors on a fantastical journey through mind-bending optical illusions, state-of-the-art virtual reality experiences, projections and, of course, bubbles.

We’re talking all kinds of bubbles. Kids and their parents can step inside a massive bubble dome filled with colourful magic, bounce across a room of vibrant bubble balloons, take a plunge into an ocean of floating balloons, wade through a bubble bath pit, enter a soap bubble room and more.

On top of that, you’ve got an LED ocean bringing kids close to creatures of the deep, infinity rooms, a games area, and a place to create artwork and scan it into a projected underwater scene, much like the pioneering folks over at TeamLAB in Japan.

And after kids have wiggled their way through the many different rooms, they’ll end up in a dedicated party space where friends (both new and established) can celebrate with the ultimate bubbled-filled party experience.

The blend of art, play and technology speaks just as strong to a parents’ inner-child as it does an actual child. That much has been shown around the world, in places like Milan and London with over two million people throwing themselves at the experience so far. Sydney’s edition should be no less successful, especially since these cutting-edge edutainment experiences are becoming more common to meet demand.

Note that Bubble Planet is suitable for all ages. Children under the age of four enter free of charge. Do remember that it can be quite an overwhelming experience so parents who have children on the autism spectrum may want to carefully consider whether this experience is suitable.
