All Special events

The Hunter Valley Gardens Mega Creatures event is returning this March – and this time, with a twist! Special lighting will illuminate the GIANT Brachiosaurus, T-Rex, Triceratops, Sabre Tooth Tiger, and Woolly Mammoths at the Mega Creatures Night Safari – an evening spectacle that invites visitors to see dinosaurs and mythical creatures from a whole other dimension! As well as seeing the epic display of dinosaurs, dragons, enormous insects, and ice-age creatures, kids can take part in a dino-fossil dig and wander the beautiful grounds. There will be a variety of food trucks selling pizzas, stuffed spuds, doughnuts, gelato and more, plus, you can enjoy some of the Gardens’ permanent rides – the tea-cups, swing chair, carousel, and Ferris Wheel. Want to make a night of it? Visitors to the event can turn their trip into a mini getaway and stay at Harrigan’s Irish Pub and Accommodation or the Mecure Resort, Hunter Valley Gardens – a great option for families who don’t want a long drive home at night. For those with younger children who’d prefer not to brave the dark, the popular daytime event is also running! When: 27 March – 25 April 2021 (including Good Friday). Morning Session Times: 9am – 4.30pm | Night Safari Times: 6 – 10.30pm. Book tickets here.    Read more…
