IGNITE YOUR SENSES

As a part of Firelight Festival, Firelight Labyrinth is an immersive multimedia experience set beneath Marvel Stadium. This experience is a world premiere using production technology not seen before in Australia.

Moving through three distinct rooms, this labyrinth of light tells a modern version of the mythology of Theseus and the Minotaur. Using cutting-edge technology, dynamic audio, and an astonishing array of over 144,000 lights, Firelight Labyrinth leads visitors on the journey with Theseus, following his descent into the labyrinth and his ensuing battle with the Minotaur.

Firelight Labyrinth is located at Marvel Stadium, Docklands and is open from 10am to 10pm daily, from Friday 28 June to Sunday 14 July 2024.

Tickets are available in entry timed sessions every 15 minutes. Last entry is 45 minutes before closure. All times are subject to change.

Firelight Labyrinth is suitable for a wide range of age groups to enjoy, however, please be advised that children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Customer discretion is advised when purchasing tickets for those who may not be comfortable amidst an immersive, high-volume experience. Some of the lighting sequences will include flashing, flickering and patterned effects, as well as strobe effects. Smoke and haze effects may be used in some areas. Low sensory sessions will be available – see below.

You should allow for 45–60 minutes to ensure enough time to fully enjoy the experience.
