Visitors can walk through a lush green field sculpted entirely from metal or experience the thrill of a futuristic space odyssey within a 360° immersive experience tunnel.
The Starry Sky
Ascend to the second floor and be mesmerised by the “Starry Sky” exhibition. This bright and romantic space features dazzling constellations and celestial bodies, all meticulously crafted from metal. It’s the perfect spot for capturing unforgettable photos or simply getting lost in the awe-inspiring beauty of the recreated cosmos. Below are some parts of the exhibition:
Candy Maze: The Candy Maze is described by many as stepping into a huge kaleidoscope trap. Get lost, and you’ll be stuck in it forever! But if you do get stuck, at least you’ll spend the rest of your life in a beautiful maze. Feel the maze come alive with every step you take, not just visually through your eyes, but by how it makes you feel in your heart and with the touch of your hands. This maze is a favourite with children.
Enchanted Forest: Walk in and be enveloped with lights hung both high and low from the sky, alive with constantly changing colourful lights, wrapped in soft interwoven cloth. This maze gives you the feeling of being in a beautiful forest of light and shadow.
Reach for the Stars: A dark and ambient space with diamond shaped lights mimicking stars suspended in the air, lighting up the room and creating infinite reflections in the mirrors. This maze gives you the feeling of falling into a colourful dream, surrounded by alluring and romantic stars that you could almost reach out and pick with your bare hands.
The fantasy starry sky exhibition seamlessly combines advanced technology with the world of light and shadows. Covering an area of 400 square metres, it includes over 12 themed exhibitions, a 360° immersive experience tunnel, and a bright and romantic starry sky.
