GLOtron!, Hamilton’s world-exclusive glow-in-the-dark storyscape experience launches in less than a month!

Get ready for GLOtron!, Hamilton’s world-exclusive glow-in-the-dark experience. GLOtron! opens for the very first time in December and will run through the summer. Thanks to Hamilton City Council for its support.

GLOtron! brings together seven years of fabulously successful Glow Shows into one wild and whimsical adventure.

GLOtron! is a magical maze of glow-in-the-dark storyscapes, which create an utterly original world for children to explore. It invites children to wander through its mysterious interactive stories and discover multi-sensory Glow-tastic creatures and characters.

Each twist and turn through GLOtron!’s mysterious maze brings extraordinary sensations for the senses, from knife and fork lightning glowing in the sky, to being eyeballed by enormous giants or feeling the tickles of huge fluffy cylinders.

As children enjoy this extraordinary storytelling, they also learn; playing number and word challenges as they move through this whimsical world.

This Glow Show’s mashup of science, education art, storytelling and puppetry has charmed more than 115,000 children throughout Aotearoa since it was created in 2017, and this very special event in Hamilton comes amid huge demand for a show that is loved by young and old alike.

Grab your tickets from glowshow.co.nz now! This will sell out, so get in fast. The experience lasts approximately 40 minutes. Special events may be possible on request. Tickets can include a behind-the-scenes tour.
