DigiPark Sydney at Westfield Sydney - Review
We headed into the city this week for a first look at DigiPark Sydney located at Westfield Sydney, Pitt Street Mall which opened on the 28th December last year.
Located at Westfield Sydney on level 5 (same level as the Food Court), DigiPark offers 19 immersive experiences. Based on the hugely popular locations across Asia, this is the first DigiPark venue in Australia.
The kids enjoyed the visuals from the Space & Time Cube which is a 3D holographic colourful tunnel.
The Wandering Planets space surrounded us with planets and lights creating an infinity-like effect.
While the Mirror Maze tricked us and made us check twice where we were walking. The Magical Graffiti interactive art zone created some funny fish and the upside down illusion bakery with the cute dog was a highlight too.
There is also a 3D Figurine Creator Studio near reception where you can create your own little 3D figurine or buy from a range of 3D printed gifts.
Unfortunately, due to motion sickness I encounter on rides, we did not try the 7D Orbital cinema which takes visitors on a flying adventure powered by a 180 degree curved screen, motion and special effects without the need of VR headsets.
