Looking for a school holiday activity in Adelaide that will inspire kids and adults alike? TIMELIGHT: Beyond our ticking world is a must-see, family-friendly event before school goes back!

What is TIMELIGHT?

Premiering exclusively in Adelaide, TIMELIGHT invites visitors of all ages to step beyond the busy world of ticking clocks and explore time as a living, breathing force. Through vast digital landscapes, interactive projections, and futuristic visuals, families can:

  • Bend gravity

  • Animate time

  • Play with the rhythm of clocks

  • Explore nature’s cycles and cosmic wonders

This is more than just a visual spectacle—it’s an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reimagine how we see time in our lives.

A school holiday experience for all ages

Designed to captivate both kids and grown-ups, TIMELIGHT is the perfect school holiday event in Adelaide. Whether you’re visiting with curious toddlers, teens, or grandparents, the experience offers moments of excitement, play, and reflection for everyone.

The experience is divided into two immersive spaces:

  • The ILA Studio: Surrounded by over 100 square metres of LED screens, guests are immersed in a high-tech playground of motion, colour and sound.

  • The ILA Gallery: A quieter, reflective space where visitors can contribute to a living, collective artwork that evolves across the season.

TIMELIGHT runs throughout the October school holidays, offering multiple session times to suit families with young children or those looking for a quieter, relaxed session. Be sure to book early, as this exclusive Adelaide event is expected to sell out quickly! Book tickets here.
