Make your way to the Briar’s Community Forest for a starlit adventure into the Wizarding World™. The Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience is now open and ready to give you a magical experience in the forest. The immersive night walk first launched in the United Kingdom before making its way to the United States, Singapore and now Melbourne locals can experience the magic. Get your tickets soon to meet mischievous forest dwellers and see iconic scenes from the Fantastic Beasts™ and Harry Potter™ universe.
What To Expect
Get ready to enter the Forbidden Forest, which for Hogwarts students has always been out-of-bounds. While you follow the light trail you will witness iconic forest scenes unfold before your eyes, accompanied by enchanting sounds and lights dancing through the trees overhead. The experience has been crafted by acclaimed theatrical designers and experiential artists, guaranteeing a top-tier, otherworldly adventure. On your journey you’ll be able to greet Hagrid’s brother, the kind-hearted giant Grawp, catch sight of playful nifflers, and even summon your own patronus.
The evening walking trail through the forest will take approximately 45–75 minutes, depending on your pace, and you will encounter beloved characters and magical creatures along your path. As the walk is on a bushland trail, make sure to wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing. The forest walk will end at the village market, which is reminiscent of the cozy Hogsmead village. Enjoy warm beverages, themed treats and classic British snacks as you recount the evening’s adventure.
