December to April

Lantasia at Boneo Maze

Lantasia - Lantern Sculptures

Boneo Maze is a 27-acre nature based attraction, a hive of activity, offering peddle boats, maze treasure hunts, picnic gardens and mini golf. But after 6pm, the park’s magical side comes to life with the Mornington Peninsula’s light sculpture event: LANTASIA.

For a limited season this summer, LANTASIA will open nightly from Boxing Day, 26th December 2016. Boneo Maze invites visitors to experience an ethereal display of fantasy light sculptures.

Born from an ancient Chinese tradition of lantern making, the beautiful sculptures are crafted over several months on hand-painted silk over wire frames. LANTASIA will feature more than 100 light creations and a long-held dream of owner Michael Wittingslow; “Many years ago I saw the lantern festivals of Singapore and China and thought how I’d love to bring them here to Australia. By opening the gardens of Boneo Maze at night and creating this unique light sculpture ambience, we’re hoping to bring a little bit of magic to the Mornington Peninsula”.
