Perth is about to get a whole lot more colourful, with half a million balloons transforming the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre into a larger-than-life wonderland just in time for summer.
After taking on New York, the internationally acclaimed Balloon Story exhibition is floating its way over to Perth for the first time, bringing with it an immersive experience bursting with Instagram-worthy moments.
Officially opening on November 20, the epic exhibition will feature hundreds of thousands of balloons twisted and sculpted into extraordinary works of art, creating a whimsical world of imagination.
Sustainability is also a focus of the exhibition, with the balloons being made out of natural latex from the sap of rubber trees, making them environmentally friendly.
From towering balloon installations to immersive installations, visitors will be able to walk through a series of different colourful exhibits which is designed to bring the inner-child out of everyone.
The New York Times described the experience as a “whimsical, imagination-run-wild spectacle”, while Time Out said it was “a feat of artistry”.
But the exhibition is not just about taking pretty pictures worthy for social media.
The family friendly experience encourages visitors of all ages to explore, play and interact with the installations, making it a colourful outing perfect for the school holidays.
Visitors can expect to spend about an hour to 90 minutes exploring the balloon-filled wonderland, with the event also being fully accessible.
There is no minimum age requirement, and children under three can go in for free.
Tickets for the event are available to purchase from noon on Thursday.
