Relaxed Sessions: Winter Wonderlights

Winter Wonderlights

Experience the magic of Winter Wonderlights in a more relaxed, accessible setting.

Our Relaxed Sessions are specially designed for visitors who prefer a quieter, less crowded environment. Sovereign Hill transforms into a sensory-friendly space where everyone can enjoy the glow, sparkle, and wonder of Wonderlights.

What to expect

  • Fewer crowds to allow for more comfortable exploration
  • Designated quiet spaces for downtime and decompression
  • Sensory kits, including items like ear defenders and fidget tools, available from the main entrance and Sovereign Hill Hotel
  • Communication boards available in shops and dining venues
  • Social scripts to help you prepare and navigate the experience

These sessions are part of our commitment to the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative, supporting visitors with non-visible disabilities, conditions, and chronic illnesses, and designed in partnership with Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia).
