  • Glide silently between cliff tops on the iconic Skyway and Cableway and see the Three Sisters lit up against the darkness of the Blue Mountains National Park.
  • Kids can go on their own Nocturnal quest to discover the Gundungurra Story of Creation! (The child ticket includes a special activity sheet, Nocturnal buff and pen).
  • Your Nocturnal pass includes one ride in and out of the valley on the Railway and/or Cableway, and a return trip on the Skyway.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as last year’s Nocturnal?

Nocturnal this year is fresh with all-new immersive light displays and installations to celebrate the unique landscape, animals and plants of the Blue Mountains. You can still ride all three rides at night like last year.

Does my Nocturnal pass include rides?

Yes! Your Nocturnal Pass gives you one trip in and out of the rainforest on the Railway and/or the Cableway, and one return trip on the Skyway. (It does not include unlimited rides like our Day Pass).

What's the differences between Nocturnal and Nocturnal Saver?

The Nocturnal Pass includes parking on site at Scenic World.

The Nocturnal Saver Pass does not include parking at Scenic World. You park elsewhere or catch public transport to Katoomba, then jump on the complimentary shuttle bus to bring you to and from Scenic World.

How long will the experience take?

We recommend allowing 90 minutes for your Nocturnal experience.

Please note your session time is your ride time - please allow ample time before to park and check-in.

Why not make a night of it? Arrive earlier to enjoy marshmallow roasting at the fire pits, mulled wine or dinner!

Does my Unlimited Day Pass include Nocturnal?

No, the Nocturnal Pass is separate to the Unlimited Discovery Pass, and the Unlimited Pass does not include the event on the day. You can upgrade your ticket on the day to include Nocturnal at the ticket box if there are tickets left.

Please make sure you buy your ticket in advance to avoid disappointment. Tickets are likely to sell out fast and in advance!
