Moon Drops at Darling Harbour
Pop and Jasmax | New Zealand
Australian Exclusive
Experience weightlessness inside the earth’s gravitational pull and float through the air, with giant bouncy droplets Moon Drops at Darling Harbour.

International designers Jasmax collaborated with Alt Group and Auckland Council Public Arts team to create these super-sized water-filled droplets.

Head down to Darling Harbour to try out your skills on our seven bouncy pads, that you can play, step, jump and roll on – like a rubber-encased drop of water or a mysteriously shifting spec of mercury, but scaled up by 1000%.

The installation is a moon-inspired mini-adventure for all the family to try out, defying gravity on Earth. Slip off your shoes and enjoy some (free) silliness on the brightly coloured Moon Drops at Darling Harbour this Festival season. Who said space travel had to be serious?
Important Info
  • Moon Drops at Darling Harbour features an accessible table-top option, for anyone who would prefer to have a sensory experience with this installation without the climbing and jumping.
  • Smile for the cameras – this event is being filmed and photographed. Let our staff know if you don’t want to be photographed.
  • Space travellers must leave their worldly goods at the gate before boarding a Moon Drop.
