It was such a beautiful event with small red lights along the pathway and soft music playing along the 837 metre stretch. I booked us for the 8.30pm session as I figured it would be less busy at this time. We arrived half an hour early as I wasn't sure about the parking so we entered at 8.00 pm and it was no problem to go in early. These events have times so to spread the crowds out over the evening but very flexible. We were there for an hour to take it all in and we loved it. I've been to the City Botanical Gardens Lighting events but this was very different and I loved it even more. The animals were huge and apparently made out of "Lantern" material and one of the staff told us they they came shipped fully built so you would need some big shipping containers.
The photos don't do these animals justice as the lighting was beautiful and the photos look a little dull but can highly recommend if you are local to go as it's a beautiful event.
