MAJOR MILESTONE: FUNDING SECURED & CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE CONFIRMED
(December 2025)
​
We're thrilled to share exciting news as
"The Future is Wild @ The Hillocks"
moves from vision to reality!
​
After extensive planning and development, we secured project funding at the end of October 2024, confirming our September 2026 soft opening. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in bringing New Zealand's first immersive VR nature experience to life.
​
CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES JANUARY 2026
Earthworks and service installation will begin in January 2026 at our stunning 24-hectare site in Glenorchy. Watch this space for construction updates as our world-first attraction takes shape against the backdrop of the Southern Alps.
​
VR EXPERIENCES COMING TO LIFE
Production is in full swing! Our team at Burningfish Productions has completed a demo version of one of our four spectacular VR experiences. This sneak peek showcases the breathtaking quality visitors can expect when they encounter ancient Moa, witness the fearsome Haast Eagle, and journey through time to explore climate change impacts and solutions.
