Windows of Imagination

Windows of the Imagination brings to life 179 artworks created by Auckland tamariki during the construction of the City Rail Link. Inspired by bedtime stories, night lights and the power of imagination, this giant projection transforms the façade of Te Waihorotiu Station into a series of imagined city rooms in a captivating six-minute video loop.

Wander closer and you'll discover children's artworks hanging on the walls of each room. While you're there, play a game of I Spy and search for 20 hidden trains, three pets, a pair of poi, an erupting volcano, a lighthouse, a giraffe, an anime cat, a kōtare, a quirky hamburger and a caterpillar train.

Then step inside Te Waihorotiu Station to see the original collection of children's artwork that inspired the projection. From there, catch the City Rail Link to Te Waitematā Station for a giant game of POPS Pinball.

The projections are just the beginning.

There is even more to discover at We The Young, the festival for curious young minds and their whānau. Enjoy a packed programme of shows, activities and experiences for the whole family throughout the September school holidays. Explore and book the full programme and plan your adventure today.
