    VegeNation

    Grab a quick bite or coffee at VegeNation. It is just a two-minute walk from Container Park and opens at 09:00, so it is ready for you before the light hits.

  2. 16:10

    Container Park

    Be at Container Park to watch the giant fire-breathing mantis come alive. The evening golden light at 16:10 casts a dramatic glow on the open-air shopping center before the full night sets in.

  3. 16:50

    Pizza Rock - Downtown

    Walk nine minutes to Pizza Rock - Downtown for dinner. The casual pizza spot is a short stroll away and stays open late, making it an easy stop after the park.

  4. 17:30

    Bin 702

    End the night at Bin 702. This bar is only one minute from the restaurant and opens at 11:30, so it is fully open and ready for a post-dinner drink.

Local tip

The golden light window is short. Arrive at the park early enough to secure a good view of the mantis before the sun dips lower.
