Brunei-Muara - The Jerudong Park Playground has extended the Dazzling Lights Festival at Jerudong Park Gardens.
Launched three weeks ago, the festival which was scheduled to close yesterday will be open to the public until January 13.
According to the latest record of number of tickets sold, the park has received an impressive 18,000 visitors since the opening, up to New Year's Eve.
"Most likely, the numbers have reached 20,000 this week," said Family Entertainment and events coordinator Wilhelm Albos Bayona, who expected the figures to grow in the following week.
He said that the extended period is a chance for people, especially those who were out of the country during the holidays, to visit the park to witness the amazing sights. Schools are welcomed to organise field trips to the park, said Bayona, who added that there are more events and activities lined up for the rest of the year as they aim to make the park an activity centre for families.
The colourful displays constructed out of silk and metals and decorated with splendid lights include 30:1 replicas of several wonders of the world such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Also strategically arranged around the Musical Fountain at the park are life-sized lanterns in the shape of insects and animals from endangered pandas to rhinos and monkeys and the mythical dragon.
Most are also equipped with mechanical parts for movement and sound effects for a realistic experience.
The exhibition is jointly organised by the Jerudong Park Playground, A Fortune International (Singapore) and Sky Wave Marketing Management Services.
