Step into another dimension at Wake The Tiger
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to step inside a kaleidoscope? Or wander through a mad scientist’s lab? In Bristol, you can do all that and more at Wake The Tiger, the world’s first “Amazement Park”. Created by the masterminds behind the infamous Boomtown music festival, this immersive art installation is not just a walk-through exhibit—it’s a journey for your imagination.

The journey through Meridia

The adventure starts in what looks like an ordinary, abandoned paint factory. But the moment you find the glowing, pulsing tree, you’ll be transported into the parallel world of Meridia. Here, you’ll discover over 40 distinct spaces filled with mind-bending art, interactive elements, and a rich, eco-conscious backstory.

As you explore, you’ll meet the “Sub-Coms,” a collection of inventive communities working to restore their dilapidated world. Their story unfolds as you uncover hidden passageways and solve clever riddles.

Interactive rooms and surreal spaces

The fun of Wake The Tiger lies in its complete and utter weirdness. You might find yourself:
Wandering through a psychedelic forest of giant, illuminated mushrooms.
Strolling through a surreal domestic space where the walls and floors don’t behave as they should.
Sitting in the “Astral Plane,” a trippy airline cabin where a medley of digital imagery floats past your window.
Slipping and sliding down a multi-sensory tunnel in the vibrant world of Aetheria.
With secret doors hidden in bookshelves and kitchen cupboards, you never know what you’ll discover next. The non-linear layout means you can forge your own path, making every visit a unique adventure.

The big-picture philosophy

But beyond the funky aesthetics and interactive fun, there’s a bigger, more meaningful story being told. Inspired by Peter Levine’s book Waking the Tiger, the park is all about transformation and using creativity to drive positive change. It encourages visitors to think about pressing issues like climate change and our relationship with the planet, all through the engaging and accessible medium of art.
For anyone looking for a unique, weird, and truly wonderful experience in Bristol, Wake The Tiger is an absolute must. It’s a place that will ignite your inner child and leave you feeling inspired.
