Events currently Thursday through Sunday evenings.
Sensorio is open and now in residence.
Bruce Munro: Light at Sensorio, is an immersive walk-through outdoor exhibit that is now permanent and will continue in residence. We’ve recently added two exhibits by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro: Fireflies, a whimsical work made up of close to 10,000 flickering points of light and Gone Fishing, a playful representation of the contemplative act of standing by a stream. These exhibits complement the current Field of Light and Light Towers – also by Munro.
Live music, food and beverage, local wine, beer and distilled spirits are available onsite during event hours. Hours of operation are based on the sunset time of each month.
Extended Holiday Hours: Sensorio will be OPEN this Wednesday 11⁄22, Sensorio will be CLOSED Thursday 11⁄23, and OPEN Friday 11⁄24 through Sunday 11⁄26.

Featured in The New York Times as #6 in “50 Places to Visit,” Light at Sensorio now features four installations by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro. Field of Light is a multi-acre walk-through experience, Munro’s largest artwork in the world, recently expanded to more than 100,000 stemmed spheres lit by fiber optics, gently illuminating the landscape in subtle blooms of morphing color that describe the undulating landscape. The adjacent Light Towers celebrates Paso Robles’ extensive wine country environs, featuring 69 towers composed of more than 17,000 wine bottles, illuminated with glowing optic fibers whose colors morph to an inspiring musical score. The two newest exhibits by Munro, Gone Fishing and Fireflies, were unveiled on May 19, 2023, and can be found in a small valley adjacent to Light Towers, adding another half-acre to the exhibit. Powered by solar, these stunning exhibits captivate visitors, inviting them to engage with the landscape and environment through an ethereal light based and sculptural experience. Smithsonian Magazine has called Munro’s art “stunning,” while The Guardian noted “This is art you feel, rather than art you view.”

The Future of Sensorio
Sensorio, the intersection of art, technology and nature, was designed as a destination for entertainment, exploration, meditation, adventure, and delight. It honors the natural topography of the landscape, offering visitors amusing, musical, and kinetic experiences. The Central California destination launched in May 2019 with Field of Light, and now expands with the première of Light Towers in 2021. The two newest exhibits by Munro, Gone Fishing and Fireflies, were unveiled on May 19, 2023, and can be found in a valley adjacent to Light Towers, adding another half-acre to the exhibit. Future attractions at Sensorio will include additional art exhibits, as well as a hotel and conference center.
