Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds) is in Wattens, about 20 km east of Innsbruck, and opens daily from 09:00 to 19:00 with last entry at 18:00. A Day Pass costs €25 online or €27 on site for adults, €9 for children 6 to 17, and under 6 go free. The easiest way there is the e-shuttle from Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof, five times a day; the Day Pass with shuttle costs €38 for adults.
From 11 November 2026 to 6 February 2027 the park is lit for winter with crystal fairy-tale pieces by the designer Tord Boontje, and his Crystal Star tops a 10 m Christmas tree on the Grand Plaza. Going in the late afternoon lets you see the Chambers of Wonder in daylight and the lit garden after dark, since the doors stay open until 19:00.
A combined ticket with LUMAGICA, the light trail in Innsbruck's Hofgarten, is valid from 13 November 2026 to 31 January 2027, and the two can be visited on different days. Crystal Worlds is closed all day on 9 and 10 November 2026.

In summer the outdoor park comes into its own: the crystal cloud floating over a mirror pool, the alpine garden with artworks, the maze and the playground. The operator stages circus shows in summer. The Playtower and the carousel with animal figures by Jaime Hayon open from 10:00 to 18:00.
It also makes a good plan for a wet day in the mountains, as most of the visit is indoors in the Chambers of Wonder beneath the Giant with its glowing eyes and waterfall.

Plan on 2 to 3 hours inside and in the garden, plus about 30 minutes each way on the shuttle. A morning shuttle and the 13:35 return makes a comfortable half day; families who want the Playtower and the playground often need longer.
