Enter into a shimmering wonderland of sparkling crystals at Swarovski Crystal Worlds, an indoor and outdoor museum and art gallery filled with crystals. Step into crystal chambers and study beautiful works of art at this dazzling, family-friendly celebration of crystals.
Head through the entrance, which is in the shape of a water-spewing giant's head. It leads to 16 subterranean Chambers of Wonder that feature crystal art installations. Visit the Blue Hall, which has slanted walls and contains several artistic masterpieces. Among them is The Persistence of Time by Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Go into the Crystal Dome, which consists of nearly 600 mirrors. Wander into Eden, a forest of thin, polished brass structures surrounded by mirrored walls. Walk along the Ice Passage where your footsteps are accompanied by the sound of cracking ice.
Discover additional imaginative artworks in the garden. Marvel at the Crystal Cloud, which was created from approximately 800,000 hand-mounted Swarovski crystals. This colossal piece is reflected in the water of the Mirror Pool that sits below it. Investigate the display of Roman artifacts. Among them are silver coins and the remains of a wall.
The garden also encompasses attractions for children, including a maze in the shape of a hand and an activity-based play tower, offering climbing, swinging, sliding and other activities.
Enjoy a range of cultural activities throughout the year, including an open-air cinema in August and the Festival of Light in January and February.
