Outside there is a park with an alpine garden, a viewpoint and a play tower for children. Admission costs €25 online and €27 at the ticket office, and the Innsbruck Card includes it.

Independent companies: you book with them, on their terms. Prices are as they publish them and may change.

The electric bus leaves five times a day from Innsbruck central station and drops you at the door.
The grass-covered hill with the crystal eyes and the waterfall.
Rooms inside the hill, each with a different installation of light and crystal; among the current ones, Silent Light and Crystallizing Identity. On 26 November 2026 a new one opens, Dreamscape.
Outdoor works, an alpine garden and, for children, the play tower and the carousel, from 10 to 18. The playground and the maze are closed for now.
Swarovski Kristallwelten is the museum and park that the crystal company opened in October 1995 in Wattens, about 20 km east of Innsbruck. The entrance is the Giant: a grass-covered hill with a face, crystal eyes and a waterfall in its mouth, the idea of the Austrian artist André Heller. Under the hill are the Wunderkammern, rooms in which artists and designers work with crystal; outside, a park with outdoor works, an alpine garden and a children's area.
It works in rain, through the rooms, and in sun, through the park. Allow two to three hours.
On the way out you have the Swarovski shop, the Swarovski Optik one and the Daniels Kristallwelten restaurant, with Tyrolean and international cooking, which you can enter without a museum ticket by asking for a free pass at the counter. The audioguide is not available for now.
Open every day from 9 to 19; last entry is at 18. The restaurant is open from 9:30 to 19.
The online ticket is flexible: it is valid for one entry at any time within five days of purchase, and can be cancelled free up to 24 hours beforehand. With the Innsbruck Card you get admission and the shuttle. There is a discount with a disability card, also for the companion.
Pushchairs and wheelchairs can go through the Wunderkammern and the park, except the alpine garden, which has steep stretches. Wheelchairs are lent free and there are accessible toilets next to the welcome desks.
With children, the park usually lasts longer than the rooms. Children aged 6 to 13 must be accompanied by an adult on the shuttle.
