Food & Beverage
There is a food and beverage area in LUMAGICA Park where you can get drinks and snacks.
Good to know
Good footwear is an advantage. You can expect a difference in altitude of approx. 100 meters. But don’t worry if you’re not good on your feet. Even if you are dependent on a walking aid, you can still enjoy the gardens.
Vouchers /Gift vouchers
With a LUMAGICA voucher you can come to the park at any time. You don’t have to specify a day or time slot.
How long is the circular route?
The circular route (not guided) is a one-way system and is approx. 1.3 km long. Depending on the time spent and breaks, it takes about 1.5 hours.
There are signposted toilets along the way.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs may be man’s best friend, but they are not the best friends of tender sprouting plants. Our four-legged friends have a slightly different idea of the perfect use of a garden. What’s more, some plants are poisonous. That’s why dogs and other pets are not allowed in.
Accessibility
The park is wheelchair and baby carriage accessible.
I have lost something in the park. What can I do?
Write us an e-mail to info@lumagica.com
Weather and clothing
LUMAGICA is an outdoor event and takes place in all weathers, including rain.
Tickets cannot be returned due to bad weather.
In any case, we recommend weatherproof clothing and sturdy footwear.
May I take photos?
You are cordially invited to photograph our light shows. We would be delighted if you captured the special atmosphere of the park of lights and shared your impressions with us on social media under #lumagica #lumagicameran

Is the Touriseum open?
No, the Touriseum remains closed during LUMAGICA.
Are all the paths accessible which are accessible in summer?
We have staged a light trail that highlights the beauty of the gardens. For safety reasons (darkness), however, not all paths are accessible during LUMAGICA.
Can I enter the park if the time slot is already full? I missed my timeslot, can I enter the next one?
If you have missed your timeslot, you can enter the next available timeslot, subject to availability. We recommend that you contact the staff on site to discuss the options.
Why are there time slots at all and why are they necessary? Can I stay in the park beyond my time slot?
Time slots are necessary to control visitor numbers and ensure a pleasant experience for all guests. They help to minimize queues and maintain safety standards. You can stay in the park beyond your booked time slot.
Why do I have to enter my license plate number for the parking ticket?
So that the exit is guaranteed. By entering the license plate number, the parking system can recognize your vehicle and open the barrier automatically
