Description

Conductor Yuki and her terrifyingly spectacular friends are celebrating Christmas in the Arctic when they uncover a wonderfully spooky secret. Join them on an adventure through glittering ice, dancing lights and gentle Christmas magic.

The projections transform the courtyard of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich into a winter wonderland. The show was a hit with audiences back in 2021, bringing light art, music and history together for a memorable experience for the whole family.

Practical information

  • The light show at Illuminarium takes place outdoors in the courtyard of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich.
  • It’s a large-scale, immersive light projection, projected onto the buildings and façades around the courtyard.
  • You can stand or sit outside and enjoy the projections, accompanied by music, sound and storytelling.

Travelling with a wheelchair

  • The courtyard where the light show takes place is fully accessible, with a firm, level surface

Travelling with a pushchair

  • The courtyard is easy to navigate with rehabilitation pushchairs and prams
  • Access for families with a pushchair or hire buggy is arranged individually on site

SwissActivities tip

There are several places to spend some time in the courtyard’s freely accessible areas before or after the light show. You can grab a bite at the Food Corner, where various stalls around fire bowls serve hot meals, sweet snacks and hot drinks. For a cosy family meal, head to the heated fondue chalet in the courtyard, serving cheese fondue, wine and desserts.

Tip: With an evening ticket, you can see all three light shows that evening for CHF 23.90 (adults) – cheaper than buying individual tickets from the second show onwards.

I found it very visual and since I don't speak German, it helped me understand.
