When: 16 October 2026–17 January 2027, Tuesday to Sunday. Opening hours vary during the season.
Admission: Online tickets cost 49 RON for children aged 4–14 and 59 RON for adults from Tuesday to Thursday. Friday–Sunday and designated holiday tickets cost 59 RON for children and 69 RON for adults. Children aged 3 and under enter free.
Around the World at Lumina Park Bucharest
The theme takes visitors from Arctic landscapes to scenes inspired by China, Africa and the United States. Light installations mark the route, while music and interactive attractions accompany the journey between destinations.
The trail is about 1.5 kilometres long, and a visit takes around 90 minutes to two hours, depending on your pace. Allow time to explore, rather than arriving just before closing, especially if you are visiting with children or plan to take photographs.
Hot drinks are available inside the park, offering a chance to pause during the walk. As this outdoor attraction runs through autumn and winter, warm clothing and comfortable shoes are a sensible choice.
