It’s easy to get there from the city center by tram or bus, and it’s open daily during the summer months, typically from late April to early October.

During the event, the park stays open late and lights up with colorful installations and glowing decorations, creating a magical atmosphere after dark. It’s a fun way to enjoy rides, music, and art under the late summer night sky.
