Decorative Lighting at Europa-Park

by MK Illumination | 15.10.2025

When we talk about decorative lighting in amusement parks, many people first think of the wow effect, the magical atmosphere, and the immediate guest experience. But the true value often emerges over the years—through continuous collaboration, innovative lighting concepts, and a deep understanding of a place’s identity.

Long‑Term Collaboration with Europa‑Park

Since 2006, MK Illumination has had the privilege of partnering with Europa‑Park—Europe’s second‑largest amusement park. What began as a festive decoration solution has evolved into a comprehensive, long‑term cooperation that now covers numerous areas of the park—including the themed hotels Bell Rock, Colosseo, and Krønasår.

Innovative Lighting Concepts for Sustainable Guest Experiences

Renovation and modernization of 3D light motifs in the park
Development of bespoke lighting installations for new themed areas
Preserving visual heritage while adapting to changing visitor expectations

This close collaboration makes it possible not just to decorate, but to actively shape the guest experience, create emotional bonds, and strengthen the park’s brand identity across seasons and spaces.

What Makes a Successful Partnership?

The key lies in consistency, co‑creation, and a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of each amusement park. Long‑term partnerships open up the opportunity to grow together, develop innovations, and continuously improve the visitor experience.
