Imagine wandering around a serene lake after sunset, but instead of the usual quiet, you’re surrounded by a vibrant glow of LED lights and fluorescent colors. That’s exactly what the Glow in the Dark LED Tour with Aquaman offers in Stuttgart. For just $34 per person, this lively, 1-hour experience takes you on a luminous journey around Max Eyth Lake, with plenty of fun gadgets, a mystical storyline, and a fluorescent feast at the Riverhouse.
What we love about this tour is how it combines light-hearted adventure with family-friendly activities. The cool light equipment—think LED glasses and glow sticks—makes the experience feel like a scene straight out of a fantasy film. Plus, the chance to take home your glow sticks adds a quirky souvenir that’s both practical and fun. Another highlight is the black light room’s fluorescent menu, offering tasty bites and drinks that glow under UV light—perfect for a post-tour treat.
One potential consideration is the timing—the start shifts slightly depending on the season, from 6 p.m. in winter months to 7 p.m. in spring and summer. If you’re not a fan of the dark or outdoor activities, this might not be your ideal evening outing. However, for families, friends, or couples looking for something different and engaging, this tour hits the mark.
This experience suits adventurous families, young groups of friends, or anyone curious about a playful, illuminated side of Stuttgart’s natural scenery. If you enjoy interactive, visually stimulating activities that don’t take themselves too seriously, this tour will likely be a highlight of your trip.

The Route and Experience
The discovery tour around Max Eyth Lake is short—about one hour—but packed with visual delights. We loved the way the tour combines nature with technology—the peaceful lake scenes contrasted with the bright, luminous accessories. The light equipment is easy to wear and adds an element of interactive fun; you can make bracelets and necklaces from the glow sticks, which you can take home as souvenirs.
While the route isn’t lengthy, it’s designed to be engaging. Our guide, who we’ll call “Alex,” kept the pace lively and added storytelling elements, making the experience feel immersive. The black light room at Riverhouse is the perfect way to wind down. The fluorescent menu offers familiar favorites, but under UV light, they transform into glowing works of art.
Practicalities and Atmosphere
Timing is important—the start time shifts seasonally, from 6 p.m. in the winter months (November through January) to 7 p.m. in the spring and summer (February through March). This scheduling makes sense, given the earlier darkness in winter, but it’s worth noting so you can plan accordingly. The group size is not specified but typically appears intimate, which enhances the personal feel.
Since the tour is conducted in English, language won’t be a barrier for international visitors. The price of $34 offers good value considering the equipment, guide, and food included, especially for a family or group seeking a playful evening activity. Booking is flexible—you can reserve now, pay later, and cancel up to 24 hours in advance without penalty.
What’s the Value?
At just $34, this experience is reasonably priced for a unique outing. The light equipment is yours to keep, providing a memorable souvenir. The food and drinks at Riverhouse, although simple, are themed to match the glow-in-the-dark concept, adding an extra layer of fun.
The activity strikes a good balance between outdoor adventure and indoor comfort, making it suitable even in colder months. For families, it’s a safe, engaging way to explore the outdoors after sunset without feeling exposed to the elements.
