What to Expect from the Neon Bubble Show
More tours and activities we've covered in Baden Baden
The Program and Experience
The show lasts approximately 35 to 40 minutes and is set entirely in darkness to maximize the glow effect. The artist uses ultraviolet flashlights to illuminate giant neon plumes, fire bubbles, smoke tornadoes, and even gigantic soap bubbles. A highlight for kids and adults alike is the glowing soap bubble tunnel, where each child can step inside and become part of the spectacle.
Multiple reviews praise the professionalism of the performer, noting that they wear glowing clothing and execute magical effects with precision. The show is not just a passive visual experience; there’s significant engagement, with the performer inviting guests—especially children—to dance under a white bubble rain after the main act. This interaction boosts the fun and makes the event more memorable.
The Visuals and Atmosphere
The UV lighting transforms ordinary soap bubbles into floating cosmic orbs that shimmer with neon colors. The effects include fiery volcano-like bubbles, smoke tornadoes, and mesmerizing bubble displays. The combination of black surroundings and ultraviolet illumination creates a sensation of floating in space—a real treat for the senses.
In reviews, one guest mentioned how “the glowing effect was so spectacular, it felt like floating through a galaxy”. The full darkness is essential; any stray light diminishes the effect, so it’s crucial to ensure the venue can be properly darkened during the performance.
The Performer and Equipment
The show is delivered by a skilled artist, who is equipped with UV flashlights, smoke machines, and the necessary materials for the bubbles. All equipment is set up and dismantled by the performer, which means there’s a bit of planning needed from your side—specifically, ensuring enough time (15-20 minutes) for setup and teardown.
Guests have commented on the energy and enthusiasm of the performer, who often wears glowing costumes that enhance the cosmic theme. The show includes not only visual effects but a musical backdrop that complements the magical atmosphere.
More Great Thing To Do NearbyLocation & Venue Considerations
The meeting point is at Augustaplatz, in front of Rizzi Restaurant, making it convenient for those staying in the town center. The show requires a dark room of at least 4×4 meters with access to two to three power sockets (consumption approx. 6kW). The venue must be able to stay dark during the show, so it’s best suited to indoor locations or outdoor spaces where you can control light conditions.
A major advantage is that the performance can come to your chosen location, whether it’s a private hall, backyard, or hotel conference room—adding a personalized touch to your event. However, transportation costs apply if your venue is outside Baden-Baden, at €0.60/km.

Practical Tips for Booking
Guests recommend planning for 15-20 extra minutes before and after the show for setup and dismantling. Also, bringing along a camera is highly encouraged to capture the glowing spectacle, but socks are needed to keep the performance area dry. Smoking and fire are not permitted indoors, aligning with safety regulations.
Is It Worth the Price?
For $709 for a group of up to 15, you’re paying roughly $47 per person—a reasonable rate considering the uniqueness of the experience. The show offers visual entertainment that appeals across ages, making it perfect for family events, birthday parties, or small gatherings.
While the price may seem steep for just 35-40 minutes, remember that you’re paying for a professional performance, all equipment, and an experience that’s hard to replicate. The added flexibility of booking a private show means you won’t be sharing the spectacle with strangers, enhancing its value for special occasions.

This neon bubble show is particularly well-suited for families with children, especially those aged 5 and above who will enjoy the colorful effects and interactive elements. It’s also excellent for celebrating birthdays or adding a fun twist to corporate events or small weddings.
