Helpfulness
An underground tour through uninteresting laser installations and crystal boredom. You will see some nice crystal arts by Keith Haring or Niki de Saint Phalle at the beginning but that's about the only interesting part of this place. Oh wait no, the toilets were very stylish, too ;) Apart from that there's a crystal room, lots of laser crap, crystal dresses and costumes and a half-interesting room designed by Brian Eno.
Prices in the shop (yes, there is a shop. Probably the main reason for creating this place!) are not lower than in "normal" shops.
Outside there's a little park with a labyrinth. We were looking forward to it because we thought it would be nicer outside than inside. But it wasn't. It was boring!
Unique Suggestions: Run away! As fast as you can!
Fun Alternatives: Go hiking! After all you're in the alps. Who wants to see computer installations in a wonderful landscape like this.
Or spend the day in the beautiful town of Hall instead! It's very close to Wattens where the Kristallwelten are.

Kristallwelten by Swarovski is the main reason for most tourists to go to Wattens BUT there is certainly more than that !

On a very rainy day we went from Innsbruck to Wattens to visit Swarovski Crystal World (Swarovski's Kristallwelten). I hated the place, it was boring and just one big tourist trap!
