  • Huge museum with lots of interactive things for kids. This place covers cars, trains, planes, space, gondolas, boats, and more! Models big and small. It would take days to read everything. Pricey...

  • This is a very well done museum with a lot of great interactive elements. It's a nice mix of indoor and outdoor activities and is great for kids! Easily accessible by public bus and there is a lovely park and lake view across from the entrance. Note the the Swiss Chocolate Experience is pretty weird and could use some improvement in efficiency. We did enjoy the virtual reality experience and the film.
  • Great location to spend a whole day with family and/or kids. It is a pure fun place especially for kids. They learn lots of interesting topics such as transportation or communication. We got the annual pass in order to visit the place several times per year.
