Traveler reviews
J.M.S
★★★★★2 months agoA great activity for families, especially on a rainy Geneva day when you need something fun to do with the kids. The museum has plenty of entertaining exhibits that work for all ages — children love it, but adults genuinely enjoy it too. The staff were helpful and very interactive, but a special mention to 👍🏼Nils😃, who was just really nice and accommodating. He helped us find the best spots for photos and showed us exactly how to take them — making our experience so much more fun and memorable. Would definitely recommend it for families visiting Geneva!
