Traveler reviews
Jonathan Hansen
★★★★★2 months agoNice, modern, small, hands-on museum in the heart of Zurich. Some of the exhibits were small or redundant with others. Though most of the visitors were elementary and middle school aged children, the exhibits also appealed to older adults like my wife and I. We found it to be a fun short stop while we were waiting to catch our train to the alps.
Jooree Kim
★★★★★8 months agoA wonderful play space for mothers and daughters! While the lack of a lounge or a seating area for drinks was a downside, we still had a great time. Recommended place to visit! :-)
