Traveler reviews
S. K. Hill
★★★★★3 months agoWhile waiting for my flight, I walked around and came upon this amazing place. I was like a kid in a candy store watching the plane movement from the open-air observation deck. Well done, Zurich Airport. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ian Stewart
★★★★★a year agoDecided to travel over from the UK for a day to take photos and videos for my you tube channel. Took a while to find it and get through the security checks, free to enter if you have a boarding pass if not a small charge of 5 Swiss Francs. It was a nice warm sunny day and it did get very busy, great for the kids to get up close to the aircraft, and maybe get a wave from the pilots. Depending on the wind direction on the day and runways in use you can get some great shots of the action both on the ground and the aircraft landing and taking off.
