Even if you’re not flying that day, the Zurich airport Observation Deck B is a really fun place for kids. It has a great playground, two helicopters that the kids can sit in, trampolines, etc. There is a small cafe and lots of room to run around and look at the planes taking off and landing. Lots of people told me about this before I went and I was skeptical. But it was great and I’ll definitely go again.

My son loved sitting in the helicopters and pushing all the buttons.

We went to the observation deck today and there were no helicopters- they must have taken them away. My son was so disappointed! 😞
I’m so sorry to hear that. We haven’t been in awhile and clearly this post needs to be updated. If you have current pictures of the playground to share that would help other readers, you can contact me at hello@swissfamilyfun.com.
