Easy bike ride along Lake Constance northeast of Zurich, including a leisurely loop around a quiet island.
See thousands of tulips and other flowers at Mainau Island, an enormous park just over the German border. Plus a great playground and nice picnic areas with lake views.
While our night train to Berlin with the kids wasn’t as romantic as seen in the movies, it was very convenient, an efficient use of time, and definitely more comfortable than a car or plane.
Visit the highest waterfalls in Germany and wander through a small village famous for cuckoo clocks.
We like the occasional day trip to this big water slide park over the border Germany, not too far from Zürich. In addition to the big action slides, it has a very nice collection of small slides for the under 6 crowd. They have a wave pool, diving platform, separate thermal baths and sauna for the adults, and it’s much cheaper than water parks in Switzerland.
