11 Fun Indoor Playgrounds near Zurich

Switzerland has many indoor playgrounds, great places for kids to run off some energy on cold rainy days. These playgrounds typically have trampolines, climbing equipment, bouncy castles, slides, and ball pits among other amusements.

Here are our favorite indoor playgrounds near Zurich, how to get there, and what to expect.

Note: Prices and opening times were updated in March 2023, but may change without notice.

What to expect at indoor playgrounds

Most indoor playgrounds are a big warehouse filled with relatively safe play equipment and lots of room to run around.

Recommended Age

These places are best for kids aged 5 to 12, but many have play areas suitable for toddlers. I’ve seen kids as old as 16 there, but with so many little kids running around, teens would probably be happier at a place like Winterthur Skills Park.

What to wear

It’s best for children to wear socks or gym “slippers”, the kind with non-slip soles (Formel Fun requires this). But you’ll mostly see kids barefoot or with normal socks. Kids should wear comfortable clothing that enables the most movement. I prefer my kids to wear long pants because they skin their knees easily on equipment.

Since most playgrounds are often in big warehouses, it can get a little chilly, especially for parents that are not running around like the kids. So the kids wear long sleeves and I usually bring a warm jacket for myself. Most have changing rooms, where you can store jackets and shoes but not all have lockers. Plan to carry valuables on your person.

Supervision

For kids under 6, you’ll probably need/want to follow your child around the facility, helping with anything that needs supervision and being close on hand if they get hurt. These places are enormous, get really crowded and it can be hard to find your child if you lose sight of them. It’s good to set up a meeting place, so they know where to go in an emergency.

Food

They all have cafes so you can eat lunch there, with typical “kid-friendly” menu options. Some allow picnics but not all. All host birthday parties, where you can reserve a table with decorations and a cake.

Ticket prices & Extra Fees

All places charge an entrance fee, which is a day pass and include access to most of play equipment. A few play halls sell both day passes and limited time passes, like 2 hours. Most offer multi-pack subscriptions that are cheaper than individual entrance tickets.

Many play halls have few pay-to-play attractions like bumper cars, mini golf, or air hockey which require a token or coin. Best to set expectations beforehand with your children about if and how many extras they can do.

Opening times

Most playgrounds are open weekday afternoons and all day on weekends and holidays. Most open all day and weekdays during Zurich school holidays. Check individual websites for details.

Tip for parents

It can be quite boring for parents, so bring a friend or something to distract. I usually listen to podcasts or music so I can keep an eye on the kids (not possible with a book) and the earphones drown out the constant noise.

Indoor play halls near Zurich

1. Trampolino – Dietikon

This play hall is one of the biggest and probably most popular. Best to go right when it opens because parking gets scarce and the entry line can get very long.

Bigger kids will love this place the most. But there are a few areas reserved for smaller kids, so a 3 year old can definitely have fun here with some supervision.

Trampolino has a few attractions that cost extra, including the harnessed trampoline and bumper cars. You can buy tokens at the entrance or cafe.

2. Play Village Zurich

At Play Village Zurich, play time is more structured, with variety of themed play environments like cafés, construction sites, supermarkets, or medical centers.

You book a specific day and 2 hour timeslot, which includes 100 minutes of playtime and 5 minutes for cleanup. After play time, rooms are cleaned and reset so each child gets a fresh experience.

We like the booking system as it helps the play area not get overcrowded, meaning children don’t have to compete as much for space and time with the play elements.

Springding is a huge indoor play hall near the south end of Lake Zürich. We liked that both little and big kids have plenty to do, so the whole family can be happy.

Freestyle Parks for older kids & teens

For older kids (10+) that want more intense trampolining, I’d suggest a free style park.
