Museums.
Even for the smallest toddlers.. Just from the top of my head: The Natural History Museum, MAMCO, Museum of Ethnography, Geneva’s Art and History Museum, and Ariana with its kids corner and discovery trails, Firefighters’ Museum, CERN. Check their websites before going out, very regularly they hold workshops and organize events for kids of various ages (always posted on Parentville’s Instagram).
Vivarium.
Located in Meyrin, easily accessible with a tram. It’s not big but big enough to satisfy those interested in lizards, turtles, and reptiles! Check out their website!
Botanic shop in St Genis Pouilly.
Yes! A shop opened on Sundays! Check here, if you still can’t believe it.
Le Chef restaurant at the Airport.
Get a meal, or a gouter, sit by the window and watch planes land and take off! Here’s their website: Le Chef.
A brunch on a rainy Sunday in Geneva WITH KIDS?
Fancy other restaurants or a family brunch? Best reserve in advance in either Restarant du Parc des Eaux-Vives (with animations by BG World), Les Granges in Dardagny (with occasional kids activities by ProNatura), Un R de Famille, or Mamma Lisa in Puplinge (check their kids activities by downloading this file).
