Discover Switzerland in one place – Family trips to the Swiss Open-Air Museum

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Swiss history, showcased through 100 historic rural buildings from across Switzerland. The interiors are a veritable treasure trove of pre-1950s objects. From antique tools to ornate artefacts, these provide intriguing insights into ways of life in bygone times. Each building tells its own story and invites you to become part of it.

Experience the thrill of the great outdoors together. A family hike through the diverse cultural landscape of our open-air museum will not only deepen your understanding of farming’s agricultural and cultural significance – it also promises heaps of fun. With every step you take on the 10 km discovery trails, you’ll get closer to uncovering the rich cultural heritage of the landscapes. People have shown an interest in the climate, soil and flora and fauna for centuries – and this is more relevant than ever now.

Hands-on interaction, play and fun are all encouraged at our museum. Our large woodland and adventure playgrounds featuring a petting enclosure are sure to keep little adventurers entertained. The “All ears” themed trail transports adults and children alike to a world full of fairy tales and legends. You’ll find lots of hands-on stations where you can get involved and try out old tools. And if you’re ready for a nice break, our fireplaces and picnic areas are the perfect places to come together and enjoy some delicious food.
