Hey all!
My 11 year old stepson is going to spend a few weeks with us here in Zurich, we are so exited
I have found some outdoor activity, cycling, go-kart and few other things for us to do.

Any advise on other things that could be fun for this age here in the Zurich area?

We are also planning a trip to the Europa-park for his birthday in July, has anyone here taken their kids over there...

You can try to spend hours (or even the whole day) together in Technorama.

There, the children can try everything related to science (they have Chemie Lab as well), try to make ice cream, make chocolate, try all the theory of mechanics, physics...

And try to explain all those thing to him.
(Hints : they have the "how things work" brochure nearby the exhibition in English too, just in case you cannot explain it to him )

Or maybe even better, check their website
www.technorama.ch

edit: they are in Winterthur, just about 30 min. by train from Zurich.

Have fun...
Ollie

Family friendly places to visit has quite a few ideas in.
I'm moving this Thread to the same part of the Forum too as I think most of the free-time ideas are there.

Thanks you guys for your help and useful information

Yes. He will love Europark. You might do, too
