Whatever the weather, museums are always a good idea for families. In Lucerne,
The Swiss Museum of Transport is home to thousands of items celebrating transport from the past, present, and even future. A highlight for kids at this fantastic tourist attraction is the Garden Railway which takes passengers around a pond on a real mini steam engine. A stunning model railway, steam locomotive show and a variety of real trains make this museum sure to appeal to all the family. The transport museum also houses interactive exhibitions on cars, airplanes, helicopters, cable cars and other vehicles. A 3D cinema at the Swiss Museum of Transport provides daily showings of stunning, family-friendly films, whilst the museum’s Planetarium gives visitors an amazing glimpse of the skies above us, with the opportunity to experience a space-walk from the comfort of their chair. Children will also enjoy the Traffic Garden, where they learn traffic rules while playing in a pedal cart, or they can set to work with shovels and mini diggers at the Road Construction Arena.
On the banks of the River Reuss is another fantastic museum that gives visitors a glimpse of Swiss history. The
Lucerne Nature Museum makes for a fun family day out, as it gives an exciting insight into the natural world. As well as looking at plants and animals, visitors to the museum can learn more about geology and technology through a range of innovative exhibitions. Children will especially love seeing animals living in terrariums and aquariums, as well as taking part in some of the museum's special events for kids.
