If you are looking for a way to entertain the kids on the weekend or while on vacation then an amusement park is always a great option. Many of the amusement parks in Switzerland are not as well known as say Europa Park in Germany, so most people make the long trek over the border there.
However, there are lots of fun options right on your doorstep in Switzerland!
