THINGS TO DO IN GENEVA – FOR FAMILIES – (NOVEMBER 2018)

Brought to you by Parentville.ch

The weather has changed drastically and now is the time to be indoors, enjoying all the comforts of home: watching movies, baking, and playing board games en famille. But let’s face it – staying home until the weather improves would wear down even the sunniest of dispositions. Luckily, Geneva offers plenty of fun year-round. Discover exciting exhibitions at Palexpo, a new science center for kids, theatre shows, and family brunches! Stay warm, and enjoy your family time right here, in Geneva!

 

AUTOMNALES

November 2nd to 11th

Things to do in Geneva for families NovemberLike every year in November, the Automnales in Palexpo is an opportunity to stay dry and warm, while having some fun. Geneva’s popular fall festival offers plenty of indoor activities for children: a “farming school” teaching them all about farm animals, fruits and vegetables; an inflatable playground; laser games; Escape Room activities; and more. On Wednesday, November 7th, special workshops will be hosted to teach children how to best organise their space, and how to play scrabble. Last but not least, kids of all ages are sure to love the International Dogs competition and Cat World Cup!

TOP TIP: Check out the ongoing “expos” to find an event that matches your family’s interests: dogs, cats, Japanese culture, dance, nature…

WHEN

November 2nd to 11th, 2018

Monday through Saturday: 11h to 21h (restaurants and bars open until 23h)
Sunday: 10h to 20h

Wednesdays and after 18h free entry. Try to avoid weekends for less traffic and to avoid the crowds.

WHERE

Palexpo, Geneva

MORE INFO

For a detailed program, opening hours and prices, please visit the Automnales’ official website.

 

 

 

MOUSTACHES – THEATRE SHOW

Things to do in Geneva for families NovemberThe city of Vernier is becoming increasingly famous for its rich cultural program, including the offer for children.

One character is left out –  so he runs away in pursuit of his own moustache! It is a show about identity and accepting each other’s differences. For children aged five and above and their families.
