Hinter Musegg Farm

Clucking hens, grunting pigs and mooing cows in the middle of Lucerne! The open stable doors offer wonderful insights into everyday life on the farm. While the little ones watch the dwarf goats and mini pigs, you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the farm's restaurant (open during the summer).

Meggenhorn Castle

Visit the animal enclosure at Meggenhorn Castle in Meggen. It's open all year round and is home to goats, hens, rabbits and pigs – the children will love it! Also on site is a large adventure playground complete with sand castle, tree house and water games. The playground can only be reached on foot with a 20-30 minute walk.

Trumpf Buur Ebikon

The Trumpf Buur restaurant in the Riedholz recreation area north of Lucerne is the perfect destination for families. The children can make the most of the playground, challenge you to a round of mini golf and watch ponies, dwarf goats, hens, rabbits and ducks in their enclosures.

Chrüzhöchi pond biotope, Sonnenberg

Immerse yourself in the world of amphibians in a disused quarry on the Sonnenberg. The miniature pond biotope beneath the Chrüzhöchi is home to alpine newts, grass frogs and even rare midwife toads (also known as bell toads on account of the sound of their call). Embark on a voyage of discovery.

Lucerne Deer Park

The Lucerne Deer Park looks back on a centuries-old history. In the 17th and 18th centuries, state envoys and traders brought wild animals as gifts on their visits. Even today the park is home to some two dozen red deer. Muck, the red deer ladies and their young look forward to your visit.
