Culture and shows for children in Bulle

Want a day of swimming with the family at the foot of the Fribourg Pre-Alps? Just a stone's throw from Espace Gruyère, the outdoor municipal pool in Bulle features a large 50-meter pool, a slide for non-swimmers, and a paddling pool designed for the little ones. There's something to keep the whole tribe entertained, from the most adventurous to the most cautious.

Looking for the beach on Lake Gruyère that has everything? It is La Pointe, in Morlon, which everyone calls Morlon Beach: toilets, outdoor showers, fire pits, beach volleyball and paddle rental, with the Île d'Ogoz and the Prealps as scenery. Free access.

Want a day of swimming outdoors with the kids? The Broc pool, nestled in the heart of Gruyère just steps away from the Maison Cailler, welcomes you with its outdoor pool, children's pool, and slide. A classic of the Fribourg summer, simple and refreshing.

What if the swim had to be earned at the end of a path? At Botterens, right at the southern end of Lake Gruyère, the shore is reached on foot from the lakeside trail, level with Villarbeney. A natural, free and discreet spot for a family swim far from the big beaches.

Looking for a sweet afternoon with the family? In Broc, Maison Cailler takes you on an interactive, multisensory journey through the history of Swiss chocolate. And at the end, an all-you-can-eat tasting awaits young and old alike. The joy of cocoa, just a short walk from the Broc-Fabrique station.

How is the famous Gruyère AOP made? In Pringy, across from the train station, the demonstration cheese dairy opens its vats to you. In the morning, your children watch the cheesemakers at work, with a fun audio guide in their ears. A delicious and lively visit, just a stone's throw from the Château de Gruyères.

What if you traveled back in time with your family? Perched in the heart of the famous medieval city, the Château de Gruyères opens up eight centuries of history for you. With its free fun trails designed for children, it's an outing that combines a fortress, legends, and panoramic views of the Pre-Alps.

What if the whole family boarded the same boat, with no licence and no experience? In Corbières, Aventure Gruyère rents licence-free boats, kayaks from CHF 15 and paddleboards, including giant models. There are even treasure hunts on the water.
