Activities for children in Lancy

Between the Rhône and the Aire, Lancy unfolds its two faces — Grand-Lancy and Petit-Lancy — on the heights to the southwest of Geneva. The municipality has managed to preserve rural corners, generous parks, and even a farm, while offering families modern recreational facilities.

It is this dual personality that makes Lancy interesting for a day out with children: in the morning at the farm among the animals, in the afternoon at the trampoline or the swimming pool, and in the evening at the cinema. All of this is easily accessible by tram or car from anywhere in the canton.

Why choose Lancy for a family outing?

Lancy is one of those municipalities where you can always find a solution, regardless of the children's age and the weather. The star of nature outings is the Gavotte farm: a real educational farm where little ones can get close to farmyard animals, just a few minutes from the city center. A bubble of countryside in the middle of an urban area, which delights from the age of 2.

When it comes to letting off steam, AIRLOOP Trampoline Park lines up its trampolines and jumping areas in a large covered space: the perfect option to burn off energy on a rainy day or to celebrate a birthday. In the summer, the outdoor pool of Marignac takes over with its pools and lawns, in one of the most beautiful parks in the municipality.

Aspiring movie buffs are not forgotten: the Ciné-Saussure, a neighborhood cinema in Petit-Lancy, offers an engaging family-friendly program, while the Arena Cinemas in La Praille showcases major films on the big screen, next to the Geneva stadium.

Farm, trampolines, pool, and cinemas: Lancy offers a surprisingly complete program. It's the kind of place where an impromptu outing easily turns into a wonderful day.
