Activities for children in Meyrin
Who would guess, while crossing Meyrin, that this municipality is home to the first satellite city in Switzerland and houses the largest particle physics laboratory in the world? At the gates of CERN, Meyrin is a young, multicultural city that is surprisingly green, where families have access to some of the most comprehensive recreational facilities in the canton of Geneva.
Trampolines, climbing walls, a vivarium, a theater, swimming pools, and even an artificial lake: the range is wide, both indoors and outdoors. One can spend a morning by the water, an afternoon climbing, and an evening at a show, without leaving the municipality.
Tram, train, or car: Meyrin is easily accessible from the entire Geneva basin. Here are our ideas for activities for children in Meyrin, to fill a Wednesday like an entire vacation.

Why choose Meyrin for a family outing?
Few municipalities in Geneva can boast such a range of activities. For some fun, Gravity Park with its trampolines is alongside Totem Escalade Meyrin and its routes suitable for the youngest: two reliable options for rainy days, also worth considering for birthdays. The Maisonnex sports complex rounds out the offerings with racquet sports and mini-golf.
On the nature side, Lake des Vernes invites a leisurely stroll around its reeds, binoculars in hand to observe the birds. And the Meyrin vivarium fascinates children with its snakes, lizards, and other reptiles — a visit that impresses and excites at the same time.
In summer, the choices are plentiful: the outdoor pool at Les Vergers, the one at Les Ailes in Cointrin, or the covered pools in Livron when the coolness returns. Enough to swim twelve months a year.
The cultural surprise is the Théâtre Forum Meyrin, one of the major stages in the canton, whose programming offers great performances for young audiences: circus, dance, visual theater… An opportunity to introduce children to live performance in professional conditions.
Science, nature, sports, and culture: Meyrin encapsulates what the western part of Geneva offers to families. A municipality to (re)discover beyond clichés.
