Summer activities for children in Vullierens

Fancy a big breath of fresh air with the children on the Vaud part of La Côte? In Aubonne, the Arboretum du Vallon de l'Aubonne unfolds nearly 200 hectares of forest and meadows, crossed by themed trails and home to more than 3000 species of tree. A nature day to be savoured at child height.

Fancy discovering how cheese is made? In Montricher, at the foot of the Jura, La Fromagerie Gourmande reveals the secrets of Gruyère AOP: a making gallery, a robotic cellar to see behind a glass window, a film and a tasting. A gourmet visit for the whole family.

Want a day of swimming in the great outdoors, without driving for hours? The Piscine d'Aubonne, located at the foot of the castle, features a large pool, a paddling pool, a slide, and play areas in a green setting ideal for families from La Côte.

Looking for a warm cinema outing, far from the big multiplexes, with your children? The Rex in Aubonne is an independent, association-run village cinema that offers family screenings and even film clubs designed for the youngest. Easy to reach and perfect in any weather.

Fancy showing the children the stars? In Morges, the ASTRAC observatory opens its dome to the public one evening a month, free of charge. Moon, planets and star clusters through the telescope: a magical and instructive outing, to enjoy as a family after dark.

Fancy diving into the world of fresh water as a family? In Tolochenaz, beside the Boiron, the Maison de la Rivière introduces children to aquariums, naturalised animals and even a submarine. A lively, interactive nature museum, perfect whatever the weather.

In Morges, the Théâtre de Beausobre presents a youth program each season designed for families: puppetry, storytelling, musical theater, and circus, to provide children with their first great emotions of live performance.

Fancy an indoor playground near Morges? In Étoy, the Kids Fun Park rolls out 1500 m² of play for 0-13s: a volcano to climb, slides, trampolines and a ninja course. An indoor outing perfect for burning off energy, whatever the weather, with free parking.
