Indoor play parks and trampolines
The great classics of the Geneva birthday, perfect for burning off a group’s energy whatever the weather.
- Yatouland, in Les Acacias: the big indoor play park where you can climb, jump and slide to your heart’s content. A safe bet for 2 to 10 year olds.
- AIRLOOP, in Grand-Lancy: the trampoline park where children bounce safely, summer and winter.
- Gravity Park, in Meyrin: trampolines and parkour supervised by coaches, for guests with energy to spare.
- Le Môll, in Vernier: bouldering, trampolines and an area designed for the youngest, all under one roof.
Laser tag, escape games and team challenges
For older children and pre-teens, nothing bonds a group of guests like a mission to complete together.
- Laser Game Genève, in Eaux-Vives: a multi-level maze for games full of energy and laughter.
- LaseRed Genève: a life-size prison where laser tag and escape games meet, a stone’s throw from the city centre.
- Quiz Room, in Eaux-Vives: a real TV studio where you buzz in as a team. Original and unifying from age 7–8.
- Paintball.ch: a game of paintball in the forest, in a gentle, supervised version from age 6, designed precisely for birthdays.
Creative and original
- ColoRoom, in Les Acacias: a room where children paint with no rules at all, splash about and leave with a real work of art. The favourite birthday of budding artists.
- Rollers Mini-Golf Bar and Swing: two indoor minigolf venues with astonishing décors, between cinema sets and interactive holes that light up. Perfect for a group of mixed ages.
Outdoor options
- Parc Aventure Genève, in Onex: treetop adventure, rope bridges and giant zip lines in the Evaux forest, with courses from age 3.
- Baby-Plage or the Jardin botanique: for a free birthday snack by the lake, simple and joyful, in the warm season.
Our tips for organising the party
- Book 3 to 4 weeks in advance for Wednesday and Saturday slots, which are in high demand.
- Check the minimum ages: they vary from one venue to another, especially for laser tag and paintball.
- Remember non-slip socks for the trampolines: some venues sell them on site, but it is worth warning the guests’ parents.
- For outdoor options, keep an indoor plan B: indoor venues fill up quickly on rainy weekends.

Frequently asked questions
Where can you hold a children’s birthday in Geneva when it rains?
Indoor parks such as Yatouland, AIRLOOP, Gravity Park or Le Môll are the safe bets, as are laser tag, Quiz Room or a painting workshop at ColoRoom. All of them are under cover, all year round.
Which birthday should you choose for a 4-year-old in Geneva?
At that age, go for Yatouland or the toddler area at Le Môll, or an outdoor snack at Baby-Plage. Laser tag and paintball are better suited from age 6–8.
