Laser tag, escape games and indoor play

For children who love action and challenges, Nyon has several indoor leisure venues suited to birthdays. They provide play areas, sometimes private rooms, and packages including drinks, snacks or a cake. Ideal on rainy days too.

• L’Élastique Citrique: a circus organisation in Nyon (acrobatics, juggling, circus workshops), where you can hold a birthday depending on the packages available.

Kindergartens and rooms to hire

For the youngest, or for a “home-made” party, some early-years centres and kindergartens in Nyon hire out their rooms outside opening hours. These venues are often already equipped with toys suited to young children and with secure spaces.

• 10 and over: laser tag and the action escape game at LaseRed, the escape room at the Centre de Magie de la Côte.
