Ludothèque Ali Baba

Lausanne, 1010

In Lausanne, the Ludothèque Ali Baba works on the library principle, applied to games: you choose, you borrow, you play at home, then you bring everything back and leave with new discoveries. Games and toys are lent to families from the neighbourhood as well as from across the Lausanne region. Borrowing rather than buying has a double advantage for parents: children regularly change games without the flat filling up, and each visit becomes a little outing in itself. It is also a good way to try out a board game before deciding to give it as a gift or buy it. Practical information, including opening hours, can be found on the toy library's website.

Ludothèque de Chailly

Lausanne, 1012

Up in the heights of Lausanne, the Chailly toy library lets families in the neighbourhood borrow games rather than buy them, with a catalogue that can be browsed online before dropping in. Activities and occasional events round out the lending service. One Wednesday a month, from 15:00 to 19:00, a session explaining board games is held for children from the age of 3: a lovely way in to discovering new rules as a family. Opening times are spread over four half-days. On Tuesdays, the library welcomes visitors morning and afternoon, from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 18:00, and on Thursdays from 13:30 to 18:00. Added to this are the monthly Wednesday at the end of the day and one Saturday morning a month, from 9:00 to 12:00.

Ludothèque Pinocchio - Lausanne

Lausanne, 1003

Right in the heart of Lausanne, on the Place de la Palud, the Pinocchio toy library lends games and toys to children of all ages and to adults alike. Games can be reserved directly online, which is handy for planning a visit, and play activities punctuate life at the library. The team brings together three toy librarians and around fifteen to twenty volunteers, who welcome and advise families. Opening hours are particularly generous: on Mondays and Wednesdays the library opens morning and afternoon, from 8:30 to 11:30 and from 13:30 to 18:30, and on Friday mornings until 12:30. On the last Saturday of the month, an extra opening from 8:30 to 12:30 completes the schedule. For families in the city centre, it is a convenient place to refresh the children's games as the seasons go by.
