Spot Picks: Water Playgrounds

Splash, play and explore – water fun isn’t just in the lidos. Switzerland's family-friendly water playgrounds are fun, learning, and outdoor adventure. From interactive water channels and playful Kneipp pools to natural ponds and climbing rocks, they offer endless entertainment for little water lovers.

Water works wonders: In the “Suonen- und Sudelpark”, kids become water engineers – redirecting the flow through wooden channels, aqueducts and waterwheels, just like in the old Valais irrigation system. Barefoot Kneipp pools, splashy chaos and a lively playground complete this wet adventure.

Stoos

At the end of the “Moorweg”, the Stoos-Seeli playground offers splashy fun for little water lovers. Dam, pump, and climb over rocks, then cool your feet with a quick dip in the icy water. A floating jetty with a Kneipp pool adds extra refreshment, while the scent of campfires and grilled sausages fills the air.

Curiosity flows freely at the playground “Gwunderwasser”: Across 1,500 m² of watery wonderland, children reroute brooks, build dams and set the water wheel spinning. A sound bowl chimes, the sand-and-stone zone invites digging and building, and young explorers – equipped with magnifying glasses – search for tiny creatures in natural ponds.
