Activities in this guide, A to Z

Half of it is one pottery studio

Gymboree Play & Music Geneva runs 44 of the 117 activities here.

A wheel, a kiln and somewhere to put the results is a genuinely hard thing to find for a child in Geneva, so a commune that has one is worth knowing about.

It is a camp commune too

12 of the 117 activities are holiday camps and 4 are one-off events, against 94 ongoing classes.

The camps come from the international school, so they run in English and they fill early.

Saturday barely exists here

Wednesday carries 40 activities, then Monday with 32, Thursday with 31 and Tuesday with 28. Saturday has 11 and Sunday 7 activities. This is a weekday commune and it does not pretend otherwise.

Worth knowing before you plan a weekend around it, because the honest answer is to look at Vernier or Versoix instead.

It is aimed young

Only 9 activities take 13 and over, and just 62 take a child of three or under. The sweet spot is the middle: 22 start between four and six.

So this is a commune for primary-school children rather than for toddlers or teenagers, and a family with a fourteen year old will find it thin.

What it costs

Nothing here is free: the count stands at 0 out of 117 activities.

Pottery and international-school camps are both at the higher end, so this is not the commune to look at first if budget is the constraint.
