Activities in Geneva
Loading activities...
Sport is the biggest thing, but only just
Sport leads with 493 activities, music follows closely with 409 and the arts with 366 more. Then dance on 117, science on 71 and languages on 53 between them.
That is a more even spread than most cities of this size manage, and it means a child who does not want to play football is not stuck.
Wednesday is still the day, everywhere
697 of the 1,529 activities run on a Wednesday, which is more than double any other weekday. Saturday is the real surprise at 423, ahead of Thursday's 385 and Tuesday's 373 more.
Sunday is the quiet one on 318 activities, and most of those sit in one or two communes rather than being spread about.
It is concentrated, and then it is not
The city of Genève holds 717 of the 1,529 activities, so almost half of everything is in one commune. After that it drops away fast: Lancy has 79, Meyrin 57 and Vernier 50 more.
The commune guides below are for the places big enough to be worth a page of their own. If yours is not there yet, it is usually because the catalogue does not hold enough about it to say anything true.
Teenagers are better served than parents expect
790 activities take 13 and over, which is more than half of everything we list. The idea that it all stops at twelve is the most common thing parents tell us, and it is not what the data says.
At the other end, 146 activities take a child of three or under, and 578 start between four and six.
What it costs, and what is free
105 activities cost nothing at all, which is roughly one in thirteen. Museum workshops, municipal ateliers and open sessions make up most of that list.
The rest is mostly a term commitment: 1,224 of the 1,529 are ongoing weekly classes, against 75 holiday camps and 201 one-off events.
