Activities in this guide, A to Z

What there is, by category

Sport leads with 1,381 activities, then music with 709, the arts with 628 and dance with 340.

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

1,557 of the 3,323 activities run on a Wednesday, which is more than double any other weekday.

Sunday is the quiet one on 370 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 1,210 of the 3,323 activities. After that come Lancy with 321, Vernier with 268 and Meyrin with 245 activities.

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

1,216 of the 3,323 activities take 13 and over. 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, 349 activities take a child of three or under, and 1,213 start between four and six.

What it costs, and what is free

126 of the 3,323 activities cost nothing at all. Museum workshops, municipal ateliers and open sessions make up most of that list.

The rest is mostly a term commitment: 2,912 of the 3,323 are ongoing weekly classes, against 157 holiday camps and 207 one-off events.
