The back-to-school voucher is ideal for godparents, grandparents or the family itself. From Zürich Zoo to the Lucerne Transport Museum or the indoor play park near you – the family picks the perfect outing. Redeemable in all school holidays, valid 2 years.

For the first day of school, moving up a class or simply as a reward after the report card: a shared outing motivates longer than a new pencil case. The family chooses between zoo, Museum of Transport and play park – and the next holiday week has its highlight sorted.

Insider tips for the start of school

What parents often overlook.

Book weekdays during the school holidays

Most family activities are packed at weekends. Mon–Wed during the school holidays is far more relaxed.

Give it to the godparents, not straight to the child

Experience vouchers often feel 'abstract' to children. Give it to the parents, who can then plan the experience.

Family day passes only pay off from four people

With three people, single tickets are often cheaper. Always do both sums.

How much does a back-to-school gift cost?

Family experiences on this page start from CHF 8 per ticket; around half cost less than CHF 25. For the whole family's outing, multiply by headcount – or give a value voucher at that level.

How it works

  1. Pick an experience

    Choose a specific experience that suits the person. Or a value voucher.

  2. Choose design and words

    Pick a design and write a personal dedication – for a birthday, Christmas, a wedding or simply to say thank you.

  3. Give it

    They redeem whatever they fancy most: the experience on the voucher or a different one.

When is the best time for the family to redeem the voucher?
On weekdays during school holidays: Monday to Wednesday, zoos and indoor parks are far quieter than at weekends. The voucher is valid for 2 years – every holiday week is a chance.
Do I give the voucher to the child or the parents?
To the parents – a voucher means little to a child. The parents turn it into the outing, and the child gets what counts: the shared day.
