“What an artist, what a life story!!! Thanks for an unforgettable experience — absolutely brilliant!”

Ursula

on Ticket "VINCENT – Between Delusion and Wonder" immersive exhibition Lichthalle Maag Zurich

“Mini golf with a twist. It was fun.”

Martin

on Blacklight Mini Golf in Basel

“We enjoyed a really interesting and informative guided tour with our small group. Everything was explained clearly and brought to life, especially for the children. It’s definitely worth a visit.”

Valerie

on Ticket "Experience the Salt" at Saline Schweizerhalle

“A wonderful experience on a terribly gloomy day 😃 The planetarium in particular was just so 🧐 interesting”

Margrit

on Ticket Swiss Museum of Transport Lucerne

“Unfortunately, there’s no drinking water, but it’s fine.”

Manuela

on Rigi Rope Park Ticket

“As already mentioned, the facilities, the animals and so on are great! The restaurant loses a point: the food was only lukewarm, and I find CHF 17.50 for one hamburger (meat and bun) too expensive! If you also want chips or salad, that costs another CHF 3.”
