“Interesting museum. The children’s activity suitcase was a welcome addition for our kids. There is a lot to see and a good amount is interactive. We enjoyed our visit, and learned a lot about Switzerland.”
Walk Beatus Caves from the museum to the illuminated cave walk in Beatenberg, with an audio guide and a 1 km route.
“We both ranked this as our favorite activity of our trip between Rome, Florence, Milan, Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne and here. Maybe because we didn't know anything about it beforehand and just heard "There are some cool caves to walk through in this place." so we were NOT expecting the beauty and history all attached to this place. IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION: We had a QR code through GYG to go here, but you have to SCAN that at the restaurant and receive actual paper tickets. Maybe we missed that in the directions, but we ended up having to go back down to get paper tickets and that was frustrating. Everything else was amazing!”
