Bernese Oberland: Day trip to Thun with children
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Schlossmuseum Thun. We explored five floors of the museum, discovering Thun's history. We tried a medieval board game and dressed up as Renaissance citizens after cracking a safe code. The views from the towers were amazing

Highlights: The museum was very engaging for the children. They enjoyed the interactive exhibits, such as the medieval board game and dressing up in Renaissance attire. The best part was looking out from the open roof windows in the four turrets, seeing the full panorama of the Alps ✨
