Miniature Wonderland! - Swiss Vapeur Park, Le Bouveret




Swiss vapeur park is an amusement park located at Le Bouveret on the other end side of geneva lake in Canton Vaud near montreux.

It's a miniature wonderland for kids with different kinds of mini version of swiss trains like those Sbb trains all over switzerland and swiss steam trains.




We had a weekend trip to Le bouveret to visit swiss vapeur park and swiss aquaparc. It's perfect for a family like us because they're just on the same location, no long walking required since we have twin babies with us.




It's not just for kids but for the whole family.You pay for a day entrance and you can ride all the trains as much as you want, aside from mini trains they also have mini replicas like castles and popular churches in switzerland.

They have kiosks and souvenir shops inside the park and if you want to bring your own food they have picnic area too.




I subscribe my son to Sbb magic ticket for kids and as a member we got a discount for an entry ticket in Vapeur park and to other amusement parks. 

(Magicticket.ch for all the infos.)






The good thing is ,it's just across the street from Le bouveret train station for those who don't have cars or for those who want to travel by train.
And it's near Le Bouveret Bahnhof (station). There is a BnB La Berg du Lac-Valentin (just few meters from bouveret bahnhof) we paid 100fr. for a night for a quadruple room with breakfast. The owner is very nice but just speaks in french or maybe a bit english, my husband is speaking french so we didn't have problems at all.


We love Swiss vapeur parc and Le Bouveret, such a lovely place! We will come back again soon :)

Family fun at Gardaland ,Italy

Gardaland
Gardaland in Castelnuovo del Garda at Peschiera del Garda in Gardasee in the Region Venetien.


We went to Gardaland during our Venice trip last summer and also because of our legoland Merlin Card subscription,that includes 1day free entrance ticket for the whole family.




The place is really nice but so crowded and hot during peak season.Again,Long queus is our problem since we have small kids with us.We just walked around and simply enjoyed the place,they have small game booths for small children.If you'll check their website, it's exactly the same in actual (i was a bit disappointed in Disney,Paris...it was not that fab like on their Website).Restaurants during Peak season is full so better eat at their Kiosks or take away area.Families can do picnics as well but strictly just at their Picknick area.


My son (actually all of us) enjoyed this surprise thingy like 1€ for every paper bag surpise.
At the end we had like 7 stuffed toys with us,luckily we won the biggest ones.


They have different themes inside,like this arabian building which is really nicez
Again we have small Kids with us.so we were not able to check what's inside this building .

They also have their own Gardaland characters that you can have photos with ,for small Kids this is a good Entertainment.




For babies or toddlers they have small rides like the carousel,banana rides and a lot more!

for the ticket Price pls. check the link below.


Happy Niko got his frist stuffed toy Price ;)


Again, we visited Gardaland during our Venice trip and aside from that we visited Verona which is on our way home,so we thought to check it out as well...also Garda Lake.Always think of side trips on your travels because you'll never know maybe there are interesting places nearby,you just need to know where ,google is always available for all the  Infos you need ;)  
We stayed in a farm that turned to B&B.

Check agriturismo and there you will find Family b&b's for an affordable Price but good standard ones.

Visiting Disneyland,Paris

Disneyland,Paris


We went to paris just to see the Eiffel Tower and to explore the City itself but it was again our son's birthday so we thought to surprise him in Disneyland.We booked our flight from Zurich to Paris via ebookers.ch with car rental.We always travel with the whole Family so having a car is a good way for us to avoid long queus at the Train Station and the hassle of rush hour.


at the entrance.


It was a sunny day but cold ,t'was around October.A lot of poeple at the park that time.

They have express ticket if you want to avoid long queus but with extra cost.




My son enjoyed all the rides and i was able to join him in this elephant ride :D
in some rides parents are allowed to join their Kids if their not that brave enough to go alone.




The steam Train is a nice attraction for the whole Family,a good way to relax after a long walk in the park.




The toy story gang



 In the afternoon they have this traditional Disney Parade,which was really nice and very beautiful with all the famous Disney characters ,everyone loved it! Always bring extra battery for your camera ,for sure you will take loads of photos during your stay.


There was a lot of poeple so better pick a nice place to have a perfect view.








 Buzz light year my son's fave toy Story character. They have a lot of Disney Merchandise shops all over the park,so better buy a souvenir as rememberance if your sta.My son bought  a buzz light year toy,exactly on the Picture ( small version).
