In Bern, you can ride a funicular train to a hill overlooking the city. Up there, you'll find a fun amusement center for kids with a playground, water play, marble run, and rides for little kids including a mini train and electric cars.

The summer toboggan is the star attraction, with lots of twists and turns. It's a nice treat for the kids after a day touring the city and visiting museums.
