swiss vapeur parc

Having seen some of the reviews on TripAdvisor, I gave this place a try and overall, I was not disappointedWhat I liked: Small scall "Switzerland" and local area. A few different train itineraries. Mostly all train models are Swiss replicas, with a few exceptions, including a US Amtrak train. Nice area to walk. Good value, especially if staying in a hotel in the Riviera area and have been provided with a Riviera cardWhat to watch for / could be improved: Line-up to get in was a bit slow, and indications on which "tracks" to show off or the next train where not really clear. People were also quite aggressive to grab the next "train", and could not care less whether you were with a little one or not...Highly recommended for everyone, not just train enthusiasts

Our second time there. Nice miniature train park. The main (and actually only) attraction is that you can ride on the trains around the park (which includes its own mini lake, mountains, train stations, etc.) as many times as you want. Young children love it. I imagine an incredible amount of work goes into maintaining the place and the result is very good.The only drawback was the restaurant: it smelled of uninviting old frying oil but, as it was lunch time and we had not brought a packed lunch, we gave it a try. Mistake. Very heavy greasy food. To be avoided. Bring your own packed lunch.

We love visiting here but sadly out new buggy got stolen today. No cameras means police can't really do much. No action from management who was more interested in packing his money away. No apology no action. We then ate at the creperie the good was so awful it was unedible. The kids love it here it's good fun but today was a great shame. Be careful in high season better leave your buggy in car and any valuables keep on you. Take a packed lunch :)

Probably the best place to enjoy Train Rides with - NO WAITING times.Variety of trains - including real STEAM Engines.Kids could spend whole day in the park and may forget the adjacent zoo at all.Most recommended for family with young children.

Even if you don't have romantic memories of train sets as a kid, this place is great fun for an afternoon. Little trains of all varieties (steam, electric, diesel) take you round a mini world of bridges, ponds, castles and villages. If you can, take the paddle steamer from vevey or montreux and even stop at chillon castle to make a day of it. Allow 10 minutes to walk from the boat to the steam park. there are a couple of places to eat inside the park but it's the usual greasy fare...plenty of nice places for a picnic though. Hint: if your child has a CFF magic ticket pass, the whole family pay 50%

The three kids enjoyed the trains very much, but when the time comes to feed the family, waiting 1 hour for three crepes is unacceptable.There's plenty of tables around the crepes booth, so you could expect some capacity to deliver fast food. But seeing moms carry their hungry little ones for over an hour, without being warned that they'd have to wait... That can't be blamed on the cook and the waitress, but on terrible management.

I would think this to be more of a local attraction. Good for kids. Limited interest for most adults. I've been here twice. Both times I happened to be in the area and the kids asked me to go. I wouldn't make a day of this place but it's worth perhaps a couple of hours if you're nearby.

Located right off the lake, and close to the train station, it is a great to place to learn about the Swiss trains, landscape, make up of towns and villages, roads - all in miniature and riding on a train - fun, fun, fun for all generations. An now, there is a new cafe, eatery there with a nice terrace. Nice addition!

Simply an awesome place. About 5 or 6 trains each able to carry maybe 20 people running around a miniature landscape in frequent intervals. A village, parks, lakes, train station, castle, tunnels, bridges, cable car and more. Houses and everything else built with a great attention to detail. Our children loved it there, we spent good 3-4 hours including lunch and a break for pancakes. Also saw groups of teenagers and senior people driving around on trains and having a great time. Highly recommended.

As we paid to go in and I saw what I thought was a rather small area I was wondering if we would even fill an hour here - in fact, it was bigger than I thought, and we spent a very enjoyable afternoon pottering around on trains and admiring a world in miniature. The weather forecast had been grim so there weren't many people around when we got there (later on the sun came out and there were queues for the trains). Several trains to ride on - different stops - pleasant little walks - picnic areas - a cafe (hot meals, usual unimaginative kids offering of nuggets, sausage and chips (with not a vegetable for them in sight!!) but I had a very passable lasagne and salad. ) We were only passing and came here completely on the spur of the moment, but we all had a lovely time. I wouldn't say this is worth a day trip however as you could be in an out in an hour or two. Attention to detail on the replica models is very good - a nice feel good factor in an old fashioned outing kind of way!

A realy nice place where you can see a ton of miniature trains. Beautifully kept and a free bike centre next door.

We visited the parc yesterday with a 3.5 year old girl and a train mad 18 month old boy. It was a really great way to spend a few hours entertaining both the children and us parents. The detail in the buildings etc was fantastic. Enough trains to ensure minimal waits ( never more than a few mins). Train journey was long enough for parents to relax with very happy children. Eating was fine - not gourmet but pretty reasonable. Will certainly return again - a really good find v

Great place this, with lots of interesting a trains to ride on. Jump on a train and ride round the park passing replica Swiss buildings, mountains, bridges and other well known landmarks. Very reasonably priced with a small food and drink outlet.

The place is really interesting for kids even for adults. One whole ride is like 20-30mins. With beautiful miniature of famous sceneries of switzerland.They have enough small trains if they havr big volume of poeple visiting the park and no long waiting in the line.Paying 15fr is worth it ,ride all you can. They have also small food stalls and restaurant inside and souvenir shops as well. The place itself is wonderful near lake of geneva ,you can even have a short walk afterwards ;)My son is an SBB "Ticki Park" member so we got 50% off discount for the entrance fee for the whole family.(simply subscribe your child in sbb.ch and you'll get a lot of benefits and discounts ,for swiss residents only)

This is a quaint little place to visit where you and the kids can ride upon the mini trains around the track. My kids 6,3 and 2 throughly enjoyed the time there it was a little rainy when we went but the trains still kept going round. When it got busier they brought out some more trains. Was nice to walk around as well plenty of toilets located for the little ones. The site is well done. The price is good especially if as the little ones are all free and there is a restaurant with a choice of food to choose from. As with anywhere it can get a bit pricey if there are quite a few of you but there is the option to eat outside with a picnic too or you can leave the site and come back as they stamp your hand. I would defintately recommend especially as this is somewhere which is open for a sunday activity where so many places here are not.
