Excursion tip for families: off to the park
The "Nature. And you?" adventure trail is just the thing for curious children and nature-loving adults.
What is there to experience?
A touring exhibition is making its way through the four Migros parks in the countryside. Five exciting stations guide visitors through the park, offering plenty of fun and knowledge. Listen to the audio stories that reveal the secrets of the wilderness. Discover why nature is a place of well-being and what tracks we leave behind. The large wooden columns offer simple explanations for children and deeper insights for adults. Tricky questions will spark your curiosity: How big are ant nests really? And why do snails leave a trail of slime behind them?
The adventure trail will change how you view your relationship with nature.
When and where can you enjoy the adventure trail?
You can experience the exhibition at Park Grün 80 in Basel until 24 July 2025. From 1 August, it will then move on to the Gurten near Bern. The exhibition will conclude its tour next year, firstly arriving at the Park in Grüene Rüschlikon and then setting up shop at the Parc Pré Vert du Signal de Bougy near Geneva.
Why is it worth a visit?
The trail provides an invitation to see nature from a new perspective, to deepen our understanding of it and to learn to appreciate its value anew. Each of the stations poses a big question that invites you to reflect on your own relationship with nature. Project managers Sandro Hodel from Migros Culture Percentage and Julia Hochuli from the Stapferhaus are convinced: "The adventure trail will change how you view your relationship with nature."
Interested in more?
Come along on a guided tour! Free tours led by employee of the Stapferhaus are offered for families and school classes that register in advance. Children get the opportunity to discover nature with all their senses. It's even more fun to discuss questions about nature in a group. So, let's head outside.
