Tips to spend less
Aim for Wednesday afternoon, when Vaud and Geneva schools have no classes: Bowling de la Praille drops from CHF 25 to CHF 18 per child, and the Château de Chillon costs CHF 350 instead of CHF 380 on Sunday. Several venues let the birthday child in free, including Parc Aventure Genève (with 5+ guests), Quiz Room and La Jessicotte.
Watch the price per extra child, from CHF 15 at the Château d'Aigle to CHF 65 at Servette FC, and check group minimums. Bringing your own cake sometimes saves money: Virtual Room charges CHF 42 instead of CHF 47 per child. Finally, compare: on KidsConfetti, one free request goes to up to 3 providers per category.
