With a fantastic view over Lake Geneva, the Signal de Bougy family park includes a model farm, a mini golf course and daily entertainment.
Belonging to Swiss supermarket chain Migros, this massive outdoor space provides fresh air and greenery for all. In an area where both commodities are pretty easy to come by, Signal de Bougy keeps the visitors coming back with its amazing vista of the lake and the Alps. See if you can spot Geneva's famous Jet d'Eau, Europe's highest water fountain.
A terrace restaurant caters to view-seekers, but the real entertainment can be found in the model farm, where baby animals can be fed and petted. An organic bakery serves delicious newly-baked loaves. The more active can take on the notorious mini-golf course, where the final hole involves launching the ball over a stream using a ramp - needless to say, trousers often need to be rolled up after a bad shot.
Weather permitting, the amphitheatre hosts two shows a day. A family entertainer takes the stage at 3pm and there is a concert every evening at 6pm.
