Rainy days in Zurich don’t have to mean boredom, restless children, or too much screen time. In fact, they can become some of the most memorable days with your little ones—days filled with discovery, laughter, and togetherness.

If you’re looking for indoor activities for kids in Zurich, Academicus offers a wide variety of engaging classes and family-friendly events that transform even the greyest days into bright opportunities for connection and learning.

Weekday Rainy Day Activities for Kids in Zurich

When the drizzle keeps you indoors during the week, Academicus provides enriching parent-and-child classes designed to support your child’s development while giving you time to bond.

✨ Sensory for Babies (0–12 months) Gentle, stimulating movement, music and Montessori wisdom, to help your baby explore textures, sounds, and the world around them—all designed to nurture healthy sensory development.

✨ Motoric Fun for Babies (0-6m) - this class supports your little one’s natural motor development in a safe, playful way.

✨ Sensory for Toddlers (1–3 years) For curious toddlers, these sessions encourage hands-on discovery while helping them develop independence and creativity.

And for families looking to encourage early social skills and independence, our weekday morning playgroups are a wonderful option. Available in English or Polish, these child-only mornings prepare pre-kindergarten children for their first steps toward independence, while helping them develop language and confidence.
