How much are tickets for kids?

Children up to their 9th birthday get in free. On Monday's Family Day, teens under 16 pay CHF 17 in advance or CHF 22 at the box office. An adult afternoon ticket starts at CHF 43, and the ticket page lists day tickets and three-day Festival Passes.

Is it a good fit for younger kids?

Under 9s go free, but the halls are big and busy. Kids who already love games, anime or comics get the most out of it.
