• Train, then a walk: S1 from Basel SBB to Kaiseraugst (not Salina Raurica), then about 15 minutes on foot or bus 72
• Barbecue pits in the amphitheater and by the Schönbühl temple, bring your own wood; the LUCI buvette at the theater opens daily April to October
• Hands-on Roman house where kids can touch the everyday objects, though its large dining room is currently closed

Augusta Raurica is the excavated Roman town at Augst, with more than twenty monuments to view, walk on or touch. Kids can sit in the best-preserved Roman theater north of the Alps, stand inside a Roman sewer channel and explore a furnished Roman house modeled on a Pompeii villa.

The museum puts some finds at kid eye level, and the animal park keeps breeds similar to Roman farm animals.
