Merian Gardens covers 18 hectares of gardens and organic farmland run by the Christoph Merian Foundation. Kids can visit the sheep, chickens and rabbits in the stables, spot frogs and dragonflies at the pond along the shady canal path, and look for beaver tooth marks on trees.

There is also a mill museum, an orchard with 300 fruit varieties, a historic iris collection and a rhododendron valley that blooms in spring.
