What you need to know
- Mascots three days a week: Bori and Tsapé, the Swiss-Ski mascot, pose for photos and high fives on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm to 4pm
- Telescope on weekdays only: the explorer's telescope on the terrace runs Monday to Friday until 6pm, so a weekday visit gets you more
- Wish letters for Christmas: kids write a wish on a Lindt letter on site and post it in the Lindt letterbox, and three wishes will come true
About
Polarzauber fills the main hall of Zurich's main station with what it bills as Switzerland's largest indoor Christmas market: craft and food stalls, mulled wine and a kids' program all season. Kids watch the Lindt Christmas train circle the big tree, dance at the kids' disco and make crafts to take home. Being indoors makes it an easy stop on a cold day or between trains.
