FunPlanet Kids Rennaz and FunPlanet Bulle:

Finally, don't miss FunPlanet Kids Rennaz and FunPlanet Bulle, the leisure centers in the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg for "big" kids (aged 3 to 12), offering a multitude of activities for children from bowling to mini golf and laser tag. These places offer a safe and fun environment for children, where they can release their energy and have fun at the same time.

Vallorbe caves:

Located just 6 km from the French border, the Vallorbe Caves hold the title of Switzerland's largest caves. These natural wonders, sculpted by the L'Orbe river, house a geological enchantment of stalactites, stalagmites and limestone columns. Sublimated by the play of light, these caves are considered one of the most spectacular geological gems in Switzerland and Europe.

The Vallorbe caves, one of the most famous leisure attractions in the Yverdon-les-Bains region, are a must-see. The lighting enhances the geological wealth and creates an almost magical atmosphere. Far from the silence one might expect from an underground gallery, the atmosphere is punctuated by the roar of the river before giving way to the gentle murmur of water trickling down the walls.
