Five-hour layover with small children?

To give you an idea of the size of this main room, this photo was taken from just beyond the middle of the room. The changing stations are behind me. The smaller playroom is in the background. At the very left edge of the photo is the door to the room with the cribs and chairs for nursing. That's a clock over the entrance to the other room. | ||||||||||||||||||||

This shows the computer touch screen (set in a yellow house-like box), the standing strategy game and in the foreground, the dollhouse (also visible in the photo above). | ||||||||||||||||||||

There are children's facilities all over.I plan on making it a habit to search out these nurseries in every airport I vist from now on. I was going to compile a list of airports with children's facilities, but a search on Google turned up 6,710 hits! In other words, Zurich is hardly the exception. But I should mention that when I did a search for airport "children's play" (meaning I entered in all three words, but put quotes around the last two to search for them as a phrase), I got significantly more hits than when I did a search for airport "children's facilities", so you may have to fiddle with your search string a bit when you look. Of the parents I met at the nursery in Zurich, everyone had found the place by chance. My son and I spent about four hours in that nursery. Rather than have a long, boring, exhausting layover, he was happy and cheerful, singing to himself while waiting at the gate, even though at that point, he'd been up about eight hours. And I was relaxed and happy, too! |
