What makes it 68% Kids-Friendly: Children aged 6–12 get discounted tickets, quiz sheets, and space to run outside, making a worthwhile learning stop; yet security lines, 2 km walk, and few playful exhibits may cause fatigue.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time for the guided tour, park play and snack breaks with kids.
Guided Palais des Nations tour:
Walk through the Assembly Hall and Council Chamber with a kid-friendly guide.
Tip: Book tickets online to secure a slot and ask for a shorter route if your younger child tires.
Ariana Park picnic and play:
Let kids run on open lawns under the flags along the lakefront.
Tip: Bring a blanket and packed snacks to enjoy by the Broken Chair sculpture.
Alley of Flags photo stop:
Snap colorful shots along the 600 m flag-lined avenue.
Tip: Visit in the morning for softer light and fewer visitors.
Youth activity pack:
Pick up free UN-themed worksheets and quiz sheets at the Visitors Service.
Tip: Collect these before the tour to keep children engaged during the walk.
Serpent Bar snack break:
Taste fair-trade snacks and drinks in a lake-view cafeteria.
Tip: Stop here after the tour to refuel; kids love the organic hot chocolate.

Lovely grounds and highly recommend the shop. The stamp counter assistant was most helpful and very knowledgeable. Not clear where to queue. Despite having bought a ticket online, I still had to queue to get the ticket validated. This was not made clear in the email. Glad I arrived early to go through all the formalities.

I booked the visit, 24chf, learnt so many things about the UN. We were lucky it was a clear so we able to enjoy the view to Mont Blanc.

I visited the UN headquarters in Geneva and really enjoyed the group tour. Walking through the big halls, especially the Assembly Hall and Human Rights Council Chamber, was fascinating. It felt special to stand in the rooms where so many important discussions actually happen.

I went on a tour! I thought it was okej, the tour in it self was not that special it was rather being there that was cool. (My gf really liked it tho she thought the tour guide was so good). Con- we where on time but the tour was not which meant we had to wait in the heat when we was there on time. Also i wish the tourguie would say when we can take photos cause sometimes it was lite unclear espe...

How stupid can they be? Imagine you have a beautiful art deco building, but then you build such an ugly fence that it can hardly be seen anymore. Could that be a typical result of an overrated, overfunded overpaid underbrained stuffy organisation? We had booked a tour a few months before and the process of getting the security passes was terrible. We just got inside one of the ugly 1960s building...
In summer, apply sunscreen and bring hats. In rain, focus on indoor tour spaces. In winter, dress in layers and warm gloves for the park.
