If you are planning to be around for part of this summer and are looking for interesting ways to keep your kids busy with creative activities, fun outings, and educational workshops of all kinds, you may want to check out the Basler Ferienpass. This wonderful pass offers access to awesome summertime activities and excursions for children ages 6-16.

Children who have the Basler Ferienpass can participate for free or at reduced prices in over 120 different activities. With so much to choose from, there is surely something for everyone! The offers are divided into “Grundangebote” (basic offers) that are available anytime and “Kreativangebote” (creative offers) that only take place on certain dates and for which you need to register in advance. These offers may incur an additional small fee. You can already register online for all tours, workshops, and outings.

The Basic offers include free or reduced entries to leisure activities like museums; swimming pools; adventure rooms; escape rooms; activity centers like Freizeithalle Dreirosen, Virtual Arena Dreispitz, or Jump Factory Basel; as well as musical camps and much more.

Creative offers are supervised offers on specific dates that are carried out by Ferienpass partners and teams. There is a wide range of activities—from llama trekking, first aid, archery, baking, and breakdancing to theater, circus artistry, comic workshops, and programing a virtual robot. With these offers, you can keep your kids busy and active all summer while broadening their horizons and allowing them to learn new skills or blow off off some steam. Registration is required for the creative offers.

The Ferienpass this year is valid from June 28 to August 10, as well as during the autumn school holidays from September 29 to October 12.
