Glacier Garden Lucerne (Gletschergarten)
Built around a glacial pothole from the last glacial period, Glacier Garden Lucerne (Gletschergarten) outlines the town's history. Fossilized mussels and palm leaves tell the story of how the area sits on what was a subtropical beach 20 million years ago. A multimedia show and interactive exhibits recap the history of the planet and the city itself. View the oldest large-scale mountain relief in the world. Explore the surrounding park with its walking paths and plants from different periods. On you way, notice different versions of yourself when you pass through the mirror maze, and then climb the observation tower for a panoramic view of the city.

An interesting tourist attraction located right next to the famous Lion Monument, and definitely, a must-visit if you're visiting the monument. There is free entry for Swiss Travel Pass holders, otherwise you need to pay an entrance fee. The garden itself is quite huge, consistent of several different sections, including remnants of the glacier rocks that shaped Switzerland many years ago and a relaxing walk around greenery. Our favourite was the Mirror Maze, which was quite fun and interesting. The garden is also quite tourist friendly with many English information boards that teaches you the relationship we have we glaciers. Enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it.

Wonderful tourist attraction. It is certainly worth a visit. You will not only learn a lot about how the glaciers helped form the geography of Switzerland, but you will have a great time as well! We loved the Labyrinth, and the tour through time!
