Zurich family club offers 'time out' for mums

It's always difficult when you move to a city to find like-minded people to mingle with as there is no easy central point for your community.

However, in Zurich, Wild Tiere Family Club aims to bridge that communal gap by providing a gorgeously designed place for the kiddies to play and for mums to bond over a coffee or glass of wine.

The club has recently been launched by Stephanie, from England, and Irene from Zurich. They are very enthusiastic about their venture and keen to create a home from home for families with as many services as they can under one roof. With German classes and creche facilities available, it is especially helpful for English speaking mums who have just moved to the city with their tots (the club caters for babies and children up to 5 years) and need help getting to grips with their new lives.

The central location (on the No. 6 'Zurich Zoo' tramline, right next to Kirche Fluntern stop but there is plenty of room for parking nearby) means costs are high for the owners so members will need to pay an annual membership fee of Chf 1,200 (Chf100 per month)

This brings unlimited access to the club which is open every day - even on Sundays from 10am to 2pm - and discounts on a variety of services, such as hair cuts for kids (with Pingu on TV!) manicures, pedicures, waxing and massage, Pilates, in specially dedicated rooms. There is a free kids disco on Wednesday afternoons and kids ballet and yoga sessions and lots of special events throughout the year – next up is an Easter Brunch & Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Monday.

In addition, the stylish cafe provides locally sourced healthy food and a wide selection of tea, coffee and wine.

And you get to try it all out for free! To book your day's trial call Stephanie on: 078 740 0337 (email stephanie@wilde-tiere.com) or Irene on: 076 564 4936 (irene@wilde-tiere.com)
