Experiences in Aarau

Aarau is home to a special place of cultural interest consisting of a unique construction from the perspective of technology and industrial history: the Meyerschen Stollen, an underground water collecting system dating from the early 19th century.

This art museum, extended by architects Herzog & de Meuron in 2003, houses Swiss art dating from the 18th century to the present day.

The Aargau Jura Park is the home of Perimuk the Jura dinosaur. He’s called that because his outline looks like the perimeter of the Aargau Jura Park (how it appears on a map). He takes families on four different exciting adventures: the Perimuk trails.

At the Roggenhausen Wildlife Park you can observe rabbits, ponies, goats, sheep, wild boar, deer, ibex and many other animals from up close.

Aarau combines history, nature and culture in a number of different ways. The city offers a wide range of family-friendly activities. From historical journeys of discovery to relaxing hours spent on the River Aare or interactive museum visits – there’s plenty to experience here for children and adults alike.
