    We have booked Academicus four our daughter's first anniversary and the experience was fantastic ! Everyone loved the place, especially the little ones enjoyed the entire playground and the many toys at our disposal. For us the the entire handover process was easy and the team's instructions were helpful and straight forward. We will definitely repeat and recommend the experience!

    We have been to several birthday parties, Halloween and Christmas parties and loved it. The staff is super friendly and go the extra mile to make sure the kids are having fun. Its great to see big smiles on the kids faces after leaving Academicus.

    We found the space at Academicus magical for our family and our 2 year old daughter. The design and practicality of every corner is very well though of giving toddlers a wide variety of activities to choose from depending on their mood and interests. It is a top choice in the city center for kids events and birthday parties making it easy for the parents with the organization as well as ensuring a safe space for up to 15-20 active toddlers. The ladies running the place are extremely kind, very responsive and open to collaborate with the families. We are always looking forward for the next chance to join an activity or an event in the Academicus Atelier!

    My 3 y.o. son and I love Academicus. We have been going to various classes for almost 3 years. Our favorites have been baby and toddler sensory. The new mum courses were also so helpful when my son was first born. We love the free play and coffee meet ups too! Mags and team have created such a warm and welcoming environment. It's great to see my son show confidence and excitement in fun and educational classes. So grateful for this business and the community it fosters!

    With our 2 kids (3.5 and 9m old) we’ve joined both baby and sensory classes, themed parties, birthdays and other special events. We’ve all (big and small) enjoyed ourselves every time! Fun games, loads of positive interactions, stories, crafts, music! The sensory classes are particularly special - not only did I learn new ways to connect with my kids through music, crafts & well thought games, but also got Montessori tips and met a lovely community of parents. My little ones are also fascinated by the place itself - heartwarming, well organized, beautifully decorated, with games / activities for babies, toddlers, kids and last but not least - the owners ❤️. My kids adore Mags & Katie and their ways to fill up the room with positive vibes! Thank you for creating this wonderful space for families!

    Great place to take the kids to play. Lots of toys and smarter toys (puzzles etc). Easy to take it easy as a parent while the kids play.

    Katie and Megs are running the show here and I think they're doing a great job doing so. My daughter (3,5) loved the interactive reading session and the crafts afterward!

    We go to academious toddler playgroup and they are truly amazing, it is one of the few places my daughter loves to go there with no hesitation and everytime she comes back with very amazing handcrafted things. I am so happy I found academiscus and we keep going there for playgroup and different activities and was never disappointed. Thank you so much for providing parents with such an amazing place.

    This place is amazing. My daughter goes regularly to the Polish playgroup and kindergarten and loves it. She keeps asking me the whole week when is it the time to go to Academicus again and does not want to leave 😅 The classes are full of activities - signing, reading, dancing, arts and crafts, imaginative play and more. Thanks to the whole team for creating such a lovely place for kids!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Academicus! From the moment we walked through the door, it was clear that this place is not just a business; it's a community, a tribe, a home away from home for families in Zurich. We've been a part of the Academicus family for quite some time, attending music classes when my daughter was just a baby and later enjoying the sensory classes that added so much to her early development. Academicus is more than a space; it's a community hub, fostering connections among families in Zurich. And today's Elisa party was nothing short of magical! Mags, is a true gem. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm is infectious, creating an atmosphere of joy and sparkle. She has an incredible way of engaging with the children, making every moment special and memorable. I feel grateful to be a part of this community and can't recommend Academicus enough. Thank you, for your dedication and passion in making Academicus the incredible place it is!

    Fantastic party venue with great entertainment - managed to keep 16 kids aged between 2-5 entertained and having a fun time.

    Paradise for kids! Children love to attend the huge variety of courses that this place offers: the staff is extremely prepared and they can guide you in order to choose the offer that suit you the most. If you are looking for a place to celebrate the birthday of your little one, I kindly suggest you to take "Academicus"in consideration. All the people working here are very knowledgeble and they are always smiling.

    We celebrated my son’s 5th birthday party at Academicus and it was absolutely fantastic. Everything was great, the room size was ideal for our group, the soft play area is well organised and has lots of options. We had booked one hour of entertainment, and her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. The kids loved the « superhero academy » The kids were all so happy and had a lot of fun and I received really great feedback from the parents as well. We are very likely to organise birthdays again at Academicus in the future!

    Katie and Mags are geniuses when it comes to children's events. We recently held my son's 6th birthday party at Academicus, Katie and Mags entertained 12 young children effortlessly, with rave reviews from the attendees: 'Sebastian didn't want to go home' 'Lavinia wanted to have Jack's party again tomorrow' 'Tom gave it a 10/10' I would highly recommend Academicus for party, camp, or classes!

    The Atelier is a magical place for both children and parents, with a soft play area for babies, tables with crafts and an area, where older kids can focus on puzzles and have some down-time with books. We have been coming to Academicus ever since we moved to Zurich - in fact, I made my first friends through the activities we attended here. We started with Sensory for Babies (SUCH a great class for anyone who has a baby and is looking for ways to interact with them in a meaningful way!), moved on to Sensory for Toddlers and now my child is attending the Playgroup mornings - and he loves them! Happy child = Happy me!

    Mags and the Academicus team do an amazing job providing the kids with joyful and engaging activities in an always magical, beautifully decorated environment. She and the crew use Montessori-inspired techniques to engage the children in games filled with movement, music, and sounds they can make themselves with a variety of small, safe percussion instruments. There are plenty of visually catchy, sparkly wands and other toys. It's very sensory and thus delightful for kids, who love trying out all the things offered to do. There's lots of arts and crafts, too. And the team provides coffee, tea and nibbles for sometimes weary but always cheerful parents.
