Review & FAQ:

This unusual attraction combines geological science with a bit of history. The Glacier Garden of Lucerne sits next to Lucerne’s Lion Monument and surrounds a pothole that dates back to the Ice Age. Now, visitors can marvel at the gorgeous vistas below after climbing up an observation tower overlooking the potholes carved by glaciers. The museum also showcases a restored traditional Swiss cabin with impressive woodwork and period furniture exhibit. The Hall of Mirrors, dating from 1896, has become a favorite, confounding visitors as they try to navigate their way through the maze. The Swiss Rail Pass comes with free entry into the Glacier Garden.
