10 days in Switzerland
 
Hello

We plan to spend ten days in Switzerland with our toddler .

Can someone share the places that we can do . We r planning Lucerne and last two days in Zurich.

Also any tips for toddler food. Especially considering we are vegetarians

Most restaurants include at least one, if not two, vegetarian options...usually pasta-based.
In Zurich, a WONDERFUL vegetarian rest is Hiltl.
Do you eat fish? That will be an option around Lucerne of course.
Roesti is a swiss dish of shredded potatoes, can be served with cheese, egg or bacon.

Trains are great and if traveling around much at all a Swiss Pass could be the ticket to ride -good sources for info on trains and passes - www.sbb.ch (official site of Swiss Railways); www.swisstravelsystem.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com (check out their online rail guide that has a chapter on Switzerland and where to go) and www.ricksteves.com.

Tibits is another vegetarian chain of restaurants and there is one in Lucerne at Bahnhofplatz (near main train station).

Larger Migros and Coop stores often have cafeterias where you can just eat anything you want -for Switzerland a great price.

1. Tierpark in Goldau: a nice park with deer roaming around among the forest dotted with boulders from the 1806 landslide. Wolves, bears and other animals can be seen there too.

2. Rapperswil zoo is also a nice thing to do with toddlers.

Swiss Transport Museum in Lucerne is great for kids - great for kids of all ages.

The local public bathing areas are fun too. Lucerne has a nice one on the lake near the transport museum.

Leaving the toddler with the grandparents before you leave for your vacation is also a great thing to do with toddlers.

Yes a toddler may be a bit much for grandparents.
