Trip into history
Very nice environment and very well presented also for kids. We were there in the morning but already some kids were involved in Roman games. The site is extremely well kept and gives a good idea about a Roman city and his inhabitants

Nice Roman Ruins
If you're already in the area, this is a nice place to stop and see Roman ruins in Switzerland. It doesn't compare to ruins in Mediterranean countries but still provides a sense of what life was like for Romans living in this part of the world. The silver artifacts they have on display are unique and well worth seeing.
