5.0 Gold Elephant (2 reviews)
- Best massage in Zug
Spent 1-2 hours Spas

Almost hesitant to give a review as it is a hidden gem! I just left my physio appointment and did not feel entirely pain free as I had expected after 6 sessions, when I spotted the Gold Elephant. I walked in and was greeted by the lovely Bea. She was warm and friendly and able to quickly offer me a walk in slot for what was initially just a full body scrub. I usually have difficulty finding a masseurs' or wellness therapist that really gives a good body scrub in Zurich..they always too scared to actually scrub you or never really do the entire body. With Bea it was a true experience of being scrubbed with firm pressure and certainly not for wimps. She offered me a sauna session beforehand. In the end I was feeling so relaxed she offered me a complimentary back massage, this was so amazing I decided to book another almost immediately. in 90 minutes she manage to work on several places that my physio has overlooked for weeks. I felt so good walking out with the knowledge I found a wonderful place that offered a truly wonderful relaxation experience as well as an real medical massage catering to the needs of my backache. Thank you Bea! See more..

- Sit back, relax and enjoy the views
Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Boat Tours • Ferries

If you want a short boat trip, this is definitely the one to do. It takes 1.5 half hours for the full trip, however, another way is to only do part of the trip and walk the rest. We walked from Morgarten to Unterägeri which is off road and through a nice cooling forest and then took the boat in Unteräger back to Morgarten. There is a restaurant on board offering small meals, coffees, wines etc. See more..
4.5 Museum Burg Zug (69 reviews)
- Great afternoon out with the family

THIS IS HOW HISTORY CAN BE FUN! Highlights from the cultural history of Zug are presented in the theme rooms. Room follows room like a string of pearls, and you can immerse yourself in your own universe in every room. It goes without saying that suits of armour and halberds will also be shown, but that's not all by far. Visitors can immerse themselves in the past, from atmospheric scenarios up to an explosive love affair. On the basis of collection objects, interactive stations and short texts, both the young and the old can learn lots of interesting facts about the lives of people in Zug over the last five hundred years. The popular model of the city not only shows the development of the city up to 1730 - it can then be followed virtually up to the year 2013 on a touch screen. The ensemble rooms let us experience industry as our grandfathers and great-grandfathers knew it. An the multimedia stations offer further information for those who are interested in a little more background. The youngest guests are also not forgotten: The comic figure Lili guides them through the rooms with questions appropriate to their age. A wide selection of tours and workshops for all ages promises hours of excitement. See more..
4.5 Strandbad Zug (68 reviews)
- Great food, good atmosphere, friendly and clean.
Spent More than 3 hours Beach & Pool Clubs

Fenced area with a long changing area split in two that is clean. The area is small but has two main areas to relax on the grass. It has a small beach area and good swimming area. The area was also very clean and tidy. The food was very good and a selection of fast food was available and quick. Service with a smile and very little to fault, only the size, but Zug is not really a beach side town. See more..

4.5 Bloodhound Missile Station (5 reviews)
- Very interesting, but too long
Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums

We went there as a family and I really found it interesting and unexpected. However, it was quite long ( 2 1/2 hours) and there was no option to do it on your own. I would much prefer if this was a self guided tour that you do at your own pace. Also, this is in German only. A self guided tour would make it easier to have it in English and French as well.

4.0 Bossard Arena (2 reviews)
- Bossard Arena = EVZ
Spent 2-3 hours Arenas & Stadiums

Wie es sich gehört - man besucht das Stadion für einen Match vom EVZ.
Wir finden das Stadion optisch von aussen sehr schön, mit dem grosse Platz, der Terrasse der 67 SIXTYSEVEN SPORTSBAR und in der kälteren Jahreszeit der Eiskunstbahn vor dem Stadion.
Innen ist es ein "normales" Stadion mit (beim Match) guter Beleuchtung und viel Werbung. Bei den Toiletten wie auch bei den Essständen bilden sich längere Schlangen - auch nicht unüblich bei grösseren Veranstaltungen mit +/- 6000 Besuchern.
Was wir als störend empfanden, war der Raclette/Käsegeschmack, welcher von den Essständen bis in die Sitzreihen vorgedrungen ist.
Die Lage des Stadions ist ideal gelegen, Bushaltestelle vor der Haustüren, Bahnhof in kurzer Fussdistanz erreichbar, Parkplätze/Tiefgarage in der Nähe und auch der See mit seiner schönen Promenade ist nah.
Wenn man nicht in die 67 SIXTYSEVEN SPORTSBAR essen gehen möchte, gibt es in der Nähe auch andere Möglichkeiten. See more..
