✨Summer Saturday Sensory Walk in Oerlikon✨
Explore, observe, and awaken the senses — together.
During our “Through the Senses” theme at Children First Play School, we turned our outings into outdoor sensory scavenger hunts. By searching for specific sights, sounds, and textures, our children sharpened their observation and listening skills — all through the power of play. 🌿👂👀

🌞 Try it with your family this summer!
Here’s a beautiful route in Zürich to explore:
📍 Start at Milchbuck tram stop (Tram 10 — currently runs from Tiefenbrunnen to Oerlikon due to Hauptbahnhof construction).�🌳 Walk up the hill to Irchel Park�➡️ Curve right and listen for birds in the trees�🦋 Touch soft grass, look for butterflies, and listen for buzzing dragonflies�👣 Climb the big hill to the lookout point�🐷 Walk down a bit to smell the pigs near the animal area

♿️ With a stroller?
Head back the way you came after visiting the pigs.�🚶 On foot? Take the scenic route through the University of Zürich Irchel campus (avoid construction at the back).
🐸 On your way, stop at the pond and listen for frogs!

🍒 End your walk with a market stop:
Hop back on Tram 10 and get off at Sternen Oerlikon — just in time for the Saturday market (open til 12pm).
✨ Taste juicy, sweet fruit�🧀 Sample savoury olives and cheese�🌸 Smell fresh flowers�🥗 Pick up veggies for a crisp salad later

A sensory adventure for the whole family — right in the heart of Zürich.
