Janus at the Bioparc

Kids

Bioparc

The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum. Each head of this male tortoise has its own independent brain, which sometimes makes its movements challenging. In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.

Become a Street Celebrity

Kids

Musée de Carouge

Imagine walking from the exhibition into a workshop where you dream up how to become famous and see your name on a street plaque. Children sketch bright ideas, cut colorful collage pieces, and stick them onto a cardboard plaque. They paint letters, add textures, and play with shapes and sounds as they personalise their mini street sign. The result is a small ‘success panel’ to hang on a wall and a lively collage celebrating their future fame.

In French. Kids ages 7–12.

Shadows at Play

Kids

Théâtre des Marionnettes

Two performers play a mischievous game between bodies and shadows. Shadows break free from their models, change shape, defy physics, and perform surprising tricks. Bodies become shadows and shadows take form; performers appear and vanish. With three white sheets, a few objects and flashlight melodies, children are invited into a whimsical world of light, movement and music where imagination takes flight.

Kids ages 4 and up.
