Large selection of play equipment suitable for a range of ages. Right on the lakeside so some ducks visited while we sat on a bench. Has a water tap to refill your bottle. Only a couple of minutes walk from Cisano ferry arrival point and you can follow the coastal path up to Bardolino in less than half an hour.

Definitely worth doing to see around the city from the perspective of the canal with explanations of points of interest. There are loads of these tour boats going around and they all seem to be the same setup. Buy a ticket, wait in a queue for the next boat, fill the boat and tour for 30 minutes. Explanations on our boat were French and English. It can be hard to hear the guide if you are near the back because of the engine noise. Reduced price for kids.

Friendly place in the centre. Recommend the ribs which were falling off the bone and coated in a tasty sauce. Good fries. The breaded chicken in the salad was a bit too fried. For dessert, the sundae with Rose biscuit of Reims was good to share. Kid friendly.

Huge park with attractions to please everyone. Our kids enjoyed exploring by scooter. We found a couple of play parks, visited the island on remembrance and had a picnic by the lake. After lunch we were surprised to learn that the zoo is free. There is also a beautiful botanic garden. We didn't have time to take a boat on the lake, ride the little train or do any of the other activities we spotted. Would definitely go back when next in Lyon.

Delicious food in a friendly setting with a very well priced lunch menu. Recommend the refreshing Porto Tonico to drink. Good wine options. Mackerel fish cakes were very tasty. Really liked the curried garnish with the haggis bonbons. The trout on a bed of crab pasta was a highlight. The confit duck was rich and satisfying. Keen to visit again and try more of the menu items. Need to save room for dessert next time.
