FIFA Museum in Zurich

Posted by on

We are planning a trip to Munich and Wengen in June and are flying back home from Zurich. We are going to be in Zurich for one night and of course the first day we are there is a Monday and the museum is closed. Our flight out is at 2:05 PM Tuesday June 18. I am wondering if it would be feasible for either my spouse or myself to take our 11 year old to the museum right when they open at 10 am and still get to the airport in time for our flight.

I saw one thing online that recommended 2 hours in the museum, but we'd likely have 1 hour, maybe 1 hour and 15 minutes before having to get to the airport. Do you think that is feasible and would be able to enjoy the museum enough? The other adult and the 18 year old daughter would meet them at the airport with all of the luggage to be ready to go. These 2 could get in line at the security checkpoint if there is a long line.

Since it's FIFA, the appropriate bribe will get you anything you want (sorry couldn't resist)

There is a direct S-Bahn to Zurich airport at 6 past the hour and takes 18 minutes from Zurich Enge station, right outside the FIFA Museum. Prepurchase your train tickets at the station about 9:30 am, 7 CHF for the adult and 3.50 CHF for the 11 yo. Scope out exactly where platform 2 is located and how to get there. Then be waiting in line when the museum opens. You have 1 hour before you have to leave and get the S-Bahn to the airport. The train leaves at 11:06 and that will get you to the airport at 11:24. Assume you will already have your boarding passes. You should make it to the security line by 11:30, which should be good enough.
