Recommendation to buy Swiss pass or Half Fare card

My family(wife & 2 kids under 16) will be traveling to Zurich Airport and will head directly to Interlaken and going to visit Jungfraujoch and back in Zurich. Total trip is 4 days. We plan to stay in Interlaken area for 2 nights and 1 night in Zurich. I am not sure if going to jungfraujoch from interlaken is covered under swiss pass. Therefore asking if Half fare card will be better option. Thanks in advance for the help

Jungfraujoch is only covered by the Swiss Travel Pass to the extent that you get a 25% discount above Wengen or Grindelwald, meaning it will cost 150 CHF for adults. With the STP you can get the free Family Card and the kids under 16 travel with you for free.

With the Half Fare Card you can also get the free Family Card and the kids will travel with you free. Then it will be 112 CHF from Interlaken Ost round trip for adults and free for the kids. In addition the HFC gives half off the tickets from Zurich to Interlaken Ost. Take a little extra time and go via Luzern for a scenic route and a slightly lower price.
