Observation Deck B, located in the public area of Zurich Airport, offers excitement and fascination for aviation enthusiasts of all ages – even in winter – from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Watch the pilots in the cockpit or learn all about the aircraft and their destinations at the flight information displays. The Observation Deck B also features a “mini airport” playground and the Bistro Aviolino.

You can take a look behind the scenes on one of our exciting guided tours and bus tours for individual visitors. During the festive season, additional tours and rides are available.
