Introduction

Mystery Park is an Interlaken theme park devoted to the world's ancient enigmas, created by Swiss author Erich von Daniken of ancient-astronaut fame and opened in 2003, later continuing under the name Jungfrau Park. A series of themed pavilions tackles the pyramids, the Maya calendar, the Nazca lines and other puzzles through films, interactive displays and large-scale models, presenting bold hypotheses with theatrical flair. It is less a fairground than a playground of ideas about human civilisation. Mostly indoors, it suits rainy days and families, fills a half-day comfortably, and delights anyone partial to archaeology or the mysterious.
