Lots of luxury hotels are located around the thermal area by the river. Many hotels have private thermal baths. And you should go!
Children's museum
There is Children's museum, KinderMuseum (http://www.kindermuseum.ch). Could be an interesting activity for children.
swim
During the summer, walk along the beautiful Limmat river. It is recommended to go for a swim on sunny days when the current is not too strong, however, be wary of the nearby dams. There should be warning signs if it is too close to a dam, but to be sure, you'll know it's a safe area if there are many locals nearby swimming as well.
