Kindermuseum
If you are travelling with children then this museum could be an interesting option.
Holzbrücke
This is the fifth iteration of the bridge. The first one was constructed in the 13th century.
If you are an avid hiker you should go for this tour. It takes around 4 to 6 hours to do the 13 km all the way to Dielsdorf, but it is also possible to descend earlier towards Wettingen. You will be rewarded with views to the alps and the black forest in Germany. Proper shoes are important. Take a train/bus back from Dielsdorf to Baden. A gpx track can be found in the link to the MySwitzerland website. The start of the trail is close to the wooden bridge.
Historisches Museum & Landvogteischloss
The museum gives a full historical overview about the baths and industry, that shaped the town. The museum is housed in a castle, which was used, among other things, as a school, hospital and prison before the museum moved in 1913.
Most Saturday mornings there is a local food market (Farmers Market) in Weitergasse and sometimes special events (e.g. cultural or sports activities or special markets) go on in front of the Train Station (Bahnhofplatz- Badstrasse)
Löwenbrunnen
The fountain was created in 1822 and was frequently remodelled.
