In 2015 children ages four to 11 can travel for free when accompanied by on adult on Eurail Global, Eurail Select, Regional Eurail and One-Country Eurail passes. Eurail has 25 pass options and has unlimited rail travel in up to 28 countries.
Traveling in Switzerland with kids is simple with the Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Family Card, which enables children from six to 15 to travel free when with a parent or guardian. Passengers should ask for the Swiss Family Card at the time of booking (the card is free).
In Germany, the German Rail Pass will allow two kids ages six to 11 a free ride when with an adult.
There are several British rail passes to help with travel in England. The BritRail Family Pass lets two children (ages six to 11) to ride free with an adult. On other BritRail products one child from five to 15 years of age can ride with an adult for free, and additional children, in the same age range, can get a reduced rate. This applies when using a BritRail Pass, a BritRail England Pass, and a BritRail South West Pass.
