Hi Lucas,
Thanks for your valuable suggestion. Fixed my Zurich tour. Now need a few information for my next part of the trip. 8 August I will reaching to Lucerne and planning a visit to Mt. Pilatus. Done a little bit of research and thinking of taking the Golden Round Trip. Could you please suggest whether it is covered under Swiss Travel pass or not. If not, where to find the ticket charges for the same. I will be travelling with my 18 months old child. Is the trip pram friendly?
Thanks in advance

The Pilatus trip is 50% off with your Swiss Travel Pass. See here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/swisstravelpass/ validity
The boat trip is free but the train and/or gondola to the mountain is 50% off. You can find all ticket prices using the Swiss railways timetable here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable (the first price you get is the 1/2 fare price so double it for the regular price).
Is your baby stroller fold-able? That will save you a lot of trouble.

You could spend the afternoon taking a couple of tram rides around Zurich.
There’s even a tram from the airport.
You’ll see everyday people doing everyday things. And get the “feel” of everyday Zurich.
And there’s plenty of cafes where you can stop off to enjoy a coffee and cake, etc. Especially if you’re in the suburbs away from the “standard” tourist (hack?) spots you’ll enjoy the experience.
You could also include a short lake cruise in the itinerary.
I might be a little different to most but I enjoy people watching and experiencing the cities I visit “with the locals” either on public transport or walking.
Just a thought but whatever; enjoy your travels!
