Jungfraujoch is a must-visit if you're in Interlaken...or Zurich even! My first trip to Zurich was in February several years ago, I took a bus to Interlaken and 2 trains (Grindelwald, and Jungfraujoch) - it's not complicated. It's an easy day trip from Zurich, and a half a day trip if you're already in Interlaken. From Interlaken Ost, it's a train ride to Grindelwald, a gondola ride to Eigergletscher via Eiger Express then a train ride to Jungfraujoch.
Traveling in the spring can be unpredictable. Sometimes it's raining all day, it could snow, it could be extremely foggy. Your hotel in Interlaken has a channel where you can watch the live cam of Jungfraujoch so you can see if it's worth going or not. It's almost always foggy early in the morning during spring but it clears out by around 10am...sometimes, it doesn't.
Once you get off the Jungfraujoch station, you can read information about the place. How the place keeps getting warmer due to climate change. The Research Station Jungfraujoch is the highest in Europe and in the world. Elevation is over 11,000 feet above sea level. There are movies/ shows that were filmed here. So, it gets pretty crowded.
You have to go to the Sphinx Observatory where you can see the Alps and Aletsch Glacier from outside. On a clear day, you can see Germany and France. You can walk in the snow.
There's a cafe, a Lindt store and a gift shop. You'll see some cute ice sculptures.
