Amusement parks in Paris

Disneyland Paris needs no introduction. A family trip to Paris for sure has Disneyland amusement park on its itinerary. Bring back your memories of childhood and dance with Mickey and Minnie.

Get ready for a roller coaster of a ride. Literally!

If you want to stay in Paris, the Jardin d’Acclimatation is a good option for families with children: rides, playgrounds and shows. Eventful and action packed for sure.

Nature and science for children in Paris

Work the curiosity of your kids by taking them to the Cité des Sciences or the Science and Industry Museum. This museum offers dedicated scientific exhibitions for children: Interactive and Informative.

For animal lovers, the Paris Zoo is magnificent with nearly 180 species and more than 2,000 animals, offering you a real world tour of biodiversity of Africa, Patagonia, Amazonia and Europe. 

And if you particularly like fish, lose track of time at the Paris aquarium with its shark tunnel, fish touch pool and many more.

Cultural Exploration for Children

Walking around the museum can be boring conventionally. To remedy this and stimulate the interest for general culture from an early age, tours have been specially designed. Discover the Louvre with your family and take a selfie with MonaLisa, start on interactive guided tours of the city or a fun visit to the Paris Opera: options are plenty. The Natural History Museum, with its modern charm, is also a wonderful place to discover, especially for its discovery gallery and life-size animals. At the door of the museum, you find  the Garden of Paris, a magnificent playground for children and a wonderful tropical greenhouse.

One of the modern day treats is Atelier des Lumières. The digital dissemination of paintings on gigantic surfaces with moving imagery takes young and old alike into the world of wonders.
