Paris activities for children<\/h2>\n\n

We understand that not all children like the same things.\nBut there are lots of different things to do in Paris.\nYou’ll have no trouble finding something your kids will love.\nAnd we haven’t forgotten about you either!\nHere are a few ideas for activities: <\/p>\n\n

Visit Disneyland Paris <\/h2>\n\n

Disneyland is an activity you won’t forget.\nThe park is huge and there’s enough to keep you busy for at least a day.\nThere’s something for all ages.\nIt’s worth remembering to get your Disneyland Paris tickets<\/a> as soon as possible if you’re booking a fixed date.\nThere are often crowds, and tickets sell out fast.\nAs far as accommodation is concerned, you can stay at Disney, in the surrounding area or in a hotel in Paris itself.\nThe park is easily accessible from Paris by RER. <\/p>\n\n

Going to the Cit\u00e9 des Sciences et de l’Industrie<\/h2>\n\n

This museum is located in the Parc de la Villette.\nHere you’ll find interactive exhibits for children of all ages.\nHead for the Cit\u00e9 des enfants to find an area designed especially for them, with plenty of activities to do.\nThe exhibits cover a wide range of subjects, from nature to technology<\/a>.\nThere’s an area for 2-7 year-olds and for 5-12 year-olds.\nIf you’re a parent who likes to see your child learn, this is perfect for you. <\/p>\n\n

An afternoon in the Jardin d’Acclimatation<\/h2>\n\n

This garden is located in the Bois de Boulogne near Paris.\nThere are rides, workshops and play areas.\nThere’s also a small zoo with animals.\nAs the park is outdoors, remember to bring weather-appropriate clothing.\nTo get from one side of the park to the other, you can hop aboard a small train that crosses the park.\nThere are also water attractions for hot weather. <\/p>\n\n

Enjoy a cruise on the Seine<\/h2>\n\n

This activity is great for seeing a lot of Paris without having to walk.\nYou can take a boat and see monuments from the water.\nAs younger children can’t always walk much, they’ll be able to see as much of Paris as possible more easily.\nThere are several companies offering these boat trips, with different offers. <\/p>\n\n

Relax in the plant garden<\/h2>\n\n

If you’ve spent a day sightseeing, it’s normal to be a little tired.\nAnd with children, understandably, it’s even worse.\nSometimes you need a little rest.\nThe Jardin des Plantes is perfect for that.\nIt’s very big and the garden is in the 5th arrondissement.\nThere’s also the Museum of Natural History next door, which is well worth a visit.\nIn the Jardin des Plantes, children can play, relax and have a picnic. <\/p>\n\n

See animals at the Vincennes Zoo<\/h2>\n\n

Have you ever seen a child who doesn’t like animals<\/a>?\nWe haven’t either!\nThis zoo has over 2,000 animals in environments that simulate their natural habitat.\nThere’s lots to see, so make a day of it.\nBe sure to bring water in summer, as it can get very hot and there isn’t always much shade. <\/p>\n\n
