What to do today as a family? With baby, with toddlers… Here you will find ideas for outings in Paris for children aged 3, 4 or 5. And also, suggestions for shows with a baby, with children from 0 to 3 years old and for older children from 4 to 6 years old. Outdoor children’s or toddler activities for sunny days or children’s activities for rainy or cold days.
Whether it’s sunny or chilly, pony rides are always on the rise with toddlers. Guignol hasn’t aged a bit and still amuses (or scares) children. Most of Guignol’s shows are programmed in small theatres (you can go there whatever the weather). And from spring or when the weather is very good, some Guignol perform outdoors. Going to see animals remains one of their favorite outings: the zoological park of Paris, the Menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes or more originally, the dairy elder farm located in the 94. The gathered farms generally cover their doors to the public in the spring. It is an activity that attracts more and more families.
