Questions
At 3 years old, choose interactive places such as the Cité des Enfants (2-7 years old) or the Children’s Philharmonic, which solicit the senses and motor skills. Storytelling visits to museums for toddlers, such as the Louvre or the Musée de Cluny, are also great to captivate their attention without tiring them. Finally, aquariums are places that always appeal to children, even young ones.
To stay dry, the Aquarium de Paris or the Grande Galerie de l’Évolution are outings suitable for the little ones. You can also opt for an immersive experience such as Noah’s World or attend a puppet show or a show for young audiences in the many covered theatres of the capital.
The playgrounds with slides, swings, ariagnées etc… And also the zoological parks and aquarium, the merry-go-rounds, Guignol…
The Jardin du Luxembourg remains a must-see with its pony rides and its famous puppet theatre. The Jardin d’Acclimatation, although not free, is a paradise for the little ones with its merry-go-rounds and zoo. For a breathtaking view and picturesque trails, the Buttes-Chaumont park is also very popular with families.
The dragon garden at La Villette: with its huge slide in the shape of a dragon. The Parc André Citroën: for its tethered balloon and fountains. The banks of the Seine.
For the first time, short musical shows (45 minutes) or interactive tales are safe bets to maintain concentration. Specialized theaters such as Le Lucernaire, l’Essaïon or the Péniche Antipode offer a varied program (Little Red Riding Hood, The Secret Life of the Doudous) perfectly adapted to 3-6 year olds.
Parks and gardens with playgrounds, crazy musical shows, small plays adapted to very young audiences, puppet theatre…
Yes, Paris is full of free activities! You can take your children to the Paris farm in the Bois de Vincennes to discover the animals, or enjoy the original playgrounds such as the dragon garden at La Villette. The municipal libraries also regularly offer free “Story Hours”.
What to do today in Paris with your family? The offer to go out in Paris with a baby, with toddlers is very vast… Here you will find ideas for children’s activities for children from 3 years old, 4 years old or 5 years old. 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 activities for sunny days or children’s activities in museums 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.
