La Cite des Enfants

About

The La Cite des Enfants is a vibrant, interactive science museum dedicated to igniting curiosity in children aged 0‑10. Nestled within the larger Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris, it offers two specialized spaces: a 2‑7 year sandbox still under renovation, and a brand‑new 5‑10 year dynamic area featuring immersive labs, playful experiments, and themed play zones. Visitors can explore the Planetarium, the historic submarine L’Argonaute, and a rotating selection of temporary exhibits that cover topics from astronomy to engineering. With clear signage, free audio guides, and a welcoming café, the museum provides a seamless experience for families, schools, and curious explorers alike. Whether it’s discovering how magnets work or building a simple rocket, every child leaves with a spark of scientific wonder. The museum operates Monday‑to‑Sunday, welcoming visitors from 9:15 am each weekday and 9:15 am to 7:00 pm every Sunday. Many sessions—such as the 5‑10 year workshops—are offered throughout the week, with reservations strongly recommended during peak season. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the official site or contact the museum directly.
