Paris for kids

There's lots of things to do with kids in Paris.
Here's our list of activities:

Visit the Louvre

Take the kids to see the Mona Lisa, and then the Egyptian mummies exhibition.

Visit the Tuileries Garden next to the Louvre

There's a playground (probably suiting children from 4 to 8 years old), and also some in-ground trampolines where you can pay to let your kids jump around.

Go down to the Catacombs

A bit spooky, probably one for the older kids. Boys would probably get a particularly big buzz from it.

Go up the Eiffel Tower

While the queues can be a bit off putting, it's worth it. Your kids should really enjoy going up the glass lifts, and the birds-eye view from the top.

Visit the Luxembourg Gardens

Hire some miniature wooden sailboats at the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens and let your kids play for just 3 Euro 10 cents for an hour!

On Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 3:15pm, Wednesday 3:15pm and school holidays, they have marionette shows at the Theatre du Luxembourg which is also in the gardens. Costs about 3 Euro.

Bus tour of Paris

Take you kids on the various Hop-on-Hop-Off roofless double decker buses.

Boat down the Seine

You can get some really affordable boat cruises for around only 8 Euro (adult) for about a 1 hour Seine cruise. It's great value, and the kids will get a kick out of it.
