Cité des Enfants

The Cité des Enfants is a children’s science museum in Paris.

The space is specially created so that children two years and older can experiment and explore through a series of fun and educational activities.

The main objective is for children to learn to know their environment and themselves through different experiments adapted to their age.

Children’s museum in Paris

Since its successful opening in 1992, the Cité des Enfants maintains its permanent exhibition focused on five thematic areas: I discover myself, I can do, I locate myself, Experiment and Everything together.

They are designed to stimulate the cognitive development of children with fun games and activities.
