We took our near 4 year old to the 2-7 year old part of the Cite des Enfants for a well-deserved totally child oriented day in Paris. She had a ball with multi-themed areas of interactive science play. Truely engaging activities and even the child within (my partner and myself) were fascinated and delighted at the prospect of what it... More

Having visited the Glasgow Science Center earlier this year, this just didn't cut it. Firstly, the science museum appears to be in the middle of some industrial wasteland (it isn't - its just in the middle of an enormous characterless concrete edifice).

She was so excited and it was wonderful to see her so happily playing and learning at the same time. Only problem was that nobody warned us that there was a time limit on our visit! Not... More

Took my 3-yr old son to this Science Museum. It had an area for 3-5 year olds where he could experiment with water, lights, wind, and sound. Also an area to build small cars/trucks using large blocks, etc. Many, many activities. A must see/go for toddlers. Because this is the only area we visited, I can not speak for the... More
