15 Best Things to Do in Paris With Kids
Dinner boats, dragon slides, amusement parks: you'd think this city was built for little ones.
Paris and romance: the two just seem to go together. But as it turns out, this city is also surprisingly child-friendly. Kid details abound, like the manèges (kiddie rides, for a €2 coin) in all covered markets, such as Marché Saint-Quentin, and the multiple parks sprinkled across the city (the second oldest zoo in Europe is at the Jardin des Plantes, and even the 19th-century amusement park, the Jardin d’Acclimatation, holds its charms). Even the very core of Paris, the Seine, is framed by the Berges, car-free stretches home to all sorts of family-friendly fun. Here, we've rounded up a list of the best things to do in Paris with kids—so next time, don't just book tickets for two.
