Cite des enfants - La Villette: playground for kids from 5 to 10

The children's play area for 5-10 year olds has been given a facelift, with a new scenography after 1 year's work, and reopened on July 3, 2025.

Discover the 5 universes: Down Under, Water Games, Funfair, Resourceful Workshop and Bizarre House!

• Above and Below: discover the life that teems at our feet and... below. Become a millipede, sowbug or worm and discover their world in a playful way.
• Water games: the ideal place to jump, run and splash. Water games are always popular (bring a change of clothes ... just in case!)
• La Fête foraine: a space open to challenges to test agility
• L'Atelier débrouille: create, build, use your imagination or follow the rules. Resourcefulness is the order of the day: start, start again...
• La Maison bizarre: here, the rules are turned upside down. Letting children's imaginations run wild is the watchword here.

The Cité des Enfants exhibition is permanent, and the activities remain the same, but are approached differently by the children, depending on their age at the time of their visit.
