Paris is a widely popular tourist destination that attracts approximately 50 million sightseers a year, so it must be doing something right when it comes to tourism.
But the real question is: is it a good destination when looking for your next family vacation? Let’s dive into some of the different attractions and sights that are kid-friendly to help you determine if it meets all your requirements!
Bateaux Parisiens River Cruise
A family trip with young children usually means you want to keep walking to a minimum to avoid tantrums. The Bateaux Parisiens River Cruise is a great way to see all the iconic sights while cruising in a comfy boat.
You can see the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, and many more amazing French landmarks. The cruise is also an hour long, making it just long enough to see everything and just short enough to ensure kids don’t get bored.
Big Bus Paris Hop-On Hop-Off
Another great way to explore Paris without endlessly walking is to use the Big Bus Paris. It stops at 10 different locations next to must-see destinations and landmarks, allowing you to hop on and off and see what interests you the most, or you can simply take eye-catching photos from the bus as it drives around.
Aquarium de Paris
Aquariums are a good way to spend some quality time with the family, as they are well-known to keep the attention of young children. What’s more, Paris has an exceptional Aquarium that is home to 50 tanks consisting of 10,000+ fish and invertebrates.
So, it goes without saying that the Aquarium de Paris is the perfect place to visit if you decide to go to Paris. You can use the Paris Pass for this attraction (and many others) to help keep costs down when visiting Paris.
Petit Train de Montmartre
Why not take a mini train ride through the streets of Montmartre? You can take fantastic pictures while the kids can enjoy being on a train, pretty great, right?
The train journey takes up to an hour and is well-suited for kids, making it worth doing if you decide to come to Paris.
Grévin Paris – Wax Museum
If you want to see some incredibly life-like wax figures, Paris’ Wax Museum is an excellent choice. Your family can see more than 300 wax figures that come in all shapes and sizes.
There are even wax figures that are designed specifically for kids, such as Ladybug, Cat Noir and more, making the wax museum a fun day out for everyone.
To Wrap Things Up
Paris is often viewed as a great place to visit for couples; however, the city has much more to offer. Families, especially families with young children, can explore Paris while keeping the kids entertained.
The attractions that have been listed above help paint a picture. Plus, there is so much more to see as well. So, what are you waiting for?
