Advance booking. You just need to schedule the activities with hirsute, the planetarium, and the astrogonaut. The only annoying thing is having to manually enter the ticket numbers to get the official tickets on the Cité des Sciences website.

We understand that for security reasons we can't access the tickets earlier, but on the other hand, it's a bit stressful when dealing with you for the first time if we want to book an activity that requires presenting the paid ticket number. Maybe this should be explained a bit better for "novices"; as far as I'm concerned, it was Claude (AI) who fortunately helped me.

The ability to see all the exhibitions without paying for each of them. The ability to do these visits as we see fit, at our own pace. Being free to organize your own travel.

A very immersive experience. The story was very well developed and made me want to open up to the world. I can't wait to see what happens next!

The Grévin Museum is a must-see—it’s so well-designed and enjoyable to visit, especially during this heat wave… The figures are displayed in context, and it’s easy to have your picture taken with them. I have a more candid reservation about the Cité des Sciences, though, because I found that the explanations of certain phenomena weren’t explained clearly enough and often relied on scientific jargon—in short, you’d need a college degree to understand, or even to try to follow along with some of the explanations…Not everything is disappointing, far from it, and thankfully some sections are even accessible to young visitors… Special mention goes to the cool water fountains installed throughout the museum, which were very much appreciated. I’ll conclude by saying that these two museums are worth visiting because of the diversity of their collections.

Dive into a day of discovery at the Science and Industry Museum in Paris with hands-on exhibits, live demos, and gripping simulations.

Step inside the Argonaute, a 1950s war submarine, and explore its launch bay, engine room, and crew quarters up close.

Try your hand at piloting the Solar Impulse, the world’s first solar-powered aircraft simulator, a fun way to learn about the future of clean aviation.

Walk through planetarium shows and space-themed exhibits that take you on a journey across stars, planets, and distant galaxies.

From robotics to space and beyond, enjoy a science experience designed for all ages, set within the artistic surroundings of Parc de la Villette.
