About the exhibition

La Cité des Enfants is an interactive science exhibition for children aged 2 to 12. It's a unique space for awakening curiosity, active observation, exploration, and experimentation. The exhibits are accessible and engaging, with hands-on activities, role-play, and collaborative games tailored to young visitors and their carers, fostering a fun learning environment.

The exhibition is divided into two main sections for two different age groups (2-7 years and 5-12 years). It aims to provide educational experiences stimulating children's interest in science and technology through play and interaction.

The activities for 2-7-year-olds cover concepts that are essential prerequisites for the development of young children:

• I discover myself

• I located myself

• I experiment

• I can do it

• We do it all together

The exhibition was realised with the Cité des Sciences team.
