It's so hard to find things to do with a young toddler in the Winter let alone in a new city. Many programs are for 3 years +. I will also put together an outdoor list as soon as it warms up here ;-)
Aquariums- My son is 19 months and enjoys seeing fish etc...at the Aquarium
Cine Aqua- is fairly expensive but when M is older they have tons of fun things for older children (movies, art projects, sting ray touch pool, puppet theater - M was a bit scared of this)
Palais de la Porte Doree - We have not visited this one yet
Indoor Parks/Children's Museum
Cite des Enfants - M is a bit too young but first thing after his 2nd birthday we will be sure to participate!
La Maison des Enfants - We have not tried this yet but would like to
Child Friendly Cafes with Play Areas - there are a few others in Paris but not close to my home...I think I found 2 or 3 in the 18eme...and more in the 16eme or 7eme
Le Poussette Cafe - they also offer Ateliers (workshops)

ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is mostly for me so when we are bored at home I can pull up the list and go do something! It has actually gotten warmer lately. Warm enough to go to parks and play! I'd say it's about 50 degrees or so. Still cloudy and gray tho! Spring can't get here soon enough
