Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie (Science Centre)

We were here with a 20-month-old child and chose the "Baby City" hall - an ideal place for a family holiday. The food is incredibly delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and warm. I would especially like to mention the woman who served us: she was incredibly nice, attentive and created the feeling that we were long-awaited guests. Thanks to this, the visit was very pleasant and homely, I want to come back again!

I was here for over 3 hours, but still didn’t even get to view all the exhibits. This place is simply phenomenal for anyone interested in maths, science, space exploration, genetics and video games. There are so many interactive exhibits in english, french and Spanish, from a simulation of a journey to europa to performing genetic analysis. The 45 minute planetarium presentation was great, but was delivered in french. Recommend for anyone in the area interested in science and technology.

A mix of exciting new and forgotten old The new exhibits are great — modern, engaging, and well thought out. But many of the older ones feel like they were abandoned around 2005: broken elements, non-functional features, and a noticeable lack of staff around to help or explain. That said, the museum is clean, and the staff (when you do come across someone) are friendly and welcoming. With a bit of maintenance and presence, the older sections could shine again.

Worth a trip and well off the tourist trail. Best is being able to walk around inside a 1950s vintage diesel submarine: the Argonaut. Lots of interesting and educational exhibits that switch around every couple of years. You can spend the day and not see everything. Overall has a bit of a 1970s vibe going for it. Planetarium is worth a go (all shows in French with no subtitles). The giant mirrored ball thing in all the photos is an IMAX cinema and is not part of the museum. In the mathematics section they have this interesting round room you can go in and then they start it spinning (not too fast) so you can see what it's like to be in a rotating reference frame. Think of a carousel where they've cleared out all the horses and you get to walk around on the rotating platform. They had a section on dogs and cats (without having any actual dogs and cats) that was entertaining and we did learn things like "cats don't like it when you rearrange the furniture". Recommended if your trip to Paris is not so frantic or if it's not your first time in Paris.
