This Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7, 2025, the Cité des Sciences is organizing a big party for kids! On the program? Entertainment galore and workshops for the whole family!

Still haven't made any plans for the weekend of December 6 and 7, 2025? If you've got kids, it's time for the Grande fête des enfants at the Cité des Sciences! For the occasion, the event takes over every floor of the Cité, with a great program for kids, teens and families, in a festive and joyful atmosphere.

The program includes scientific and creative workshops, spectacular shows and demonstrations, and a closer look at the main principles of science. But don't forget to play a game of board games with the whole family and, above all, learn, explore and have fun at this major annual family event. At the end of the day, it's time to hit the dancefloor with the Bazar Musical, the dance party to round off this great children's festival.

If you're spending the day or afternoon at the Cité des Sciences, you might as well take the opportunity to take a look around and discover the current family exhibitions, to which you have access with your admission ticket. So, why not drop in for a visit?
