Regularly, Little Villette— the dedicated space for kids nestled in the heart of Parc de la Villette— hosts themed weekends aimed specifically at children. Over these two days, families can enjoy a variety of activities, including workshops, performances, and exhibitions. Best of all, these weekends are completely free for families and young children!

Throughout the year, Little Villette offers families an array of themed weekends dedicated to play and creativity: magical experiences, theater weekends, and more. On Saturday, January 31, and Sunday, February 1, 2026, the spotlight is on our youngest visitors—babies from 18 months old. These days are specially designed for them during the Little Baby Weekend.

Parent-child motor skills workshops, short film screenings as part of Little Ciné, wake-up sessions... Little Bébé offers a variety of activities throughout this special weekend, complementing Little Villette's regular lineup, which features a large game bar, a reading lounge, and a dedicated LEGO table and wall for creative play...

By the way, have you been told that all the workshops, activities, and entertainment at Little Villette are open to everyone and completely free of charge? No more hesitation—let's go for it!
