And what if kids could try out their gifts before adding them to their list? Play in Paris, the gaming and toy fair for families, returns to the Parc Floral de Paris during the Toussaint holidays, from October 30 to November 1, 2026. After its first edition in 2025, the event expands to 11,000 m², of which 10,000 m² indoors and 1,000 m² outdoors. A chance to move from one booth to another, try out the latest releases, and snag ideas before Christmas.
Around forty brands are on the lineup. Children will be invited to handle and try out the games and toys on display, rather than just picking them from a box or a catalog. For parents, it's also a chance to see which products genuinely capture attention… and which are dropped after two minutes!
This second edition will also feature magic shows, K-pop dance performances, Disney-themed activities, and meet-and-greets with characters, mascots and content creators. Between sessions, families can take part in challenges, competitions, demonstrations and creative workshops. The announced activities notably include parent-child challenges, giving adults a chance to join in the fun as well.
We’re catering to diverse tastes, from construction toys to interactive toys, through creative hobbies and the board games. The French Federation of Toy and Nursery Industries (FFJP) will also be on hand with its Top Chrono Noël selection and advice to help parents buy games and toys safely.
The fair awaits you from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Hall 3 of the Parc Floral, on Route de la Pyramide, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The one-day pass costs €8 for children aged 4 to 17 and €11 for adults, with free admission for children under 4. The question is whether this visit will shorten Santa’s list… or add a few items to it.
