Every Saturday, the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution offers a weekly event for families with children. Welcome to the little ones' Saturdays!

With its African caravan of savannah animals (giraffe, wildebeest, zebras, lions, hippopotamuses...), its immense butterfly collections and naturalized deep-sea animals, the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution remains one of the capital's most kid-friendly museums. Immerse yourself in a unique building of the Paris Museum of Natural History, where you can stroll among animal species from all over the world.

So, in addition to offering a tour that's particularly popular with families, and especially with children, the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution organizes workshops for the little ones every Saturday at 2.30pm. On the program? Children aged 3 to 5 discover a participatory tale and follow the adventures of Nuru, a little lioness who recounts the life of her clan.

If you've ever taken a stroll through the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, you'll no doubt have spotted the grand old buildings that stand along the way: this is the Museum of Natural History, of which the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution is a part. [Read more]

These workshops cost €5 per person, in addition to admission to the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution, and are free for under-25s. Reservations are strongly recommended for these children's workshops. Shall we go next Saturday?
