Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
The Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie at La Villette has hands-on Cité des Enfants galleries for ages two to six and five to ten, plus a submarine, planetarium and larger exhibitions. The children’s gallery is a separate ticket choice; choose the age band and session first, then decide if your child has energy for one more exhibit.

Booking a Cite des Enfants session means you play at her scale together, then graduate to one big wow like the submarine when energy allows.
