- Paris may not come off as a kid friendly city at first glance, maybe if you look deeper you’d know that there’s a handful one can do with their family.

But trust me there is more to Paris than what beats the eye, do take notes on the things that can be done to keep your kids occupied and ensure that your entire family has a great time there too.
- Kids will surely love to spend all their time in theme parks, which calls for a full 2 day trip if you would want to cover both the parks. The best part is there are a lot of things offered on-site like the golf course, Disney Village, and Davy Crockett Ranch camping making it very interesting and happening for both the adults and kids. Adding to this, there are a lot of hotels there if you would want to avoid the travel as it is quite far away from the paris city, which would take about 30 minutes by metro.
- Parisian parks are famous for their well‑groomed lawns and beautiful flora. One such park is the Luxembourg Gardens, perfect for a stroll. Children can watch a puppet show or play with toy sailboats. You can also join a guided tour to explore the gardens.
