The visit takes about an hour and ends in the planetarium, which is usually the highlight for the little ones. But you can stay much longer: children have somewhere to eat, somewhere to play and somewhere to rest.
Before you come in
- Children up to 6 get in free, with a guardian.
- The entrance, the collection and the planetarium are on the ground floor, with no stairs.
- Strollers can be used throughout the visit. If you did not bring one, we lend one on request: just ask at the entrance.
What suits each age
- Up to 3: the planetarium, with its dark room and blue lights, and the playground. Arrive right after the morning nap.
- 4 to 7: the collection of clocks and instruments to look at up close, and the planetarium.
- 8 and older: the Time Workshop, a whole Saturday of sundials and a tour of the collection, with free entry (see the agenda), and the stargazing nights with telescopes.
Eating without leaving the museum
The museum has a restaurant with a play area for children: parents can have lunch in peace while the little ones stay close. There are children's meals, in smaller portions, for those who would rather not share a grown-up's plate.
Playing outdoors
The courtyard has an outdoor playground, next to where the stargazing nights are held. After an hour in the museum, it is a good place to burn off some energy before the trip home.
What to bring
- A small water bottle for each child.
- A hat or cap and sunscreen for the playground.
- A light jacket: the planetarium is cool and the stargazing nights are cold.
- Something for the baby to sleep with or play with, if you come with the little ones.
