Not only do we have Disneyland to enjoy with the children in the French capital. In the Parque de la Villete, just outside Paris, is the City of Science and Industry, which proposes an approach to science and technology in a simple, didactic and entertaining way. It has a space dedicated to the smallest of the house, the City of Children.
The City of Children covers two age groups: "New Generation", from 2 to 7 years old, and another space for children from 5 to 12 years old. The entire City is a space of leisure and culture with diverse exhibitions for children to learn in an interactive and practical way, through live demonstrations. It also has a media library, a new planetarium and a "Geode", a steel sphere with a movie theater for giant screen and 3D projection, an aquarium and the Argonaute submarine.
The City of Children has a trilingual exhibition (French, English and Spanish) that proposes 5 thematic spaces:
"I discover myself": The child will learn to build his identity through playful experiences: look in a "mirror house", recognize objects with the senses, identify their emotions ...
"I know how to do": Anticipate the movement of an object, start writing with light pencils, play with large red letters, decipher virtual images ... they will be experiences that will stimulate and enrich the child's cognitive abilities.
“I guide myself": The child will take a tour with many surprises ... he will have to move, climb, crawl, break through a maze ...
"All together": The child will play with a partner or an entire team to become a bricklayer, transporter, technician, artist ... Learn to socialize thanks to contact and exchange.
"Experiment": The child will use the water, contemplate the effect of air on strange machines, play with colored lights and shadows ... discover the world and make his first scientific and technical experiences.
In addition, the building in which this interesting proposal is located for children is a futuristic show, architecturally very interesting. Thanks to this City of Science and Industry in Paris, mathematics, sounds and images, space, aeronautics, energy, human beings ... will be a little easier to understand.
