Paris entertainment for children .. there's so much to do !

As a parent, finding an amusement park that caters to both younger and older children can be a challenge. However, our recent visit to Jardin d'Acclimatation Amusement Park Paris exceeded our expectations and provided a fun-filled day for the whole family.

Jardin d'Acclimatation was originally based on the idea of a zoological garden and botanical park. It was founded in 1860 by Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie as a place where Parisians could enjoy nature and learn about the flora and fauna from around the world. In addition to the gardens and animal enclosures, the park included a range of attractions such as a miniature railroad, a boating lake, and a museum of natural history. Over time, the park evolved to include more amusement park rides and activities while still maintaining its focus on nature and education. Today, Jardin d'Acclimatation Amusement Park Paris offers a unique blend of history, nature, and fun for visitors of all ages.

The park's setting in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne provided a stunning backdrop for our day of adventure. We started with the charming vintage carousel, which delighted our youngest son, and then moved on to the thrilling rollercoasters which our older children couldn't get enough of. The park's range of rides and activities provided something for everyone, making it the perfect destination for families with children of all ages.

The park's live shows and animal encounters were a particular highlight for our family, and we spent time watching the talented performers and learning about the animals' habitats and behaviors. The park's staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring that everyone had a safe and enjoyable time.

The park's food options were diverse, ranging from quick snacks to full meals, with plenty of options for all dietary needs. We were able to enjoy a delicious lunch together as a family, which helped to fuel our energy for the rest of the day. There are also plenty of benches and picnic tables if you wanted to take a packed lunch withh you.

The cost of visiting Jardin d'Acclimatation Amusement Park Paris can vary depending on a few factors, such as the time of year, the type of ticket purchased, and any additional activities or services that you choose. However, in general, the park offers a range of ticket options to suit different budgets and preferences. For example, the park offers a "Discovery" ticket that provides access to a limited number of rides and attractions at a lower cost, as well as a "Passport" ticket that includes unlimited access to all of the park's rides and attractions. Additionally, the park offers discounts for children, seniors, and groups, as well as various seasonal promotions throughout the year. Overall, while Jardin d'Acclimatation may not be the cheapest attraction in Paris, it offers a range of options to suit different budgets and is considered a good value for the quality and variety of attractions it provides.

Overall, our visit to Jardin d'Acclimatation Amusement Park Paris was an incredible experience that provided a day of fun, adventure, and education for the whole family. We highly recommend this park to any family looking for an amusement park that caters to both younger and older children. We can't wait to return!
