Paris has some amazing parks. The best out of the lot is the Jardin d'Acclimatation. There is an admission charge for the park but it's worth every penny. This park is best visited on Wednesday.

And how can one forget kid's ultimate fun place, the Zoos? Though the largest zoo is at Bois de Vincennes, the most appealing is the small but wonderful Menagerie du Jardin de Plantes in the 5th arrondissement.

Kids will never be starved for entertainment in Paris. There is the magnificent Disneyland Paris, spread across 1,500 acres, and it is sure to win any red-blooded child's heart! You and your kids will also immensely enjoy a tour along the Seine river. A great one for sight seeing, this tour is unique in a lot of ways. For one, during the tour the child would get to see the entire overview of the beautiful city of Paris! Sure to kindle nostalgia in adults and unbounded excitement in kids! A visit to Notre Dame, should not be ruled out either, if not for anything else but for its breath-taking size and beauty.

On the Right bank one could take a stroll through the Jardin de Tuileries while savouring heaps of ice-creams or ride on a donkey back or even attend marionette shows depending on your little prince or princesses' mood. On the Left Bank, one can go to Jardin du Luxembourg to enjoy the same kind of fun.

If Puppets turn your child on, you can catch a puppet show anywhere in Paris as they are a great tradition in the city.

Don't let your child miss the wax museum at Musée Grevin, which is known for being the number one waxworks' museum in Paris.

And yes, you have come to the fashion capital of the world and your child is still attired in those normal clothes? There are many fashion shops specialising in children's clothes and also a lot of fashion houses have separate outlets for kids!
