Bring a picnic blanket for lawns around Grand Basin. On-site cafe is pricey with slow queues.
Pony rides run Wed, Sat, Sun, and school holidays only. 5 euros per ride. Ages 2-6 love it.
Puppet theater shows are in French but slapstick works for all ages. 30 min shows, 6 euros.
Playground split into two sections: ages 3-6 and 7-12. Don't mix them up.

A Real Parent's Story
Sailing boats in a Parisian pond — the simplest joy
“Two hours. One wooden boat. Zero screens. My daughter pushed that boat around the fountain like commanding a fleet.”

Our 4-year-old spent two hours with a rented sailboat. An elderly French gentleman gave her running commentary in French — she loved every second. We had a picnic under chestnut trees. Paris does not have to be expensive.
