Paris Montparnasse Observatory is Offering Free Admission for Kids Under 12!
Looking for family-friendly things to do in Paris? We’ve got great news—kids get free admission to the Paris Montparnasse Observatory every Wednesday and Sunday from October 29th through November 30, 2025 (excluding sunset times)! That’s right: your little explorers (aged 11 and under) can enjoy breathtaking views of Paris for free—as long as they’re accompanied by a paying adult.
Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend activity or visiting Paris with kids, the Montparnasse Observatory is a must-see. With its 360° panoramic terrace soaring 210 meters above the city, it offers a whole new way for the whole family to fall in love with Paris. And let’s be honest: where else can you get your child to look up from their phone for more than 30 seconds? (Spoiler: when there’s a view of the Eiffel Tower, they will look up.)
A View Worth Sharing—For All Ages
From spotting famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, and the Seine, to running around the open-air terrace with glee, this experience is more than just scenic—it’s seriously fun. Plus, don’t miss Panoramart, our colorful art display on the 56th floor windows, where imagination meets skyline. It’s a playful and artistic way for kids (and adults!) to see Paris like never before.
Need a break? Our on-site café lets you enjoy a coffee while your little ones marvel at the city below. It’s one of the top family activities in Paris, combining fun, education, and unbeatable Instagrammable moments.
