    The "Espace des Inventions'' is a very small museum (I was expecting a small museum, but not as small). It was perfect as it was not so crowded. They have interesting scientific expositions (earthquakes for that matter). And excellent for kids as they have plenty of games and interactive stands. My 5-year-old loved it! They did a really good job breaking it down to kids.

    Very small museum with changing exhibits. All hands on so a great place for curious kids. It wasn't too busy and so one of the staff members spent some time talking with the kids about the exhibits, which made our visit really enjoyable.

    Great small sized family friendly museum with interactive exhibits. It has restrooms, a changing table, snacks and drinks. It is also in the middle of a wonderful park with a great playground. I would highly recommend this place for families

    Its small but they have some really good exhibitions for kids. The toilet facilities are poor and they are not easily accessible for wheelchair users. In fact I don't even think there is a disable toilet. I've been there for two exhibitions; the staff performed demonstrations which are informative and entertaining. They are also really helpful and friendly. Double check the website for opening times and it’s very difficult to find a parking space during the week. If using public transport, bus #1 and #2 terminate very close by.

    Exhibition about Trees: Great place to bring your kid. Interactive and gives the possibility for the child to understand the importance of trees in our planet. The only negative point is that the exhibition was only in French..

    Well, the medieval exposition is the same than the last two years. It's a good place to be there with kids if they want to paint or create something in the atelier
