One of the highlights of Paris would definitely be this museum. Great collection of bones and educative signs, this is definitely something that should not be missed whenever in the city!!! It might not be that big, but visiting it is definitely worth it.

Repartitioned in several sites, it is impossible to explore everything so the site is large, it must be done in several times. Why not start with the big gallery of evolution, the garden of plants and the zoo? Young and old find a lot of fun thanks to all the fun aspects of the different worlds. To your sneakers !!

Wonderful museum overall. A lineup outside the kids area is truly not necessary though and the ticket sales lineups can be a TON better organized. Kept us in the freezing snow outside and only let a few people in to buy tickets at a time. Brrrrr

I was at the gardens only, it was free and I had a wonderful time smelling and touching herbs and all sorts of plants. There's a cart outside where they sell the most delicious French ice cream. Loved this place.

The museum is vast. To visit it in a way it would take at least two days. The part of paleontology and comparative anatomy is the most fascinating. The green area is also very beautiful, ideal for a pleasant walk.
