What to do in Paris with kids in September 2025

Back to school doesn’t have to mean back to boring. There’s tons of fun things to do in Paris with kids this September – here’s some of our top picks!

*NOTE this event is for Paris-based families only. Swimming pool Piscine Emile Anthoine in the 15th arrondissement is opening its doors to families on Sundays for a host of free activities for kids between the ages of 3-7.

Before you grab that giraffe costume, take note that the Paris Zoo Run with the Parc Zoologique is sadly cancelled this year.

At Ferme de Paris learn together with the little ones about everything ‘green’ and ‘gardening’. From what to plant and what to pick this season. With ongoing workshops all afternoon. See more details below!

Where: Bois de Boulogne Park, Pelouse de la Muette

Age suitable for: 👶 0–1 | 👶 2–3 | 🧒 4–6

Bébé Concerts by the Orchestre Lamoureux is a truly unique way to introduce little ones to music. Designed specifically for children aged 0–5, these relaxed 30-minute classical music concerts combine live orchestral performances with interactive moments, allowing babies and toddlers to move, react and engage with the musicians (and most importantly, make noise!).

Themed programmes change each month, ranging from Mozart and Chopin to circus music, opera and Beethoven’s joyful symphonies. The next event in September

Rain-safe: Yes – entirely indoors.
⏱️ Duration: 30 minutes.
😴 Nap-friendly: Very – short sessions with multiple morning and afternoon time slots.
🍼 Stroller-friendly: Mostly yes, though some venues may require carrying strollers up stairs/ leave outside the theatre room (check venue access in advance)

PARENT TIP: Don’t hesitate – bring your babies even if they’re wiggly—these concerts are designed for little listeners, and no one minds a bit of movement, babbling or a mid-concert drink. 🎻👶🎶
