What to do in Paris with kids in October 2025

Pumpkin carving, Halloween! Autumnal leaves, theatre shows and more – October is a great month to enjoy in Paris with kids under 6. Here’s some family-friendly ideas..

Paris is surrounded by farms where you can pick your own fruit and veg. So when it comes to getting your pumpkins, there is no better place to head! Bundle your little ones into a wheelbarrow and take your pick of pumpkins as far as the eye can see 🎃

During the October school holidays, the Musée d’Orsay‘s grand salle des fêtes is transformed into a huge play and discover space for kids. There’s stations to be creative, along with a library area with tons of cushions and corners with boxes full of toys!

TIP: First Sunday of each month (2nd November) entry is free to the museum but must book in advance

TIP: Book tickers in advance to avoid queuing (they are LONG) – although if you are with a buggy and ask nicely they hopefully will let you skip!

Hello Kitty takes a dive into the oceans at l'Aquarium de Paris. Fans can...
- Immersive decor brining Hello Kitty to our fishy friends
- Little kids can meet Hello Kitty & Friends in life-size settings (hello cute photo opp)
- Take part in creative workshops
- Educational and fun activities dedicated to ocean protection
