Here we are, in La Villette, visiting for the first time the Cite' de la Science, this incredible huge museum that so much reminds me of the California Science Center. Of course we did the yearly-card so we'll get the chance to visit it several time. This place is immense and very well organized. We only had 3 hours and so we ended up visiting only a couple of areas.
Naturally, Josh wanted to see the submarine first. So we did.
It was actually very interesting and the best part was the interactive museum at the end, where kids can play with the periscope and see all the models. As expected, Josh asked me to buy him all the boxes to build them...
Then we went inside the main exposition areas where there's all kind of scientific demonstrations. One suggestion: if you're in Paris and you have your kids with you, come here. It's really worth it!
I personally found really remarkable that they tried to explain, in a very realistic way, how people on a wheelchair struggle in doing all basic actions, as opening a door or going up a ramp. Well, this is the first time I saw something similar in a museum and Josh was impressed by how difficult it is to deal with such a "common" device.
That said, I hope I'll never see him again on that kind of chair...scary!
