In February 2025, we're off with the kids to see a magic show, storytelling, theater, circus... With children, babies or grown-ups, Paris offers many options in the city's theaters and performance venues.
Going to see shows with children in Paris is an enriching experience on several levels. Firstly, it gives youngsters the chance to be exposed to the magic of live performance, stimulating their imagination and creativity. Shows in Paris cover a wide range of performing arts, from theater and puppetry to dance and music, offering a variety of options to suit every child's taste (or so we hope). On rainy days, shows are one of the most effective outings to take the family on: it's also an opportunity to discover the city's magnificent historic theaters in memorable performances that educate, entertain and inspire children, contributing to their sense of wonder. Without further ado, discover the best shows to see with your family in February 2025 !
