Lonely Planet review for Palais de la Découverte
Inaugurated during the 1937 Exposition Universelle and thus the world’s first interactive museum, this children’s science museum has excellent temporary exhibits (eg moving life-like dinosaurs) as well as a hands-on, interactive permanent collection focussing on astronomy, biology, physics and the like. The planetarium (admission €3.50) has four shows a day; there are also hourly science demonstrations (both in French).
