Title: Font in the rain with kids.
Post by: OffshoreAndy on May 31, 2016, 07:00:40 am

Need some ideas to entertain the young kids ( 1 & 3) for the rest of this so called holiday. 
It's biblical, and doesn't look like stopping. Done Carrefour, been swimming, done walks around the boulders and sandcastles in the rain.
Any other ideas?

There's soft play in the same building as the cinema, though it wasn't open when we went. On the south side of town. If you're due to be there all week you may want to consider cutting your losses given the weather in the UK at the mo?

40 minutes on the train in to Gare de Lyon and a day out in Paris? Went to the science museum with my brothers kids last time in town which was pretty good, passed at least 4 hours in there

Thanks for the replies. Best fun pool for under 5,s was in Corbeil Essonnes near Evry.called stade nautique Gabrielle menut . It's about 25 mins from Milly, full of plastic animals and small slides, 6 inches deep and bath water temp. They do have bigger pools there for older kids. Better than Baltic font pool which is also dull. All pools require tight fitting bathing suits and hats even for babies.
Couple of softplays in Evry but only open weekend and Wednesday and French kids holidays.
If all else fails, there is an ikea in evry, with a great restaurant as long as you avoid those bloody awful meatballs, with the usual play areas in the kids section.
Cheers

As the saying goes, Evry cloud has a silver lining.

and hats even for babies.

Any particular type of hat? Is a trilby or bowler acceptable?

we went to a pool in St Fargeau-Ponthierry (because it was open on the day and time we needed it to be). Trunks needed but no hats, it was a pool for swimming rather than playing in though, water was freezing so if you weren't moving you got cold. Nipper went blue.
