Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

Choose the official Cité des sciences et de l'industrie booking flow if you qualify for a reduced or free ticket, need to present eligibility documents, or want to avoid online booking fees. For a standard adult visit, the supplied Tiqets ticket is a practical partner option at €15, matching the official full exhibition rate, but verify the selected date, time slot and access conditions before payment; admission still involves venue security and bag checks.

Before checkout

What is often not included

A €15 standard ticket matches the official full-price exhibitions rate, but eligible visitors may pay less: €12 for ages 6–25 and some other reduced categories, €4 for children aged 2–5, and free admission for children under 2 and certain documented visitor groups. Reduced or free eligibility is checked at access, so carry the required ID or supporting proof.
A standard exhibitions ticket does not include Cité des enfants. Families need the separate child-venue ticket or the combined package; Cité des enfants also requires choosing a specific entry time.
Bag checks and security controls still apply even when a partner ticket is described as convenient or priority access; a ticket should not be assumed to bypass security or admission checks. Visitor reports specifically mention strict bag control and repeated checks when moving between areas.
Large suitcases and bags over 50 × 30 × 20 cm are not accepted. The free cloakroom is for permitted small luggage and items requiring deposit, must be cleared the same day, and valuables are left at the visitor’s risk.
Official online ticketing states that reservation fees are not charged, while the supplied Tiqets row only confirms a €15 base price; check the partner checkout total for any service fees, currency conversion, date restrictions or access conditions before paying.
Official tickets are not refundable, exchangeable or returnable except when Universcience cancels the service. Tiqets cancellation terms are not shown in the supplied offer, so verify the exact cancellation deadline and refund conditions at checkout.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

Entrance
The Cité has entrances on the north side by Porte de la Villette and on the south side by Parc de la Villette, with access at levels 0 and -2: use the north side when arriving by metro and the south side when coming through the park. Arrive up to 15 minutes before the time printed on your ticket, then follow the admission signs; a ticket does not bypass the entrance security checks, which include visual and magnetometer inspection. Suitcases and bags larger than 50 × 30 × 20 cm are refused, and recent visitor feedback indicates that these limits are enforced strictly, so travel with a small bag and allow extra time for screening.
Price
For July 2026, the official Cité des sciences et de l'industrie Expositions ticket is €15 at full price, with verified reduced rates including €12 for visitors aged 6–25 and €4 for children aged 2–5; children under 2 can enter free with proof. The supplied Tiqets ticket is also €15, so it matches the official full-price benchmark rather than offering a visible saving; compare the final checkout terms, date or slot conditions, and cancellation policy before paying, as official online tickets have no booking fee.
Discounts
For the exhibitions, reduced admission is available for visitors aged 6–25 (€12) and children aged 2–5 (€4); the standard exhibition ticket is €15. Free admission is available for children under 2, jobseekers and qualifying minimum-income recipients, refugees and asylum seekers, visitors with disabilities and one companion, certain professional-card holders, valid Paris Museum Pass holders subject to availability, and Universcience Pass holders. Reduced- or free-admission visitors must show the required proof at access control. Children under 2 do not need a reservation or ticket for the exhibitions, but they may enter the Cité des enfants only when accompanying a child in the relevant 2–6 age group. The Cité des enfants requires a specific entry time, and its reduced or free tickets must also be validated with supporting documents; check the selected activity because Planetarium, Argonaute and other timed sessions may have separate availability or scheduling requirements.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a mobile ticket, and do I need a time slot?

Check the voucher for the exact date, entry conditions and any time requirement before checkout. A precise entry time is required for Cité des enfants; the standard exhibitions ticket does not show a time-slot requirement in the supplied offer, so confirm the current product details.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable, except when Universcience cancels the service. The supplied Tiqets listing does not state a cancellation policy, so check the cancellation terms displayed before payment.

Is buying from Tiqets better than buying directly from the Cité?

The official online ticketing service states that it applies no booking fee, while the supplied Tiqets ticket is €15 and may offer a different checkout experience. Compare the final total, voucher instructions, cancellation terms and included areas before choosing a partner.

Are bags checked, and can I bring a suitcase or stroller?

Expect security and bag checks even with a ticket labelled as priority or skip-the-line; such labels should not be assumed to bypass security. Free cloakrooms accept coats and small bags, but items larger than 50 × 30 × 20 cm are not accepted; strollers may need to be left at the entrance to some spaces.

What happens if I arrive late?

For timed activities such as Cité des enfants, arrive for the selected entry period. For scheduled sessions, including the Planetarium or other timed programming, admission may be refused after the start; the venue advises arriving about 15 minutes early.

Who qualifies for free or reduced admission?

The standard exhibitions ticket is €15, with reduced rates including €12 for visitors aged 6–25 and €4 for children aged 2–5; children under 2 enter free. Reduced or free visitors must present the required proof at access control, while children under 2 do not need a reservation or ticket.

What is the main bottleneck inside the venue?

The clearest capacity bottleneck is Cité des enfants, where you must select a specific entry time and the standalone ticket does not include the exhibitions. If you want both, book the combined package rather than assuming an exhibitions ticket covers Cité des enfants.
