Previously known as the Galerie de Zoologie and renovated in 1994, the gallery offers a fascinating trip through the history of the various species. Take your children on a voyage of discovery through these vast halls where you will find 7,000 different species including extinct and endangered animals as well as sea and land creatures. Take a crash course in the life sciences and evolution theories while learning about the impact of human activity on nature and animal species: the perfect family outing.

La Grand Galerie de l’Evolution is amazing and has a kids discovery bit on the 2nd floor. It is located in the Jardin des Plantes that also has a small but fun petting zoo. (Sarah Jane Lindsay)
