Tuesday… Yeah! Today I am going to bring Ju out alone to Cite Des Enfants… Kids Science Centre… It is meant for kids between 2 to 7 years old. The challenge is in taking train and asking for directions within the science centre… but I did it! haha! So proud of myself lah! The train stations here are not children friendly at all. Majority of the stations have lots of stairs, no escalators or lifts to take. Even going through the entrance gantry is a challenge with a child and stroller. I wonder how does people on wheelchair move around.
Arrival at Cite Des Enfants…
Queueing for tickets… thank God the ticketing staffs can converse in English. She said the next session starts at 2.40pm which means I have an hour to wait. I did some homework before coming so I knew the ticket consist of a 3D show which we went to watch at the end of the day and Ju broke his 3D spectacles, so embarrassed when I returned the staff the broken pieces. I guessed broken specs should be something common among kids because he gave me a smile and said something in French which I did not understand… hee
 
Â
We went for lunch at a cafe while waiting. The menu was all in French. Staffs cannot understand English. I ordered a dish called “poulet roti, frites”. I thought it is chicken burger but turned out to be my favourite fried chicken with fries… Heng!
Â
Yeah time for play! The lady was speaking french and kids were sitting in groups like that around…Ju also sat together with them…Â I realised later that they are actually groups of school kids on excursion… Oops!
Â
Entrance to the play area! Wow! Everything were low at kids level and the kids just knew waht to do once they stepped in! All the kids went “crazy” when they were inside.. haha! I love this place too… If Singapore has something like this…
