Itinerary
Day 1
Morning family-friendly visit to the Eiffel Tower with fast-track entry, guided 2nd-floor intro and independent summit time; afterwards a relaxed break on Champ de Mars and a family lunch nearby.
Meeting point — check in with your host (Allée Léon Bourgeois, near the Eiffel Tower)
Meet your Wonder Meets and Tours host 30 minutes before your scheduled visit. The host will be wearing a light-green cap and holding a “Wonder Meets and Tours” sign. This open-grass meeting spot is near the southeast side of the Tower and is stroller-friendly.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 30 minutes early as instructed — hosts handle ticket organisation; look for the light-green cap and sign to avoid confusion.
- The meeting area is flat and suitable for strollers; bring a small blanket to keep toddlers comfortable while waiting.
- Use nearby public toilets at the base of the Tower before entry (ask your host for the quickest route) — saves time after security checks.
Fast-track entry & security (priority entrance to Eiffel Tower)
Your host will guide the group to the priority entrance and help with the timed-admission process so you bypass the main ticket lines. Expect a quick security check before elevator access.
Tips from local experts:
- Security checks are mandatory — avoid bringing oversized bags or tripods to speed the process.
- Foldable strollers are allowed through security; keep a carrier on hand for infants if lines are tighter than usual.
- If anyone in your group needs extra time (young children, stroller adjustments), tell your host immediately — they can coordinate a slightly slower pace.
Guided 2nd-floor introduction — family-friendly highlights
A local guide leads a short, engaging introduction on the 2nd floor: pointing out major Paris monuments (Arc de Triomphe, Seine, Louvre) and sharing kid-friendly stories to keep children interested.
Tips from local experts:
- Position younger children at the railing for clear landmark spotting; bring a pair of kid-sized binoculars or borrow one to make it a mini-scavenger hunt.
- There are covered indoor areas on the 2nd floor for brief rests if it’s breezy — perfect for toddlers who need a calmer spot.
- Ask the guide to point out a few quick facts in 1–2 minute ‘stops’ so kids don’t lose interest; guides are used to adapting to family groups.
Summit experience — independent exploration
Continue by elevator to the Summit. Enjoy open-air decks, Gustave Eiffel’s office reconstruction and panoramic photo opportunities. This portion is unstructured so families can explore at their own pace.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep a hand on small children near viewing rails — wind can be stronger at the summit and there are many photo moments that attract crowds.
- Gustave Eiffel’s office is a short indoor exhibit area — good for a calm 5–10 minute stop if kids need a quieter space.
- Champagne is available at the summit for adults; bring a small snack or water for children as food options are limited up top.
Champ de Mars — outdoor break & play
A short walk from the Tower leads to the Champ de Mars green lawns and small playgrounds — a relaxed spot for toddlers to run, a quick picnic, diaper change or a rest on the grass.
Tips from local experts:
- Spring in May is mild—bring a light blanket for a picnic and a hat for kids; shade is limited in the central lawns.
- The park has public playground areas and benches; for diaper changes use the nearby public restrooms or ask your host for the closest family room.
- If you didn’t pack snacks, small kiosks near the Champ de Mars sell sandwiches and drinks — keep an eye on kids near the water fountains and pedestrian paths.
Family lunch at La Fontaine de Mars — classic Paris bistro
A short walk from the Champ de Mars, La Fontaine de Mars is a beloved family-friendly bistro with hearty French dishes and a warm, relaxed atmosphere ideal for kids.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a table in advance (especially in May) and request a table away from the entrance if you need a quieter spot for small children.
- The staff are used to families — ask for high chairs and a simplified dish recommendation for kids (they often accommodate allergies if notified).
- Plan for a leisurely 60–75 minute lunch to recharge — a relaxed pace helps avoid rushed tantrums and gives time for a final restroom/change before continuing your day.
