Can we just turn up on the day?

No. It's booking only and places are limited, so reserve on the Centre des monuments nationaux ticket site before you go.

Who else gets the €8 rate?

Job seekers, people on minimum social benefits, and disabled visitors (with a companion) pay the same €8 as kids.

Is there somewhere to burn off energy afterward?

The Tuileries playground is about 400 m away, a five-minute walk across Place de la Concorde.

About

A kamishibai tale, the Japanese way of telling a story with large picture cards. Zimba, a curious little monkey, sets off to find his mother's missing bracelet and meets a world of extraordinary animals along the way. Afterward the group takes a short walk through the Animalia exhibition to spot the real and imaginary creatures in the artworks. Suits preschoolers who can sit through a story; older kids may find it too gentle.

Kids €8, adults €14
