In Paris, there are some museums that are absolutely unmissable, whether you're a local or just passing through. The Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, located in the heart of the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement, is definitely one of them. With its exhibitions and events, its programming constantly evolves to align with the major scientific, technological, and environmental themes that shape our daily lives.

Four pass options to explore the museum
In this space that spans over five floors and features more than a dozen exhibitions each year, you can easily spend a whole day without even being sure you'll see everything! To make sure you don’t miss a thing, the museum offers several subscription options for a year: the solo pass for one person at €45 or €35 at a reduced rate, the duo pass for one main subscriber and one guest at €65, or the tribe pass for five people at €95, perfect for families. This year, there's a new option: the benefactor pass which is tax-deductible (€91.8 instead of €270) for one person and a guest, along with exclusive perks (private visits, etc.).
