Question 1

What time should we actually go to avoid the crowds?

Accepted Answer

Go early, like right when it opens. The funfair and food trucks will be less packed in the morning, and you'll have your pick of rides without waiting. Once it hits late afternoon, families start clearing out because the evening concerts and adult parties are about to start, so that's another good window if mornings don't work for you.

Question 2

Is there enough to do for a full afternoon, or should we plan something else nearby?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your kids' ages and how much they love rides and food stalls. If they're into carnival games and trying different food trucks, you could easily spend 2-3 hours. It's right in the city center though, so you're close to other stuff if you want to combine it with a walk through the Gothic Quarter or a museum visit.

Question 3

Can we bring our own food, or do we need to buy from the trucks?

Accepted Answer

There are food trucks on-site, so plan to buy lunch there or eat before you come. Either way, pack water bottles for the kids, it's cheaper than buying drinks and keeps everyone hydrated in the July heat.

Question 4

What's the easiest way to get there?

Accepted Answer

Take the metro. The venue is well served by the L1 and L2 lines and is right in the city center, so it's super accessible. If you're driving, parking nearby on a Friday or Saturday afternoon will be tight, so the metro is honestly your best move. The walk from the metro stop is short.
