Le Palais de la Découverte is currently closed for extensive renovation work and should reopen in 2025 !
Le Palais de la Découverte is Paris oldest science museum (compared to la Cité des Sciences de la Villette) and is located in a gorgeous Art Nouveau building next to the Champs Elysées. It's presents exhibitions and experiments about all disciplines in natural sciences (Maths, physics, chemistry, biology...) and it's a great place to visit with kids from 4. There's also a beautiful planetarium that is accessible to children above 6 and that always was a great favorite of mine when I was a child.
To reach the Palais de la Découverte from Ivry, you can either take subway line 7 toward La Courneuve, change for line 1 in Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre toward La Défense and get off at Franklin D. Roosevelt. Or, if the weather is nice, you can take RER B toward Paris and get off at Invalides, from here it's a lovely 10 min walk across the Seine via the beautiful Alexandre III bridge to the museum.
