City trips with kids aged 6-10

A full half day that works from babies to ten-year-olds, with indoor play if it rains.

Thirty minutes in the capsule, but pushchairs must be folded before you join the queue.

Take the lift to the second floor and stop there. The summit adds a second queue.

One hour sitting down while Paris goes past. The best rest stop on a walking day.

Free for under-18s and the one ruin kids already know. Book a timed slot or you will not get in.

A real castle with ramparts, cannonballs and a roof terrace. Free under 18, lots of ramps and stairs.

Free for under-13s and flat enough for a stroller. The easiest first day in Tokyo.

Children get in free, adults pay ¥630. The rainy-day fix five minutes from Ueno Station.

Five floors where touching everything is the point. Same price from age 4 up, free under 4.

A leafy city zoo a tram ride from the centre. Easy with a stroller, pricey at the gate.

Shark tunnel plus a hands-on children's area. The easiest win in the city for under-6s.

A full day on flat paths, with playgrounds, a farm and a nursing room with a microwave.

Zoo, dolphinarium and aquarium on one ticket. It is a big site, so pick a half and stick to it.

A city amusement park one metro stop from the zoo, with a full zone for small children.

One huge central tank you keep coming back to, ramps and lifts all the way, and cheaper after 4 pm.

A full day out right on top of a metro station, but the cable car does not take strollers.
