Lyon with your family: summer activities
This summer, turn your stay in Lyon into a real family adventure. From the Best Western Hôtel Créqui, located in the heart of the city, set off to discover iconic sites, refreshing green spaces, and activities that will delight both children and parents alike.
Between cultural discoveries, fun walks, and moments of relaxation, Lyon has a thousand and one surprises in store for you to enjoy together.
The Tête d'Or Park, Lyon's green lung, is a must-see in the summer. Explore its cool, wooded paths on foot, by scooter, or by bike.
Younger children (aged 3-6) will marvel at a Guignol puppet show, a tradition in the park since 1948, or explore the free zoo, with its African savannah and big cat enclosure.
The little train “Le Lézard” will allow you to explore the 117 hectares in a fun way, with a bonus carousel ride to complete this joyful interlude!
For 6-12 year olds, Lyon Nature organizes creative and educational workshops throughout the year, such as land art and gardening.
You can also opt for a ride on a quadricycle, pedalo, or boat on the lake.
Older children can take part in themed tours, discover behind the scenes at the zoo or botanical garden, and enjoy the new features offered each season.
Head to Fourvière hill to admire the Lyon skyline from the esplanade or the Belvédère Gardens.
Children will have fun recognizing iconic monuments such as Place Bellecour, the Opera House, and the famous Tour Crayon and Tour Gomme towers.
Want to go even higher? Climb onto the roof of the Fourvière Basilica for an unusual guided tour you'll never forget.
Wander through the traboules and discover this World Heritage-listed district. Admire the typical architecture as you go.
Then take a gourmet break with some artisanal ice cream.
Enjoy the banks of the Rhône for a mix of relaxation and sports activities: skateboarding, rollerblading, volleyball, playgrounds, and more.
Stretching 5 km, they connect Tête d'Or Park to Gerland Park, a space dedicated to leisure, nature, and outdoor activities.
