Jardin des Plantes

http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/04/ten-great-things-to-do-with-kids/
Along the Seine in the 5th arrondissement, the Jardin des Plantes is a grand botanical garden in the middle of the city and a favorite spot for strolling. This is a good place to let the kids run and sniff flowers. There’s also a ménagerie (zoo) with some cool monkeys and an old school natural history museum with huge, dusty dinosaur bones and not a trace of the frenetic edutainment that goes on in so many museums these days. Here it’s just bones–tons and tons of them–all crowded into a majestic hall. You feel like you’ve stepped back into the 19th century. The kids are awestruck.

• Jardin des Plantes botanical gardens (opposite Gare d'Austerlitz). One of the world's oldest and largest botanical gardens, open to the public since 1640! There is paid entry for the "menagerie" section, specialised in the preservation of endangered species. However the small pandas can be clearly observed for free from the botanical gardens.

Bois de Boulogne

http://goparis.about.com/od/parisforkids/a/Jardin-D-Acclimation-Park-In-Paris.htm
A truly paradisical "garden" for kids, the Jardin d'Acclimation was Paris' very first amusement park, opened by Napoleon III in 1860 at the sprawling Bois de Boulogne. The nearly 50-acre park was originally intended to replicate an English-style garden, but with a more scientific lean. In its modern-day incarnation, the park is both a big draw card for children and a comfortable trip down memory lane for parents, offering a gaggle of attractions, antique games, animal farm, and a children's museum, but also plenty of lush greenery and unique lounging areas to balance your energy.
Metro: Les Sablons (Line 1)
October-March daily from 10am to 6pm.

This childrens’ park was actually designed in the 19th century, and although it’s been updated with lots of cool rides and play equipment there’s still an air of old Paris about the place. (The jungle boat ride with it’s period depiction of natives sitting in the grass and pith-helmet wearing colonialists is particularly, er, historic.) We love it because most of the play equipment is designed for the park itself (instead of purchased off the shelf and plopped there), which makes it far more intriguing and novel. One should definitely arrive on the “petit train” that leaves from the Porte Maillot, a narrow gauge choo-choo that chugs through the perimeter of the Bois de Boulonge before depositing you at the entrance. This place has it all: a zoo, a sprinkler park, huge expanses of park equipment for every age, and a boardwalk-like section of rides and junk food. 

Montmartre

http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/may/10/paris-with-kids-family-friendly
To visit Montmartre, we begin at the Abbesses metro station instead of Anvers, the one tourists typically use. Kids enjoy Le Mur des Je t'Aime, an enormous tiled mural with the words I Love You written in 250 languages. It's tucked into the easy-to-miss Square Jehan Rictus on the north side of Place des Abbesses.
http://www.lesjetaime.com/english/
 

Chapelle 2 km

If hungry, stop at Coquelicot at 24 rue des Abbesses a cafe with a generous terrace where hot chocolate is served in bowls, the way it's drunk at home in France. On the menu are bread and brioche smothered in butter and homemade preserves, artisan yoghurts, eggs, fresh juices and light lunches.

We walk through the Passage des Abbesses and up four intimidating flights of stairs, or alternately up stair-less rue Ravignan, a little further up. On our way towards the white domes of the Sacré-Coeur, we pass through picturesque Place Emile Goudeau, where Picasso, Matisse and Braque once lived.

I offer my girls a choice of playgrounds: compact Square Suzanne Buisson or impossibly romantic, tiered Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, better-known as Parc de la Turlure. We pause to watch the artists on Place du Tertre then wind our way to the basilica's main plaza to take in the impressive vista. Then it's time to descend the hill towards Anvers station for a metro to Buttes-Chaumont.

Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is a magical park with rocky buttes, sweeping trees, a mysterious grotto and the curious Temple de la Sibylle, mounted high atop a peak in the middle of the lake. The temple is accessed by two bridges; kids can channel their inner Indiana Jones to cross one 21m above the water or opt for the lower-lying suspension bridge. Buttes-Chaumont has a carousel, several playgrounds, a puppet theatre and picnic-friendly lawns.

Entrance to the Buttes-Chaumont park is free, but there is a charge for access to the island by boat.
from 30 September to 30 April: 7am - 8pm.

Montmartre Funicular 

http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/city-guides/free-paris-traveler/

In the shadow of the Sacré-Coeur basilica and near where Picasso lived and worked, Montmartre's Place du Tertre square is a lively spectacle teeming with aspiring artists selling souvenir-ready artwork and drawing tourists' portraits.

  

Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou - Pompidou Centre

http://mylittlenomads.com/paris-for-kids
Open daily 11am to 10pm, closed Tuesday
A good mix of indoor and outdoor activities when you’re uncertain of the weather. An indoor kids playground, a modern art gallery (that often has kid-friendly exhibits), a cinema, long glassed in escalators that hug the outside of the building, and a viewing area on the roof. There’s always lots going on here. And be sure to check out the fun and colorful Stravinsky Fountain outside the Pompidou and surrounded by street performers and cafes.

The Pompidou Center (19, rue Beaubourg, Fourth Arrondissement) has a hands-on children’s area called La Galerie des Enfants, with rotating exhibits designed by artists (one devoted to Frida Kahlo opens in mid-October). It’s free for kids; adults need a museum ticket. Add to that a brief tour of the main collections on Levels 4 and 5, a stunning view across Paris from Level 6, a jaunt through the terrific ground-floor gift shop, and lunch next door at one of the cafes opposite the fantastical Stravinsky Fountain, and you have yourself a très bonne journée.

13. Atelier Brancusi

Immerse yourself in the smooth shapes of Brancusi’s sculpture with a free visit to his recreated studio at the Pompidou Centre. The Romanian-born abstract sculptor made a name for himself with famous works like The Kiss, and this Brancusi workshop is a lovingly assembled and surprisingly intimate glimpse into the mind of an artist.

While a visit to the Pompidou Centre's main museum and exhibitions will cost you at least €10, the studio of Constantin Brancusi, in the same square, is free to visit. The revolutionary sculptor, who died in 1957, left his workshop and all its contents to the state and the Pompidou Centre had the studio taken apart and reconstructed in front of it in a modern pavilion. Visitors can get an impression of the space in which Brancusi worked, as well as see some of the work that helped redefine modern sculpture.

The Stravinsky Fountain was one of the first modern fountains in Paris. In 1983 it was installed at the Place Igor Stravinsky, right near the equally modern and eye-catching Centre Pompidou. It seems fitting that such a modern fountain is located near the most famous modern museum in Paris. Thanks to its colorful and moving sculptures the fountain quickly became a popular sight in its own right. 

http://www.travelfranceonline.com/stravinsky-fountain-near-centre-pompidou/ 
The Stravinsky Fountain consists therefore of a large shallow rectangular basin adorned with 16 sculpted fountains illustrating Stravinsky’s musical creations. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stravinsky_Fountain 
The Stravinsky Fountain is a shallow basin of 580 square meters located in Place Stravinsky, between the Centre Pompidou and the Church ofSaint-Merri. Within the basin are sixteen works of sculpture inspired by Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, and his other major works. The black mechanical pieces of sculpture are by Jean Tinguely, the colored works by Niki de Saint Phalle.

This can be surprisingly hard to find if you aren’t properly oriented (it’s in a courtyard). We ended up walking around the entire Pompidou Centre before coming across it. Facing the main entrance of the building, it will be on the right side of the building. It's whimsical and even for those who prefer more traditional art, it's much more pleasing to the eye than the Pompidou Centre itself. If you’re in the area, you may as well stop by, but not worth going out of your way just to see it.  

Paris Catacombs

http://mylittlenomads.com/paris-for-kids
This is a great attraction for understanding the history of Paris. In the late 18th century the cemeteries were a breeding ground for disease and illness. The graves were emptied and the bodies stored underneath the city in the Catacombs. There are 6 million skulls and skeletons – victims of the plague, the French Revolution and the guillotine. It isn’t as ghoulish as it sounds and most kids are not scared by the sight. My big warning here is the wait which can be anywhere from 1 hour to 4 so get here early and have some snacks (there is a McDonalds and a grocery store nearby if the kids are hungry – one parent can stay in line).

...  the clean and tidy parks sporting functioning play equipment that dot the city. Some of these are large and well known, but many are tiny little “pocket parks” that always seem to be around the next corner. My favorite is the place des Vosges where you can build a sandcastle in the shadow of 17th century housing development, entertaining the kids in a sublime architectural environment.

http://www.hostelworld.com/travel-features/155889/15-things-to-do-for-free-in-paris
This beautiful spot is actually the oldest planned square in Paris. Make your way to Place des Vosges and you’ll be able to lounge on the grass by the fountain, sit on one of the benches, watch the street performers or stroll around the square checking out the cool buildings. These include a former home of famous writer, Victor Hugo. You can also visit some of the art galleries lining the square, many of which will allow you to check out their art collections for free.

http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/city-guides/free-paris-traveler/
Victor Hugo lived at the Place des Vosges's Hôtel de Rohan-Guéménée for 16 years (1832-1848) and wrote many of his works here, including much of his epic novel, Les Misérables. Examine manuscripts and first editions at the Maison de Victor Hugo and tour his apartment, which chronicles his life before, during, and after exile. Admission is always free.
