An immersive birthday party

From the age of 9, amaze your child with an interactive visit thanks to the Histopad tablet, available at the châteaux d’Amboise, Loches and Chinon. With augmented reality, they’ll travel back in time and enjoy a fun and educational experience.

At the parc des Mini-Châteaux, they’ll have to solve riddles to find the key to the birthday room… May the force be with them!

Children and animals: a winning combination!

If your child loves animals, there are several venues that are perfect for an original party. At the poney-club Touraine Cheval, children share a special moment with the ponies. At theReserve de Beaumarchais, a safari-train takes them to meet large farm animals. The Grand Aquarium de Touraine offers a “Corsair” package with treasure hunt, creative workshop and birthday snack. For a farm party, head to the ferme du Vazereau, near Chinon, where children can take part in farming activities.

A birthday full of adventure and thrills

At Luynes, the école du cirque Gorget introduces children to the circus arts, between balance and skill. Loisirs Centre, in Anché, offers original activities such as footbulle, laser game or an interactive quest, on site or at home.

For those who love a challenge, opt for a session of patinoire in Tours, a match at the Five, a laser game, an outing accrobranche at the lacs de Rillé, Chemillé-sur-Indrois or Bretonnières, at the Gadawi Park in Tours Nord, in the forest of Chinon or at the parc Saint-Benoît Aventure.

The more intrepid will enjoy climbing at Arkose and Block’Out, or trampolining at New Jump Tours.
