How Baby-Friendly is Musée des miniatures et décors du cinéma?

View Map

What makes it 63% Baby-Friendly: Infants enter free and strollers fit the lift, but narrow aisles, dim sound-effect rooms, and no confirmed changing table or nursing space make visits shorter and less comfortable.

Positives:

  • Stroller accessible: The museum has an elevator and wide ramps; you can bring your stroller into all galleries.
  • Free baby entry: Children under 4 enter at no charge—no ticket needed for your baby.
  • Baby-carrier loan: In tight spaces, staff lend a free baby carrier so you can fold your stroller.

Walking through this museum felt like stepping straight back into my childhood (I was born in the mid-80s), and it was nothing short of magical. From Star Wars to Batman 1989, from Aliens to Beetlejuice, the collection is packed with iconic treasures that instantly spark memories of the films that defined an era. According to one of the staff, the Darth Vader mask here is the only original one on...

However, if I were into them I can guarantee this is an amazing place to visit. Just f...

Incredible and unique museum. They have some really cool pieces from films, which are still interesting to look at even if you haven’t seen them. The miniature section was a good surprise also—they are so detailed and realistic! While it is a bit on the more expensive side, it’s worth it and it is an independent business.

AMAZING! I think should be a must do when you visit Lyon with kids or just if you like movies and a different type of art. They have created incredible mini and real size scenes from movies and normal life things! A different way to know history as well! We went without tickets and ending paying less because they have a family packet. If you are 2 adults and one or more kids, it is definitely ch...
