Our experience with Headout was smooth and well organized. We visited Level 2 of the Science and Industry Museum, including the planetarium, which lasts about 45 minutes and starts exactly on time with a pre-booked time slot. We were there with two children aged 12 and 6, and both were fully engaged. There was so much to see that we could easily spend the whole day there. Highly recommended for families.

The toys were very good and very reliable. The only downside was that the first part was only for children. I think there are toys that appeal to younger children. Also, all the activities like the parade and seeing the characters were in the second part, which I was disappointed about. The musicals for children were also very nice.

Skipping the line at the start. The audio guides made the museum experience great. Seeing the Mona Lisa but moreover the large painting behind it depicting the wedding where Jesus performed his first miracle.

That day it was almost impossible to get entrance tickets at Versalles, thanks to Headout my family and I were able to get in and enjoy this beautiful palace. It was really easy to access the entrance tickets, had no problem entering. Favorite place: room of mirrors

With the pre-purchased ticket, you could enter the castle immediately and there was no waiting time. That was great. I can totally recommend Praktisch. The castle is beautiful, everything on site is clean and tidy.

Having visited Paris several times over the years, I decided to take the family along. Knowing the queues for the museum we booked the fast track (timed) tickets and on arrival were thankful for doing so. The (normal) queue was several hundred metres in length. Whilst the fast track did not give you immediate entry, it was well worth paying the extra. We waited approximately 15 minutes. The museum itself was simply stunning and was able to enthuse our two boys also. On reflection I would probably start on the top floor (5th I believe) and work our way down. I have always been a fan of Impressionism and seeing the actual pieces of artwork that I have had hanging at home gave me goose bumps. Give yourself a minimum of two hours for the visit but realistically 3 hours would be best.
