Baby care and facilities

Disneyland Paris is well-equipped to meet the needs of families with babies and toddlers, making it easier to enjoy a stress-free day.

Baby Care Centers: Located in both parks, these quiet, well-maintained areas offer changing tables, nursing rooms, and microwaves to warm bottles or baby food.
Stroller Rentals: Available at the entrance of each park for a fee. Ideal if you don’t want to carry your own or if your child tires out mid-day.
High Chairs & Kids’ Menus: Most restaurants inside the parks provide high chairs and offer kid-friendly meals that are portioned and seasoned appropriately.
Baby-Friendly Attractions: Several gentle rides (like It’s a Small World, Le Pays des Contes de Fées) have no height limits and are suitable for babies if accompanied by an adult.
Parent Switch Service: Also called Baby Switch, this allows parents to take turns on thrill rides without waiting in line twice, especially useful when one adult stays with the baby.
Rest Areas & Shade: You’ll find shaded benches, green spaces, and quiet areas (like near Liberty Arcade) that are perfect for mid-day breaks or naptime.

Tips for visiting with kids

Bring a stroller: Even older kids get tired after a long day. You can rent one at the park or bring your own.
Pack snacks and water: While food is available, having familiar snacks on hand can help avoid meltdowns.
Download the Disneyland Paris app: Check wait times, show schedules, and find the nearest restrooms and kid-friendly dining.
Stay close to the park: Disney Hotels and nearby partner hotels offer early park access and child-friendly amenities, and you will also avoid long commutes.
Use Baby Switch: If you're with another adult, you can take turns on rides while one stays with the kids, without waiting twice.
