Parents play too
At Minivalia, parents do not sit on the bench: they put their socks on and join the game. Shopping at the mini-supermarket, running the crêperie counter, stepping onto the theatre stage, that is where the best memories are made.
Your adult ticket is a ticket to play.

The concept
What is Minivalia?
Minivalia is an immersive indoor play park designed for children. In a colourful, safe world, your kids explore spaces built to their scale, play, imagine and live real adventures alongside our characters. It's the perfect family outing, whatever the Breton weather!
From what age, and up to what age?
Minivalia is designed mainly for children aged 3 to 12. The little ones (0 to 2) have a cosy, secure area reserved just for them, while older kids make the most of every world. The experience is usually richest once a child walks and starts imitating grown-ups.
Who are the Minivalia characters?
Minivalia is also a cheerful band of nine residents who guide the children through their adventures: Mimi, Alma, Bolt, Stella, Malo, Lila, Maxi, Oscar and Flora. Each has their own personality and world, so every child finds a favourite.
Is it educational?
Yes! At Minivalia, you learn by playing. By stepping into the shoes of different characters and exploring our worlds, children build their imagination, independence, motor skills and social skills while having fun, and away from screens. Meeting real professionals is one of the surprises still to come.
How long does a visit last?
One entry gives access to the park for 2 hours, matching your booked slot. On arrival, you receive a coloured wristband: its colour matches your slot and helps our team spot you easily. Want to stay longer? The silver wristband (see the Prices section) adds 1 extra hour of play, if attendance allows.
Can an adult come without a child, or the other way round?
Minivalia is a family outing. A child must always be accompanied by an adult of legal age, and an adult cannot enter alone without a child to accompany. A minor cannot accompany another minor. On the other hand, one adult may accompany several children, and several adults may accompany a single child.
What is the parents’ role on site?
You are welcome to join the game! At Minivalia, we encourage parents and carers to share these moments with the children: cheer them on, spark their play, take photos. Children remain under the responsibility and supervision of the accompanying adult throughout the visit.
Booking & tickets
Do I need to book?
Booking is strongly recommended. The park welcomes a limited number of visitors per slot, for safety and everyone’s comfort. Booking guarantees your spot at the time you want.
How do I book?
In a few clicks on our website, you pick the day, the time slot and the number of participants, then pay online. A confirmation email is sent to you.
Can I come without a booking?
If spots are still available on the slot, you can buy your tickets directly on site. Careful though: when the park is full, we cannot welcome visitors without a booking. It’s best to book ahead, especially on weekends and during school holidays. You can also phone the park team to check real-time attendance.
What happens if I arrive late or early?
If you arrive early and the previous slot isn’t full, you can enter right away. If it’s full, you’ll wait until your slot time. If you arrive late, your visit time runs from the booked time (subject to availability).
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Yes, you can change your date or slot at least 24 h before your planned visit. The new slot depends on availability. No refund is possible, but a credit note valid for 1 year lets you reuse your entry ticket. In line with the law, dated leisure services are excluded from the 14-day right of withdrawal (article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code). For any request, email us with your booking number.
Prices & visit length
How much is entry?
The price depends on age and season. Here is our standard price list, for 2 hours of access.
What is the Extra hour option?
The Extra hour is one more hour of free play in the park, on top of your session. It costs 50 % of the entry price per person (depending on the age bracket) and is only available on site, at the front desk, before your session ends. We hand you a silver wristband and off the children go again! Good to know: it is an option, offered within the limits of the park's capacity. It cannot be booked in advance, but the front desk will tell you straight away whether it is possible.
Do adults and babies pay?
An accompanying-adult rate applies to adults. Little ones below a certain age enter free. Exact amounts are in the table above.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Online: card. On site: card and cash.
On the day
How does arrival work?
At reception, our team checks your booking and hands everyone a wristband in your slot’s colour. You then leave your shoes in the space provided, and the adventure can begin: your child freely chooses the worlds to explore!
Are socks compulsory?
Yes. The visit is shoe-free, for everyone’s hygiene and comfort: socks are compulsory for children and adults alike, ideally non-slip. Remember to pack some (socks are also on sale at reception if needed).
Are strollers allowed?
For the comfort and safety of all our little explorers, strollers are not allowed in the park. Of course, the littlest ones are still welcome in your arms or a baby carrier!
Can we take photos and videos?
Of course, capture these lovely family moments! There’s even a photo spot to share your best shots. We simply ask that you don’t photograph or film other children without their parents’ consent.
The snack-café
Is there anything to eat on site?
Yes! Our snack-café welcomes you with hot and cold drinks, snacks and treats for young and old. Ideal for a snack break or to relax while the children play.
What’s on the menu?
We care about showcasing Breton and local producers. On the menu, among others: Krogen coffee, Bret's crisps, Ker Cadélac biscuits, Giffard syrups, Flavie's & Co cookies, Breizh Pom' fruit purées and Filles de l'Ouest / Récolt drinks. Other products are added to suit every taste, but quality stays a priority.
Can we bring our own food?
To keep the park hygienic and clean, outside food isn’t allowed, except for bottles, baby jars and fruit purées for babies. For everything else, our snack-café is here to treat you! (See also the Birthdays section about cakes.)
How do you handle food allergies?
We display the allergens in our products and our team is here to help. For a severe allergy, don’t hesitate to tell us at reception.
Birthdays & private hire
Can we celebrate a birthday at Minivalia?
Absolutely! Minivalia is the dream spot for a magical birthday, stress-free for parents. We offer several formulas and options to suit every wish (and every budget). Head to the Birthday page, coming soon.
How many children can we invite?
Each formula includes a minimum number of children (6). For groups over 20 children, please contact us directly for better planning.
How do I book a birthday?
Contact us or book online, ideally several weeks ahead to pick your date. For payment, we ask for a 50% deposit at booking. The balance is paid on the day at the till.
Can we bring our own cake and decorations?
A homemade birthday cake is welcome, it’s the tradition! But if you’d like, and with one week’s notice, we offer a birthday cake made by a local professional baker.
Can we hire the whole park privately?
Full or partial private hire is possible for an event, a works council or a special occasion. Write to us and we’ll build your project together.
Safety, hygiene & access
Is the park safe?
Safety is our absolute priority. Our spaces and equipment are designed and maintained to the standards for public-access venues, and our team oversees every slot. Children remain under the supervision of the accompanying adult. Several Minivalia team members are trained in first aid and hygiene standards.
Is the park clean? How is cleaning handled?
We place great importance on hygiene: the spaces are cleaned regularly. Wearing socks and the shoe ban also help.
Is the park accessible for people with reduced mobility?
Our reception areas, the snack-café and the main walkways are accessible for people with reduced mobility. However, not all our play structures are adapted: some involve climbing or moving at height, so the experience may be limited for a child in a wheelchair. The best thing is to contact us before your visit: we’ll tell you exactly what’s accessible and do our best to prepare your visit.
Is the park heated / air-conditioned?
Yes! You’ll always be warm in winter and cool in summer.
Groups, schools & pros
Do you welcome schools, nurseries, childminders and leisure centres?
Yes, we offer dedicated slots for groups: schools, nurseries, leisure centres, childminders. Contact us to organise your visit.
Do you offer deals for works councils?
Yes, gladly! We happily study any request from a works council, a local authority or an association: preferential-rate tickets, group outings, private days, bespoke events. Every project is different, so it’s best to write to us with your needs.
Gift cards, loyalty & news
Do you offer gift cards?
They’re on the way! Our gift cards are coming very soon, a lovely way to gift a family outing to Minivalia. In the meantime, subscribe to La Gazette (our newsletter) and follow us on social media to hear the moment they launch.
Is there a membership or loyalty programme?
Not yet, but it’s brewing! We’re preparing a programme to reward our most loyal citizens. Stay connected via La Gazette and our social media: you’ll be the first to know.
How do I stay up to date?
Subscribe to La Gazette, our newsletter, for news, events and good deals. Follow us on social media too!
