MAMCO is a contemporary art museum, so the outing is more about looking, reacting and talking than following a child-specific attraction. It can work with curious older kids if you keep the visit short and treat the artworks as conversation starters.
The Chateau de Voltaire is a heritage visit around the writer Voltaire and his estate. It is more of a cultural stop than a play activity, so it suits families who can enjoy rooms, gardens and a short history-based visit.
