What would you recommend as a program for my visit when I come to the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie?

La Villette brings together several institutions including the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, the Parc de la Villette, the Grande Halle, the Zénith, the Cité de la Musique - Philharmonie de Paris etc. The Cité des sciences et de l'industrie should therefore not be confused with the entire park.
