Things to Do in Brussels with Children

Despite the popular beliefs, Brussels is not only a place for Euroburocrats and yuppies, but also a great place for family activity. Below you will find a few tips about what is worth to be seen and explored.

·        Mini Europe is one of the best places for family fun: the park is nearby Brussels, and has buildings from all over Europe reduced in 1/25 scale, so if you want to show your kids the Eiffel tower or the Vatican you should go there. Plan to spend about an hour in the park.

·        The Oceade is close to Mini Europe. Oceade is a huge subtropical swimming pool with both open air and covered zones, having no less than 11 water slides. The water park is part of a larger complex named Bruparck, where tourists can choose from several tourist attractions, restaurants and a movie theater.

·        The Atomium is not very far away, and the good news is that the facility was refurbished recently. The Atomium was built with the occasion of the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair: the monument is 102 metres tall, and its nine interconnected steel spheres form the shape of an iron crystal. The spheres contain exhibit halls and other public spaces, while at the top of the sphere there is an observation deck with beautiful views of the city.

·        The Aquarium Public de Bruxelles has all kinds of sea creatures from around the world. Visitors can explore the aquatic world of all continents on Earth. The aquarium can be found in the heart of Brussels.

·        The Musee des Enfants (Childrens Muesum) teaches kids about themselves, helping them to discover their senses, feelings and talents. The museum helps them to play and create.

·        The Musee du Cacao et du Chocolat (Chocolate Museum) is a small, but very interesting museum. Kids can lear everything about how the chocolate is produced and how cocoa arrived in Europe. There is also a chocolate factory in the building where they can taste a piece of biscuit dipped in fresh chocolate.
