Als de het regent zoals deze zomer dan ben ik blij dat er een binnenspeeltuin bestaat waar ik samen…read moremet mijn kinderen kan gaan genieten van het ballenbad en het parcours van tunnels en klimpalen. Je kan er eten en drinken op maat van kinderen en het regent er niet binnen. De prijs per uur valt best mee, maar met de snoep en drankjes er bij kost het je al snel 15 euro voor een middagje uit per kind.

Kinda cool castle like structures for kids but people have brought mattresses and sleeping bags and…read morelive there - prob 4 stars without the homeless encampments, 3 with random mattresses etc

Not the best children's playground we have been to by far. The castle wasn't very imaginative in…read moreits construction, in how children could access it or how it would ignite children's imaginations. It smelled like urine in parts and there were cigarette butts all over the place. The sand was the best feature but some of the sand features were broken and there were no tools with which to scoop the sand with to use the features that weren't broken, which was a shame. I wouldn't make an effort to visit it again as there are better parks in Brussels. We quite liked Parc Bonnevie near Flanders. On the upside, the gardens near the children's play park were a great space for our little ones to run around and climb things, they were much more stimulated here. It is also about 10 mins walk from the Eurostar terminal and if you have an hour kill with your kids before your train leaves it's worth going there to expend some energy.

The "musée des enfants" is a place I discovered fairly quickly when I moved to Brussels. Simply…read morebecause I live almost next to it. When I say discovered, I should specify the gardens. There is a public playground outside, which is open daily until 1800 if I a not mistaken. There are swings of all sizes, slides, and a few goats (behind a grid) that will entertain any young child. Now this year we were looking for a location to celebrate my son's 6th birthday, and they offer very nice all inclusive packages (animation, cake and drinks), I know it is available in French and Dutch and strongly believe it is possible in english. The entertainment is provided by young adults that browse through various rooms of the museum where different themes are on displays. The worlds cultural differences, the cycle of life, etc... the displays are well conceived and the level of detail provided by the leader is adapted to the audience. The ONLY weak point is that the museum is a real classic for schools in Brussels, so you might be confronted with a group of kids who have already seen everything;-) But they do renew the displays on a bi-yearly basis.

My wife planned to pass by this park during our walking day tour of Brussels. Without any…read moreexpectations, the first impression I got from this public garden was that of London's Hyde Park, which we had the pleasure of visiting a week before. It wasn't crowded on Saturday morning when we passed through. This was a soak it in moment upon seeing the serenity amid the bustling chaos during the wekeday. I marveled at the comical sculptures of Geluck's Le Chat (The Cat) as well as the older figures situated in the vicinity. Snapped a lot of photos is what I did.

Like many places in Europe, there are no free public toilets, however there is a portable bathroom with attendants available for 50 cents.
