This place is about a 35 min drive from my house but I don't mind at all. I enjoyed our visit here…read moreand I see several visits in the future, perhaps even a birthday party for my kids. It has several play areas indoor...bounce houses, slides, climbing, toddler area with balls, riding cars. Plenty of seating along the whole place, allowing the grown ups to sit nearby as the kids go crazy. The outdoors is closed during winter months and reopen in April. That includes log rides, petting zoo, a few exhibitions of animals, playground, mini golf and other rides. They offer a decent deletion of food...burgers, tapas, salads, nuggets, fries, cheese/salami platters, steak. The drink menu includes alcoholic beverages...beers, wines and cocktails.

What a day at Pairi Daiza! A group of 9 of us all met up - and I'm impressed with how smooth the…read moreday was, and the overall experience. It felt like a theme park instead of a zoo. We arrived 945am to get a parking spot - and the lot was already filling up before it officially opens at 10am. Definitely arrive around 930am if you want to be in the lot closest to the entrance. They also have many accessible parking spots close to the entrance. There is tons of parking though, you might just have to walk a bit. We were with my sister in law who is in a wheelchair, so I was initially apprehensive about the limitations she might face. However, in the end, she had a really good time and loved it. First thing is that they actually have on their website a map specifically for wheelchair users. It reccomends a specific route that will make sure you see almost everything in the park, and not face barriers like stairs. They have a mix of elevators, and ramps through the park. Some of the ramps are a little steep, keep this in mind. My sister in law has an electric wheelchair, so she was able to get up and down the ramps. Yes, there are a few parts of the park that are inaccessible, but the park is so large you wouldn't really be missing anything. We stayed from 10am until 7pm (closing), and still had way more to see. You can bring your own food and water into the park, and I would reccomend this to save money. We did a mix - we ate at the outdoor African themed pavilion, and the food was good. Definitely bring lots of water as there are no water fountains. The park is split into two sections - Pairi Daiza (main park) , and a newer section Edenya. Where as the main park is almost entirely outside, Edenya is in a large glass paneled building. Edenya ticket is extra, but I was worth it. We probably spent most of time here actually. I can't believe we walked for almost 9 hours, but we couldn't stop, the whole experience was so engaging. Now time for sleep!

There is a cool selection of random animals including porcupines, guinea pigs, monkeys, lamas, and more. My favorite was the peacocks that just walk around zoo wherever they please. This is not the most amazing zoo of course, but it's fun and somewhere that you can be with locals and not feel like such a tourist.

Actually that should could for a lot because even though it is free doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad, and this zoo is a good example of that. Okay, the collection isn't all that big, but there are some impressive animals here, including a repitle house. However because the reptile house is usually dark, you generally have to wait to be permitted entrance namely because they don't actually have one of those dark room entrances. Still, it was pretty cool.

Food is available, fairly affordable, and generally very convenient and child friendly. If you live in the area, an annual pass pays itself in 3 visits, especially when you consider that parking fees are including in the pass. The sister, and better known zoo is in Antwerp, and it also merits a visit. This one, however, is covers much more ground and keeps kids entertained in all sorts of ways.

One of my mother's favorites, geraniums, grow around 1.5 meters in the greenhouse! I have never seen them grow so tall. It is truly breathtaking to see. If you have an afternoon or morning free, whether tourist or native of Belgium/Brussels, I suggest taking a look here! Make sure to go quickly, it is only open 3 weeks out of the year...price is 2,5 eur per person and under 18 is free (family friendly!). I went the second day it was open and the weather was gorgeous, surprisingly, the lines and crowds were not bad in the least.

We were the first people in line and therefore most of our pictures do not have other visitors in them. I suggest getting there early as this place seemed to fill up fairly quickly. All of the flowers were in full bloom and the architecture of the glasshouses is breathtaking. Not only was this place visually stunning, but the aroma of all of the fresh flowers really took the experience over the top. No perfume or cologne could ever match the scents that all of these flowers naturally produce. Exotic and vibrantly colored flowers cover the greenhouses from the floors to their ceilings. I would definitely recommend planning your trip to Brussels around the time of the year when this place is open to the public. It's definitely an experience that I will never forget!
