Do NOT go up this on a hot sunny day. It’s a glass ball that collects solar gain and is like a sauna. There is no window so the sphere is stifling and it’s difficult to breathe. Fortunately it’s a short ride. Don’t do this if you are claustrophobic.

A brilliant way to see Grenoble, even better at the Citadel at the top.

Téléphérique Grenoble - Bastille in Grenoble is a breathtaking experience not to be missed. The cable car ride offers stunning panoramic views of Grenoble making it a must-do for visitors. The cable car takes you to the historic Bastille fortress, where you can explore history, enjoy delicious dining options, and even embark on mountain hikes. Whether you're into history or simply seeking natural beauty, this attraction delivers an unforgettable five-star experience.

Worth every visit! The view is breathtaking as well as the cable car ride. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture every single moment of your ride! When you reach the top, you will remember this review.

I loved the cable car ride and the nice view that you get. Although the ride is for very short duration, riding it by using day tourist pass is affordable. The view from the hill top is very nice and one can see the entire Grenoble and the snow covered (partly/fully depending on weather) hills. There is a nice meandering jogging way down. If you have time definitely try it to get a different type of hiking experience in the city .

Surprisingly for a Monday there was quite a queue for tickets. Each cable car bubble is pretty small so it felt a bit crowded but always safe. At the top there are great views of the mountains and the city of Grenoble. A few caves to visit too.

Worth the trip up to see this historical city. Make sure you walk down to see so much more. The steps were best unless you have hiking shoes, as the Rick's in the road are sharp.

Fantastic, very touristy nowadays but there are still some hidden gems that are quiet but you’ll need a car to find them (one was through an industrial estate so very hidden). Restaurants are great and people very friendly

This would have been beautiful in the right weather. It was just our luck that we arrived in the height of Summer, at the end of a heatwave and were met with heavy rain and thunderstorms o the water didn't have its famous greenish-blue hue. It is a lovely natural beauty surrounded by mountains.

I was just remembering how much we loved it there last year. My son and I rented bikes and went all around the lake. We also got a pedal boat and took a swim. Saw some young people doing a rope swing jump and did that too. Fabulous.

I took a day trip from Lyon, a great place, I'm sorry I only stayed one day, it's definitely worth 2-3 days! A place not to be missed if you're in the area!

It is a MUST to go, partying, water scakating, swimming and lots of boat cruises around the great lake surrounded by magnificent mountains. 30 min away and your up amongst snowy mountains as early as September.

Absolutely breathtaking! The lake is crystal clear and surrounded by stunning mountains. Perfect for swimming, cycling, and relaxing. Annecy is truly a gem — Can’t wait to return

We love Annecy, always a good spot to relax and enjoy the nature! Great views and lovely people!

Er had a very good time in Walibi Rhone-Alpes. The rides are good. The new ride Mahuka ist awesome. The new water-play area is nicely designed with a lot of nice details. I loved the effort in the details of the new area and ride. The other rides in the park makes also a lot of fun. Only the Show LE POUVOIR DE GAÏA do not fit in the entertainment Level with the park. The actors and stuntman are good in their jobs, but the show and story was for kids. There’s a few nice effects and two major stunts, but that’s all. There’s also a few fight choreographies that I saw in other parks better, and to many chatting. And only one Charakter speaks live. I know that shows with these concept runs better, but the entertainment is suffers under these conditions. And the stage is awesome, there so many options to bring that show to a new level of entertainment with the crew and the stage. Please use the chance. All the Employees, at the entrance, the security, in the Shops and at the attractions are very friendly. The Park was not busy at the day but the employees are fast at the attractions so we had only a few minutes to wait. It is nice to see, that the employees working fast at rollercoasters leading to a high guest throughput. As I said, the show-crew is good, but the show must more entertain adults and must have more action.

We visited the park on a mid-week day in August. Overall, it was fun — a bit crowded, but still manageable. Several rides offer a single-rider line, which can significantly reduce wait times. It’s also a good idea to follow the advertised wait times for each ride and plan accordingly. We purchased a ticket that included lunch, which was a nice option and worth it. However, there were a few drawbacks: some rides only open around midday, which is unfortunate, especially on busy days. The weather was hot, but there wasn’t enough shade throughout the park, and there were too few water fountains available for refilling bottles.

Nice amusement park with a good variation of attractions. Several attractions for the small children (also a great water play park), and also nice roal coasters for the dare devils.

Amazing park, extremely high quality coasters. Very friendly staff! The rides are unique and all of them are special and much more intense than the ones at other and bigger theme parks. All of them are unique and you have the possibility to try 3 completely different ride experiences, one of them being an incredibly smooth Vekoma Boomerang.

As I visited almost 200 theme parks Walibi Rhone-Alpes is one of my all time favorite theme parks. I visited it for the fist time two years back with roller coaster club and I was amazed by everything right after I entered the park. I was curious if my impression will be the same when I travelled alone this time. And it was even better. Very friendly staff was giving me small talk on security check, at Mystic station and even Mahuka station. Just because I was wearing my Walibi Holland T-shirt. The park is not big, everything feels very close. The park does not focuse on quatity or size/scale but on quality which I am a huge fan of. Food is delicious. High dive show is very impressive. Theming around Mahuka and Mystic is phenomenal. This park know where to invest and how to run park well. Parking is included in your admission. Number one park in France. No discussion. Highly recommended. Thank you very much for having me. :)

Walibi Rhône-Alpes is a small but beautiful theme park that has flourished in the past few years. The addition of Mystic in 2019 put this park on the map, and the new for 2024 Mahuka gave it a well-rounded ride lineup. Although this park seems to cater more towards families, you can have a lot of fun here as a thrill seeker. Getting to the park with a car is fine, as long as you don't get stuck with some of the closed roads in the area. Getting here with public transport is seemingly impossible, but the parking is free. The park is clean and tidy and has three little themed areas that you can explore. The theming is not out of this world, but I did really like the uniqueness of the Mystic area. The rides are unexpectedly good. Mystic is smooth and fun, although the wait can get annoying when they run it on one train. Mahuka is amazing fun and also has a great capacity considering the trains only hold 9 people. The baggage system is unconventional, but it worked. I also really liked the offering of the Mahuka pass, which was limited to one per person per day so that everyone could have the chance to experience this ride at least once. The only problem I had with this park was the food. There is a beautiful almost restaurant just outside Mystic and we should have just eaten there. Instead, we got some chicken tenders with fries, and those weren't great. This is still an amazing park, and the low height requirements make it perfect for aspiring thrill seekers. I am excited to see what the future holds for Walibi Rhône-Alpes.

I recently visited this amusement park, and I have to say it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. The roller coaster queues were absolutely ridiculous—over 1.5 hours for a ride that lasted only 3 minutes! It's hard to believe that in this day and age, a theme park can't manage its lines better. To make matters worse, we noticed that some of the seats were marked as "disabled," which seemed like a lazy excuse for lack of proper maintenance. It gave the impression that the park is more focused on profits than on providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Speaking of profits, the fast track tickets for over €7 per ride felt like an outright scam, exploiting the long wait times instead of addressing the underlying issues. It’s frustrating to see a park take advantage of its visitors like that. When we finally got hungry and decided to grab a bite, the situation only got worse. The lines for the fast food restaurants were just as long—about an hour wait for some of the worst cheeseburgers I've ever had. They were cold, seemed precooked, and honestly tasted like they had been sitting in a fridge for days. I've had better quality food at gas stations! To top it all off, the security personnel were rude and unhelpful when we had a simple question. It was clear that customer service was not a priority for them. Overall, I left the park feeling frustrated and cheated. With such long waits, poor food quality, and a lack of courteous staff, I cannot recommend this amusement park to anyone looking for a fun day out. Save your money and go somewhere that values its guests!

Excellent and educational time spent at this Chocolate Museum. We were signed up for a chocolate and wine tasting which took place in a classroom with both a wine and chocolate expert. Learned so much about the different kinds and qualities of the chocolate they produce. Each piece was paired with a complementary wine. A GREAT experience. The museum itself is easy to walk through and understand - highly recommend this experience for chocolate lovers (my bride) and not-so-much chocolate lovers like me.

I had the most wonderful experience at La Cité du Chocolat Valrhona. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history and craftsmanship that Valrhona is known for worldwide. The exhibits are interactive, educational, and full of surprises — perfect whether you’re a chocolate lover or just curious about the journey from cacao bean to finished creation. The highlight for me was the tasting experience. Pairing Valrhona’s incredible chocolates with wines from Cave de Tain was unforgettable — a perfect balance that truly reflects the richness of the Rhône Valley. This is more than a visit; it’s a celebration of heritage, flavor, and passion. Absolutely worth the stop if you’re in the region.

Visited the shop after reading about the chocolate and seeing some of the reviews. The chocolate is lovely and the chocolate shop is well laid out. Samples are available to help you choose although they are so tasty that they may make your choice even harder. We selected a cross range of the individual chocolates from behind the counter after sampling some on the way in. The young lady who assisted us from behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. She made suggestions and allowed us plenty of time to choose. Fabulous experience. Hubby waited outside with our dog , having noticed this the lady at the shop reception counter (providing some samples) went out to give him a sample. The chocolate is Devine the shop was lovely and the staff are even better.

One of the worst experiences i have ever had, totally not worth it. The entrance fees should be 2 euros maximum not 40 euros for a small family with absolutely no return, and the prices in the boutique is over rated. Other than the long journey, it was a total waste of money and time.

Pretty cool chocolate museum. It's modern and high tech. There's interactive videos and emersive displays. You also get chocolate samples so you can learn what real quality chocolate tastes like. My only complaint is that now other chocolates will always be waxy inferior chocolate compared to Valrhona chocolate.

Tip: Bring a bag! Really fun and educational chocolate ‘factory’ with lots of chocolates as free giveaway. A bit smaller than other chocolate factory. But all of the animations and techs were working well. Can get a bit busy as the screens were interactive whilst sampling chocolates. Kids get a special ‘treasure’ hunt quest and free gift at the end! There’s also a little quiet playroom at the end of the visit just before the cafe - for those who wish to have a little quiet time.

If you enjoy a good piece of chocolate, the museum is definitely worth a visit! The place is rather small, but there is definitely a lot to read and discover, also for children! Make sure to be ready for some tastings and don't miss out on the staff's presentations! It was very enjoyable :)

One of those places you come upon and it blows you away. The creation of a magnificent structure over 33years by a postman which leaves its legacy for others to see. His quaint messages for life are significant in today's world

Very interesting surreal place to visit and explore. There are lots of intricate and whimsical details to look at and enjoy. It's really cool to see one person's dedication to building something that he dreamt about and put his life efforts into.

Stunning project of a very dedicated postman. Truly a place to let your imagination take flight.

Le Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval, or the Ideal palace of postman Cheval. This place is a hidden gem of the art i like. Do you like Escher, Dali, and Gaudi? Then you will enjoy this 'Palace'. Don't be fooled, though. It's not that big or will keep you interested for an entire day, but it is a must-see if you are in the neighborhood.

Cool castle made of polished stones, worth a detour. A colossal solo work of 33 years by the horse mail man.

sadly no dog allowed (would be enough if they could go to the garden, but not inside the castle). small, today was a bit overcrowded, despite a weekday, but interesting place. the shop is disappointing, I didn't find anything ehat I liked and I buy usually in these shops something. buy your ticket in advance, so you get in quicker. enough free parking slots.

Very beautiful, naive art is awesome. It is a fantasy place, a place which shows, that all the dream can come true.

Great value for six people very reasonable Enjoy the restaurant, good n easy. Nice Swiss feel.

Dinner with team after congres day. 2 had filets de perche this fish filets were baked with a tartare sauce nothing to have a waw feeling. 1 penne ciocarna ( see picture) also no real wow effect missong of spices and 1 spaghetti fruits de mer seems was ok. white swiss wine could be better. Service 2 people avetage. Thats why give a 3

Really good pizza, I recommend the « jet d’eau pizza » Only bad fact is that the crust was too thin.

Staff were really friendly and accommodating despite a language barrier. I was even given a free salad! Food was some of the best me and my friends have ever had and is well priced. The restaurant atmosphere was incredible as well. We all agreed we would absolutely eat here again 👍

Had a wonderful lunch here! The waiters were very friendly, and the food was delicious and served quickly :) Very generous toppings on the pizza!

I am travelling for work. Great food and even better people. Seems like a family owned business. I had the pugliese pizza and was amazing. But hey!! Be careful with the spicy oil they offer 🥵very hot

The food was delicious and the waiters really helpful to translate to English for us. They even had a English menu. The place was warm and the pizza oven in the heart of the restaurant. It felt like an authentic Italian family business.

Impressive cathedral in the old town area with lots of period buildings around it. On a bit of a raised area but an easy walk up. Quiet, peaceful, can sit for as long as one likes. Free to enter, as it should be, but is not in some places. Different parts obviously built/added/repaired/rebuilt at different times, which is always interesting. Well worth a visit.

Undoubtedly, this is a majestic cathedral in the heart of Geneva, with stunning Gothic architecture and a historic stone façade. The church is very well preserved, and from its current state, you can almost imagine the grandeur it must have had 1,000 years ago. Inside, the serene atmosphere, detailed sculptures, and beautiful architectural features make it a remarkable place to explore. A must-visit for anyone interested in history or architecture.

Visiting St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva was truly memorable. One of the highlights for me was climbing the 160 steps to the top of the tower. The stairwell is narrow and may be a little intimidating for some, but the effort is completely worth it. Once at the top, you’re rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Geneva and the surrounding area—perfect for photography enthusiasts. The cathedral also has a small shop where you can browse a selection of cards and postcards as a memento of your visit. Inside and out, the cathedral offers plenty of opportunities for taking beautiful photos, from its impressive architecture to the breathtaking vistas from the tower. Despite the slightly nerve-wracking climb, it’s an experience I’d highly recommend.

This cathedral is a highlight located in the center of Geneva's old town. The top offers a great view over the city and the lake. I recommend combining a visit with a walk to the beautiful nearby square "Place-Du-Bourg-de-Four" (my favourite place in old town). Take a break there for a snack and a drink. Enjoy!

I always try to visit at least one church during my travels, though sometimes it doesn’t work out. I’m so glad I made it to this cathedral—it was actually one of the reasons I wanted to visit Geneva in the first place. I’d heard about the 157-step spiral staircase, and let’s just say I realized how out of shape I was while climbing it! But I made it, and it was absolutely worth it. Such a beautiful piece of history to experience. The fee to go up is currently at 7chp.

The "Nothing to Photograph in ..." series has made its way to Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève, highlighting its serene interior and breathtaking views from the towers. I highly recommend exploring this historic gem. Follow me to discover your next destination.

Excellent 360° views of the city, lake & mountains. The stairs were in a very good condition compared to other church towers in Europe. The entrance price was included in our tourist city pass so it's a very much worthwhile visit.

Safari is best part! You can spend whole day with kids here. Each part of the zoo is worth to visit. Super clean and all the animals are healthy. It shows they are really good in their job. Great place to visit once.

Very beautiful and friendly safari and park. 3h really worth your time. Even the cantine food was acceptable which is pretty rare.

Wow Safari Peaugres is a fantastic destination, especially for families. We had a wonderful time exploring the park — it’s well-designed, spacious, and offers a unique opportunity to observe animals up close in a semi-wild environment. One of the highlights was being able to drive through the safari section in our own car. Watching animals like zebras, giraffes, and ostriches roaming freely just a few feet away was an unforgettable experience. The park is very well-managed, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They ensured everything was safe and easy to navigate. Even without a car, the rest of the park offers plenty to see on foot, including impressive enclosures for lions, bears, and other wild animals. The walking trails are clearly marked, and there are informative signs about the animals, which make it both fun and educational for kids and adults alike. What we appreciated most was the thoughtful layout and the effort taken to provide a natural habitat for the animals. Clean facilities, well-placed rest areas, and food options made the whole visit comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Wow Safari Peaugres to anyone looking for a fun and enriching day out — with or without a car!

Great place with children. My 7 year old daughter had fun. Car safari took an hour. Moderately crowded for the weekend but manageable. The safari on foot is huge so takes around 4/5 hours to complete with the Animals kept in their natural habitats. A few food and drink options but be prepared to queue.

Excellent safari. Incredible views and great respect to the animals. Thumbs up for the guidance with incredible information and insights for each animal.

A renowned zoo located in Peaugres, this area is one of the largest safari parks in EU and is home of over thousands animals from various species. People can discover the park by car or on foot to see animals like elephants, lions, giraffes and more. It also offers educational activities for children.

The parc was very nice. A lot of animals to see. In the zoo we loved the mansion with the bats and stuff and we loved the part with the lions and tigers. The safari part of the parc, was great to see too. One of the beats stood up against our car. Luckily no damage, so it was nice to see it so upclose. It was nice that you could park your car in the shade underneath the solarpowered roof. For lunch a lot was sold out. We wanted a sandwich but ended up with chicken nuggets and fries. The waterparc was nice too. On a hot day it was nice for the kids to be able to cool down a bit.

Really enjoyed my visit here - so many interesting exhibits and things to see. I think the best part is the fact that the films referenced and the props from the films are films that are very well-known, not just random French films. Would highly recommend to people as an activity in Lyon, however my one small issue was that we bought tickets in advance but still had to line up in the same queue as everyone else, so buying a ticket in advance was fairly pointless, only decreased the price slightly. But other than that really loved it.

AMAZING! I think should be a must do when you visit Lyon with kids or just if you like movies and a different type of art. They have created incredible mini and real size scenes from movies and normal life things! A different way to know history as well! We went without tickets and ending paying less because they have a family packet. If you are 2 adults and one or more kids, it is definitely cheaper.

Worth visiting. You should go and see everything they placed in the museum. At first we enjoyed the props & artifacts from famous movies. However what we liked most is the miniature room, carefully detailed and amazinggg

Incredible and unique museum. They have some really cool pieces from films, which are still interesting to look at even if you haven’t seen them. The miniature section was a good surprise also—they are so detailed and realistic! While it is a bit on the more expensive side, it’s worth it and it is an independent business.

Walking through this museum felt like stepping straight back into my childhood (I was born in the mid-80s), and it was nothing short of magical. From Star Wars to Batman 1989, from Aliens to Beetlejuice, the collection is packed with iconic treasures that instantly spark memories of the films that defined an era. According to one of the staff, the Darth Vader mask here is the only original one on public display today, that alone is worth the visit! What sets this place apart is how personal it feels. I love the great art museums of France, but this was different, so much more relatable. Every piece triggered a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of movies I adored and had nearly forgotten, and reigniting the sense of wonder that first made me fall in love with cinema. These films came from the golden age of moviemaking, where practical effects and early CGI blended to create timeless magic that today’s movies rarely capture. Seven floors are filled with cinematic history, and while you can see it all in about 1–2 hours, it’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger at your favorites. For me, highlights included the Darth Vader helmet, the full Batman 1989 suit and vehicles, the wonderfully complete Beetlejuice exhibit, and the jaw-dropping animatronic Alien that makes you feel like you’re right on set. Seeing Thor’s hammer (Mjolnir), Iron Man’s glove, and nods to classics like Indiana Jones, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, The Mask, and even Fast & Furious only added to the thrill. If you grew up with movies from the late 80s through the early 2000s, this museum is pure nostalgia wrapped in cinema magic. It’s a time machine back to Saturday nights at the theater or trips to Blockbuster, and it will leave you smiling long after you leave. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As a bonus, all the staff that work there are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate! Update: the top floor which houses the miniatures was closed when we arrived for renovations. If this is important to you, come back when they are completed.

At first I thought it was quite expensive, but it was really worth it! They had original sceneries, props costumes, and of course, the miniatures, which were really amazing to see. Everything was really well indicated, it was easy to navigate, even with our bad french. Some of the items haf indications in English, but not all. All props had access for kids to see, too. It wasn't crowded when we went, it was a Tuesday, so we could enjoy ourselves in our own pace and there was no need to book in advance. Don't miss on the patio outside, which is free and really beautiful as well!

fantastic experience! is very interesting and fun, perfect for people who loves cinema! staff is very friendly and they speak english very well so its perfect for tourists. there is a toilette in every floor, and also a dog bowl! i enjoyed it a lot!!

The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is one of Lyon’s most iconic landmarks, visible from almost anywhere in the city. Personally, I usually find the interiors of Orthodox churches more spiritual, but this basilica’s interior really amazed me — it’s beautiful and inspiring. The exterior is just as impressive, and the panoramic view over Lyon from the top is fantastic. You can get there easily by tram, or hike up if you prefer (which I’d also recommend). Nearby, the Roman Theatre and archaeological site are free to visit and very well preserved. Both the basilica and the ruins are definitely worth seeing.

Arriving late evening in Lyon, our Uber driver took us here on a quick detour to our hotel ‘because it is so very beautiful, and you guys can see view of Lyon skyline from there’. Indeed it was a beautiful Basilica, majestic even in the dark of night. Indeed it was an impressive view of Lyon. Very grateful of him, blessed his soul. I got the chance to go back the next morning, and although did not got the chance to go inside, my appreciation grew even more about the opportunity to visit. A must go when you are in Lyon. If your hotel is not nearby, they have tram from the city center that stops directly in front.

Beautifully located on top of a hill, and Best to take an Uber to get there. There is also a vista point on the side of the church with great views of the whole city. If you can walk down the hill, you can visit a nice museum with an outdoor Greek theatre. You can also take a short cut and walk the stairs down the hill

Lovely place to visit in Lyon. Get a day ticket for € 6.90 and couple of trains later you are there. Beautiful views of the city (sunset as well). Basilica is amazing. Don't compare it with Vatican however it is grand in its own way.

It is a marvelous place to visit even when you are not Christian. The interior of the basilica Notre-Dame of Fourvière in Lyon, is tremendously high. The walls are astonishing and it drops your mouth down to the floor. I have not taken many pictures inside because my eyes were focused on all the tiny details in each stunning things my eyes would lay eyes on. If one thing to visit in Lyon, it clearly is there and Paul Bocuse Market^^.

What a beautiful basilica one has the pleasure to see, adore and to participate because during our vist a mass was held. The church has an endless history to show, not only in the holy Christian sense but also in its rich architectural designs. A real treat to be there.

Until you take your breath away, what an impressive basilica it is. A great architectural construction. It is definitely worth a visit. And to pray in peace. May St. Mary be vigilant.

Nice place to with family and friends..You must be early to visit all,bcoz it's a wide big place. We been last 19 April 2025.

The food is realy horrible. Vegetables taste bad, nearly pureed. Pasta was hard (burned) burgers were dry, hardly any Meat on them and french Fries are extra. Le comptoir des colibris is as bad as the park is good. Bring your own food and enjoy the beautifull park

Generally a beautiful park, very green and nicely designed when it comes down to aesthetics and topics. Parking was easy and well managed. Loads of staff trying to fill the parking lot in a way that makes sense, friendly and clear in their expressions. As with any park, there is a lot of walking involved and especially for small kids you'll need to be prepared to bring a pushchair. The toilets were absolutely yucky. I was only in the men's toilets, but it smells of wee everywhere, you're literally walking in it, the whole floor is covered in it. I know men can be yuk but some of those toilet I really wouldn't be surprised if they haven't been cleaned in a while or are leaking. I have never seen so much dodgy liquid on the floor. It really reeked. Some toilets have massive queues, not just the ladies', also the men's toilets. What surprised me though is, that our friends' daughters tried to get to the ladies and were trying to find a free cubical and three (!!!) ladies were so rude and pushed them out of the way. (which would be another downside, in some toilets you can literally see the cubical doors when you stand on the path). Shops/coffee and food stalls are understaffed. Particularly during high traffic periods. I.e. there was a bird show to begin in the arena and there was a massive (seriously, it was huge) queue trying to get in. There was a food/coffee stall with two windows, only one window was open. One lady was working and the first thing she said was, that she had no coffee as they ran out. When the show ended, the queue at that shop was huge, by then the second shopkeeper didn't make much of a difference. Same with the bbq restaurant we got there just before the lunch storm hit and we already had to wait about 20min to get our order and the queue started just behind the door (so really not long). By the time we finished and walked out, the queue was around the corner alongside the building, who knows how long they had to wait. One till. Having two people using the same cash machine is not really efficient. They'd need at least 3, then the queue started on the pick-up side, because the chicken needed longer cooking times. So all in all not very efficient. Two coffee machines (you get a coin at the till) but one machine had an error message in French (needed maintenance, but was still working), that many people couldn't read nor knew how to get rid of the error message. So people started queue on the other coffee machine. A few other food stalls were closed, it was a hot day, I think about 34°C. Hardly any shade anywhere. So in order to get some drinks, a couple of grown-ups had to walk through half the park to get something for the rest of the group, as we tried to find shade with the little kids. If you are not planning the visit ahead, try to avoid too sunny days. Bird show was OK. A bit disappointing that they have so much staff in that arena but then decide to just play a boring recording and then let the birds fly. Other parks actually talk about the birds and give facts about the specific birds on display, also are interactive with the crowd. Here you just sit down, a tape plays, trainers let the birds fly over your head, then they sit down in the middle of the arena and all birds walk out like in a circus good-bye. Not impressed. The range of animals is quite impressive. And beautiful birds, that seem to be kept in good conditions and clean. Butterfly house, and there was a penguin/fish area, which unfortunately was shut down and we couldn't find access to the Australian area with the kangaroos which our daughters desperately wanted to see. The only path we could find to go there seemed to be closed with a gate but no further information. It's also advisable to follow a set path. Going to see what interest you may be too chaotic and it's easy to get lost in the park. Also walking everything multiple times is suboptimal. Oh one more thing... to get out of the park: ONE (!!!) turnstile. Why they didn't just open the bloody gate is beyond me. We had to QUEUE (!!!) to leave the park. Ridiculous.

Good place to spend the day with the family. Make sure to buy your ticket ahead of time or you may be waiting in line for a long time. They are not very organized. The place is in need of renovations, bathrooms are old, dirty.

Our 3rd visit to this park. We love it. Our kids love it. My folks love it. Always something new to see. Always clean. The birds and other animals seem happy and well cared for. Saw one of the shows this time - for the first time - and it was brilliant. We will be going again on our next trip to the area.

Wonderful experience! The bird park is quite good, clean, safe for kids! I recommend. We even bought annual card for 45 euros.

Great place to see birds. However, you should bring your own food and drink because the snack bars there are horrible.

Really loved the audio guide that gave great information but was entertaining the way it is done. Took us about an hour and a half to go through and a great picture of the non wine history in Beaune. Especially liked the pharmacie room and the presentation of every day life in those times.

This was definitely the highlight of our visit in Beaune. The building used to be a hospital for poor people and is now very well restored. Entrance fee is Euro 12 - you can book online or pay at the spot. The roof and the building itself are very beautiful but they cannot be seen from outside. You need to purchase a ticket. I am glad we did.

Truly beautiful: the roof, courtyard, musuem displays, the numerous works of art. Very well curated, easy to understand the history and acts of charity carried out here. The Last Judgement altarpiece is a true masterpiece and is not to be missed, very powerful Practically had the place to ourselves after 6

Great place to learn about how medicine was practices since the 15th century. Well restored and well presented. Their audio guide is an excellent teaching and learning tool, especially the “if you would like to learn more” green button.

Step back in time of old style hospital. Magnificent building with a tiled roof you can see best from inside the large courtyard. Well worth the entry fee. Booklet or headphones self audio tour are included with ticket price.

Working for a Hospice charity, I enjoyed seeing the granddad of Hospices in Beaune. This town was caring for the vulnerable from before my country was even discovered. Amazing tour and worth the ticket price to enter.

A must have seen in Beaune. Yes the roof is great. But for me the history of the very old hospital and its foundation fascinates me more. You get an audioguide, which I highly recommand. The tour is about 1 to 1,5 hours. A lot old hospital furnitures and equipment. Entrance was 12€, which is ok for such an historic place!

Cool and iconic in Dijon... easy to find. It's nice to find it without Google maps to make it for Cool... just follow the signs on the street floor.

A modern old town, just follow the golden arrows for sightseeing. The shops are neat and orderly. I saw people slipping after the rain because the floor is slippery. It is recommended to wear shoes a good shoes. There is a restaurant that supports Down syndrome. I recommend you try it.

Palm-sized and polished by countless hands, the little owl carved into Notre-Dame’s wall turns a side lane into a ritual. Touch with your left hand and make a wish; the brass pavement plate with the owl logo marks the stop and small arrows carry you along Dijon’s Parcours de la Chouette. This is the route’s namesake and most photographed moment: modest stone, big civic idea. I like how the trail knits small details to major landmarks - marker, brief engagement, onward wayfinding - so one carving speaks to grander sites across the old town.

Super nice tour especially for kids which are keen on discovering the next owl of Dijon on the way. All nice attractions can be seen on this journey.

Great mid evil city with not a lot of tourists. Great wines from around the region, many fine restaurants and a truly great French market place

Loved randomly following footpath markers to discover iconic landmarks in Dijon. You can buy a €4 map from the tourist office and do it in an organized manner or just set yourself a challenge to see how many you can find on your travels.

I like it - brings good luck if you place your right hand on it :) A tip from a local: Once there, make sure to check the rooftop of the building to the right of the owl, you'll find beautiful owl and cat.. keeping an eye on the city ;) (photo below)

My favourite amusement park to go with my family with two boys age 4 and 5. Lots of rides for them to go in and enjoy. Maximum lengtu of a lineup for us this day was 15 minutes.

Wow. This is one of the most well run theme parks I‘ve ever been to. It’s on the smaller side, but it offers enough to spend a whole day here. The whole park is very clean, ticket and park food prices are very fair and the ride operations are lightning quick. I unfortunately visited on of the most crowded days of the year, but because this park is so well run, I got everything done including 17 rides on their main attraction Alpina Blitz. I highly recommend a visit, and I‘m excited for their new coaster in 2027.

Nigloland is one of those parks that’s big enough to be exciting, yet small enough to stay cozy and easy to enjoy. It’s clean, nicely kept, and full of charm, perfect for a relaxed family day. There can be queues for the main attractions, but honestly, which park doesn’t have them during school holidays? What I really love is how balanced it feels: not just for little kids or thrill-seeking teens, but great for families with children of all ages. Even toddlers can find something fun to ride. During Halloween, it’s especially atmospheric, colorful, cheerful, and full of small details that make you smile. And by the way, it’s in Champagne, so technically, between rides with the kids, you can still sneak off for a tasting or two. To each their own pleasure. A warm, well-run park. Five stars, happily.

Nigloland is wonderfull blend between a fully fine to be old fashioned theme park for toddlers and older. You got everything for what you pay. It's clean, you have decent lines for all kind of attractions and rollercoasters. Spend a entire day in there. And it was a good surprise. An excellent ratio quality/price. If you plan to stay for a whole week end you should definitely stay at Hotel des pirates. The props are fun, the owners come to visit oftenly the customers. The restaurants has everything you'd like to eat. For starters you can enjoy the garden to take a drink while your kids are playing in the big playground just aside to where you can bask in the late afternoon light in your seat sipping your cocktail ! A nice stay for any family

Such an amazing experience with family, good for the little ones and also very fun for the adults. This is one of the most beautiful and well kept and maintained attraction park I’ve ever been to in my life. You can really tell they keep their maintenance and housekeeping to a really high standard. All staff were also very friendly. The rides are all amazing. The African “safari” on the boat was a highlight. So entertaining. So in awe of what they have created at this park. The gardens are also beautiful, reminds me of the botanic gardens.

Great Theme Park, went here but it was raining yet i had fun!

Nigloland is really very good. We stayed in the Cabainia cabins and we’ve stayed in the pirates hotel before. We’ve also done Astérix and Disney before and the quality here is much better. The decor, rides, waiting times all great. In particular their team are very nice. They do a very good job.

Hugo was a terrific guide—professional, kind, and decisive in keeping the tour moving. The Signature Tour offered a clear overview of the champagne making process for novices as well as detailed information so everyone could learn something. The caves and tasting room were unforgettable and well worth the price, though I could have skipped (or shortened) the special exhibit at the beginning of the tour. A memorable Moët & Chandon experience! 🥂🍾

Waw! Impressed by the ambassador Mrs Violetta who was in charge of the guided visit ‘Signature’ tour that we participated today. It’s impressive to be in the elegant estate, to discover the history of Moët & Chandon and to walk through the huge network of underground cellars. The tasting is sophisticated and very good organized.

Loved this tour! The guide was super friendly and explained the champagne-making process in a fun, easy-to-follow way. Walking through the massive underground cellars was such a cool experience — you really get a sense of the history and scale behind Moët & Chandon. The tasting at the end was the perfect finish. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Épernay! 🍾

Wonderful vintage tour at Moët & Chandon. Marie Filomene Martins was an outstanding guide—warm, engaging, and full of insight. The history, the art, and the stunning cellars made the visit unforgettable. Everything felt polished and beautifully presented. Our tasting of Dom Pérignon 2015 was the perfect finale.

We visited Moët & Chandon in July 2025 as part of our anniversary celebration and were captivated by the history, elegance, and craftsmanship behind every bottle. The cellar tour was immersive and educational, the champagne tasting exceptional, and the gracious hospitality of the staff made it a truly unforgettable experience.

Elegant and Unforgettable – Moët & Chandon, Épernay Visiting Moët & Chandon in Épernay is a must for any champagne lover. The guided tour is polished and informative, offering a fascinating look into centuries of tradition beneath the historic cellars. The tasting at the end is the perfect finish — refined, generous, and truly delicious. A classy, memorable experience in the heart of Champagne.

Our guide, young black brother did an exceptional job yesterday when giving us our Imperial tour Sat 8/30. He knew his history as an ambassador and I had such an amazing time. Shop and property is by far the best out of all the maisons on the row.

Historical & Legendary Cathedral This is one of the oldest Cathedrals in the world. It witnessed the crowning of Kings in the Middle Ages and was always an amazing beacon of faith for the Catholic Church. It is currently ongoing a bit of renovation but still looks fabulous. If you come to Reims you will see the Cathedral it is the absolute one and only building you need to see visit. We were also very impressed by the inside the ceilings are so high that they give you this feeling of Grandness- ABSOLUTE must see !

Extremely beautiful church! Huge and with nice information inside! They have a shop as well as some brochures for more information. It is a must for people interested in French history and Gothic architecture. You cannot miss the Marc Chagall's piece of art!

A true masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the Cathédrale de Reims captivates visitors with its soaring spires, intricate stone carvings, and breathtaking façade. Inside, sunlight streams through stained-glass windows of multiple colors and designs, casting vibrant patterns that tell stories from history and scripture. Every corner reveals centuries of craftsmanship, from the delicate arches to the detailed sculptures. Whether you are drawn to architecture, art, or history, the cathedral offers an unforgettable experience where light, color, and stone come together in perfect harmony.

We did the roof tour. Nine euro each and very easy to book on their website. 249 steps with no stopping places so be prepared for a hike. Our tour was in French but he did a little bit in English for us. Some surprises up there which I won't spoil

The beauty and grandeur of this cathedral cannot be conveyed in words. It is here that you can feel the power of this place. Here you will feel all the energy of centuries. It was here that 31 kings were crowned. A majestic cathedral.

Notre Dame was the most stunning cathedral that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. It was beautiful inside and fill with relics and beautiful artworks. It was an awesome experience. If you ever have the chance to see go there do so.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in France. It was built in the Gothic style and is truly a masterpiece of architecture. The exterior is incredibly detailed, with stunning sculptures and tall towers that immediately catch your eye. Inside, the high ceilings, colorful stained-glass windows, and peaceful atmosphere make the experience unforgettable. It’s amazing to think how much history this place holds — it was the traditional site for the coronation of French kings. The best part is that entry is free, so it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just looking for a breathtaking place to explore. Highly recommended!

A very cool cathedral to visit! It’s incredibly old and has such a magical atmosphere — like walking through history. I was completely obsessed with this place. Highly recommend it!

Don't miss the tower tour! You have to make reservations before 11 am. I reserved at 10:00 and was the last one! Adrien did an outstanding job of interpreting the site!

A beautiful and historic Cathedral in the lovely town of Laon. It was extraordinary to see such a stunning building and we were very greatful to be able to look around. Worth a visit whilst investigating the rest of Laon.

We always visit Laon on our way back to Calais. It is just off the A26 motorway and well worth seeing. Beautiful cathedral, good restaurants, free parking and wonderful views..

Laon Cathedral, France. So beautiful church

Amazing gem in that part of France. It was first built in the 8th century, and then the new cathedral was built between 1155 and 1235. More parts of the building were added in the following centuries to be seen in the present form. It was cold inside on a January day, but on a rainy day one can enjoy so much being inside.

A really impressive building showcasing a rich and diverse cultural history. The light show in the evenings in August are magical and very very impressive! This year even more impressive than last year.

I’ve visited a lot of castles through out Europe. But this was one my daughter wanted to see due to the Merlin show being shot here. And just wow. Truly stunning. The restoration is incredible. It’s well worth a trip if you’re heading out or into Calais. The village is also sooo pretty. I recommend driving on the steep road next to the castle and parking up the top where there is a bit of a hidden car park!

My second top on the list (Hohenzollern is the first). Definitely must see it. There are not a lot of internal stuff in castle itself - but the building is maintained and well kept - and the tour allows to visit 99% of the castle itself. Exterior is beautiful, interior is maximally interesting for anyone who enjoys historical buildings.

Absolutely incredible castle. A must see, especially as someone who is a huge fan of BBC Merlin. Even if you don’t know the show the rich history and beautiful interiors are worth a look. Free for under 25s! Great gift shop! Beautiful views!

The architecture is dramatic and beautifully restored. While the inside is mostly empty, it’s full of atmosphere and history. Definitely worth a visit if you love castles or medieval vibes.

An underrated castle that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed visiting every time. The surrounding landscape beautifully evokes the atmosphere of the medieval era. The castle itself is stunning, with its grand towers and detailed architecture that instantly spark your imagination.

A nice way to spend a morning pottering around admiring the architecture. It wasn't busy and we got to look at everything at our own pace. Good value at €9 per head

This is a magnificent place to visit. My family had a good look around this awesome historic chateau. The views it from outside and also the views of pierrefonds town are also breathtaking. It is very reasonably priced and definitely worth a look at if you are in the area.

It is such a beautiful church. The artworks are magnificent. I love how they have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from Tuesday to Saturday; before the daily mass.

Huge cathedral, at least in my experience, as I am not really a cathedral expert.... One can choose which Saint to honour of to pray to or burn a candle for. Extremely detailed tableaux with more or less medieval daily life and church life images. The whole building is so full of symbols and sculptures that it is impossible to grasp. The large organ was under restoration, but also that is huge. Worth a visit, it is for free and nice cool inside on top of all those holiness.

I have a thing for Cathedrals, and this one was exceptional. Bigger than the one in Paris it’s filled with stunning details. Free light show on the facade every evening in the summer. We visited on a Friday afternoon and it was very quiet. We were driving past Amiens and I’m very glad we stopped!

I was stunned at first sight and drawn into the mysticism and ritual. Then suddenly the Sun came out and the nave was bathed in mystic light and I was stunned anew. It was a night-and -day experience and it was still only noon. The experiences you have here are of the things you hold dear for your life.

Built in the 1200s to impress and to house John the Baptist’s head, and it still does both. Bigger than Notre-Dame in Paris, sharper in detail, cleaner in structure. The façade is a textbook in Gothic sculpture, but not chaotic — it’s all deliberately ordered. Inside, it’s vast and surprisingly bare, which only makes the architecture stand out more. Worth a visit but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend going to Amiens specifically to see the cathedral.

Visiting Amiens Cathedral was like stepping into a living monument of medieval art, history, and faith. It’s a Gothic cathedral in the north of France. It’s huge, peaceful, and full of beautiful details from the 13th century. Also: It’s wheelchair accessible with ramps and smooth paths.

This church is the largest Gothic cathedral in Europe. I was skeptical about this having been to Notre Dame in Paris many times. I really wasn't prepared for how tall this building is, it was astonishing really. It's not as beautiful as the one in Paris especially since the renovation there, but very impressive nonetheless. Amiens is a lovely town to visit, don't miss taking a boat tour of the canal. It's beautiful and affordable.

Truly incredible museum. An amazing collection of striking artifacts, classical statues and iconic artwork. I also was pleasantly surprised to find that only for special events/exhibitions do you need a ticket, otherwise entry is totally free to see this absolutely incredible place. An absolute MUST if you're in the area.

Great museum! Well worth a visit. There were a lot of visiters though, so we had to wait at certain rooms to see everything. Worth a visit if you love art!

Free admission, nice collection in a quiet place. There is additional exhibition that costs extra. Audio guide available for 2 euros.

We used this as a pit stop while on a road trip, and it exceeded my expectations. The museum is free and enables you to see loads of incredible art. I loved the layout in the main room, with artefacts in chronological order. The information was really useful along with some fun activities for children/adults. The museum itself is not grand, but I think that adds to its appeal. What seems quite ordinary from the outside opens up into an airy and spacious blank canvas for the art to stand out against. I don't know if we could have spent too long here, which is why I have marked it down a star. However there seemed to be cafés and other paid exhibitions which you could delight yourself with. Free parking, free museum. Excellent stuff.

Fabulous! Love the layout. Loved the collection of art… A lot of of it was very whimsical. I’ll post my photos.

Beautiful Museum and absolutely worth a visit. We didn’t have to pre-book tickets as it was very empty. There is also a nice restaurant just outside the museum and a canteen inside serving salads, sandwiches and wine.

Very nice Museum. nice staff and beautiful from the inside. also the path to walk to the museum was incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately there was no English translation under the french text, you needed to take an audio device from the info point.

France, a country notorious among travelers for its challenging reputation, turned out to be far more charming than I expected. And for me, Lille had even more appeal than Paris. If I ever return to France, there’s no question I’ll be coming back to Lille.

Lille is a beautiful city. The buildings are so architecturally stunning. Plenty to see and do on our 3 days trip. Lots of restaurants and coffee, patisseries. Yummy. Our hotel Mercure grand place was extremely good value and breakfast fabulous. Will visit again when its maybe not so hot 🥵

Absolutely gorgeous! 🥰 Very lively during the day and mesmerising at night with all the beautiful illuminations. It reminded me of Brussels in a way. It’s definitely a must when in Lille. Plenty of restaurants and cafés in its surroundings.

Amazing and spacious square where you can admire several architectural beauties of lille. It can get crowded and there are beggars and homeless people around it, so watch out for your stuff, or help if possible.

The beautiful city of lille. Well worth a visit just for the architecture alone. Stunning and great to see a strong police presence

Only had an hour in Lille before heading for the ferry at Calais so of course we headed straight for the Grand Place & the surrounding streets of the Vieux-Lille to look at the buildings & soak up some Lille vibes….& it was all positive apart from one thing - the stench of the sewers :/

The areas of the town squares are nice. There are many nice decorations around and some good stores where people can buy stuff. One thing I don't like is the fact that cars are allowed to operate within the pedestrian area, with no traffic lights and no signs. Really, man? Who's dumb idea was that? People who walk and cyclists can get hurt, especially children. This stupidity was abolished in 99% of the European cities I've visited, except for Lille. Seriously... Compared to Szeged, Charleroi, Novi Sad and Timișoara, which are superior cities, Lille sucks in that case. 👎 Those are a few examples. ☝️ I've visited many cities all across Europe and Asia. Naming all of them would take 100 days. I know Lille can become good. It really needs better laws and improvements. Other than that, I see good things too. The surroundings look nice. 👍

A sombre place - 'a First World War memorial in Ypres, Belgium, dedicated to the missing British and Commonwealth soldiers who have no known grave in the Ypres Salient, with their names engraved on the walls of the memorial.' - I felt choked up approaching this place remembering my relatives that served here including my grandfather wounded at Passchendaele. We also saw groups of school kids, including some Indian students, and their teacher and a male and female student carried a wreath to lay remembering Indians who served as part of the British Empire.

I was here twice in one day, on a bus tour from brussels. Once around lunch, and then once at 7pm to stay for the 8pm last post ceremony. -Its a large "Gate" building, the functions as a road as well except at 8pm, when police close the road for the last post ceremony. The sidewalk is also roped off, you cannot cross this gate into or out of city between 7:50pm-8:20pm, by foot or car. -You can walk up the steps in the middle to the upper parts on either side, its more walls of names. -You can participate in the last post Ceremony if you have a poppy wreath similar to theirs. You can bring from home, or Buy a wreath at the "Info shop" across the road from the gate, inside the city. The man running the ceremony said they never turn away someone that wants to participate. -The last post ceremony gets busy, we arrived 1 hour before to be sure we got front row, and we did, but it does get busy. The ceremony itself is about 10min long, with a short trumpet call, then a short speech, then people walk up and put wreaths, and then trumpets again, and its over. The guide said sometimes there is more people putting wreaths, sometimes there is more speeches, sometimes more music performances, so it could take longer sometimes. Overall it was a nice memorial to the fallen soldiers

This is a must go to see, and listen to the sound of last post played by buglers of the fire service. A sombre moment, knowing that all the names carved out on the walls, were of men whose bodies were never found, and remain scattered under Flanders fields. Heartbreakingly sad to think of.

Have visited a few times before. Last time (2024) it was closed for restoration, all done now and looking great. There’s an office on site where they will help you locate the name of a lost family member. (Don’t try to read all the names or you’ll never find the one you want). If your schedule allows, stay for the Last Post ceremony, done every day. Right in the town centre of Ypres, a beautiful place to visit.

This is a must visit site in Ypres, especially at 8pm every day when the last post is played. It is remarkable that this service happens every day of the year more than 100 years after WW1, but then it remains as poignant and relevant today as ever (sadly). We attended on two consecutive nights, one night with the Honourable Artillery Company Regimental Band playing (incredible) the next with a female choral choir. Both were very moving. I estimated about 500 people attended both nights. The four or five horn players of the last post were clearly very experienced. The gate itself is a mini-museum, and it is very impactful to see the thousands of names of lost soldiers from so many countries. Really, everyone should visit this site.

The gate is a large memorial to the British Empire and Dominions troops that were killed in the Great War. It was built in the 1920s and has the names of 54,000 allied servicemen who lost their lives but have no known grave, inscribed on panels inside the building. It is sited on the road that the troops used to march along to reach the nearby Ypres salient, scene of fighting for pretty much the entire war. It is also where the famous Last Post ceremony takes place. We read the CWGC information boards and saw the information on the hill next to the gate and then we walked through the galleries with the names of the fallen before joining the crowds to listen to the ceremony. I was surprised at how busy it was and the ceremony itself lasted about 15 minutes but the colonnade was full 45 minutes before it started. It was a lovely ceremony with the Last Post and then two songs sung by St Anthony's Catholic Girl School from Market Weighton.

A must see experience. Lots of emotions. Make up your own mind as to a celebration of war or a monument against it! A waste of human life for a just cause or maybe a monument against war. A lesson from history about the waste of war and its leaders who send men to there death! Looking at the world at the moment, have we learned? But to those who lost their lives a very moving monument.

Definitely worth a visit. Some interactive information. A number of short video presentations, either in English of with subtitles. Displays of WWI uniforms, munitions etc. Cafe and toilets on ground floor. Option to visit the bell tower, quite a number of steps, but even on a dull rainy day worth the visit.

was here on a bus tour from brussels, entrance was included in our tour. -When we arrived our guide gave us poppy wrist bands for entrance, they also activate things. -Typical museum, different displays of uniforms, weapons, artifacts, stories and maps. There is a small theater to hear real stories from nurses during the war -Souvenir and book shop at the end of the tour. -The museum is in the largest building in town, the old town hall, so you cant miss it. -There was also a small flea/garage sale going on right outside of it. People selling random things. There was one or 2 selling war artifacts, not sure it authentic.

One of the main museums, if not the main museum one can visit when retracing the Western Front and the WW1 trail. Located within a splendid building in the centre of Ypres. The museum is immersive with key station points for your audio guide to be activated, a very clever poppy band that also activated key points throughout the museum. Lots of videos of reenactments, great displays and lots of key information that can even make one who may know a lot, to think further. Very accessible and decently priced.

Great museum focusing on WW1 and the surrounding battles. Take advantage of the opportunity to climb to the top of the bell tower during your visit. Allow at least 2 hours for a comprehensive visit. There is also a small cafe and well stocked book shop. Parking is usually available in the public square outside.

Excellent museum with lots of interactive displays and videos. A brilliant telling of the experiences of the solders and civilians in the Ypres salient during the First World War. Very powerful and moving. All contained in the fabulous building rebuilt after the war.

I visited for two main reasons. First is that my Great Grandfather was a gunner with the RGA in the 3rd Battle of Ypres and not only was it a miracle that he survived but also the diary he kept of his experiences, which is a moving read. After transcribing this a few years ago, I have been researching the contents and the day I visited the museum was part of that and found it so interesting and informative. The layout is quite modern and I liked the use of videos with actors recreating the experiences, especially the medical staff. The other reason I was visiting is that my Great Uncle Charles was killed in 1915 and as he has no known grave, his name is inscribed on the nearby Menin Gate. The impact of his death, and that of his brother who was killed in action only a few weeks later, is still remembered by our family and I was also trying to find out more about his death. For both of these family members, I did manage to find out really useful additional information. Even if you are not like me and researching a specific family member, this is definitely worth visiting and is suitable for younger children with adult supervision. Our teen children found it interesting and we need to ensure the younger generation are aware of the events of 1914-18. There is an entry fee and you can pay extra for an audio tour and visit to the tower. We didn't do the latter two due to time restraints (we managed to get in for last entry time as we had had a busy day of visiting other sites which had to fit in 1 day) We hadn't pre-booked but no issues with that.

The museum itself is excellent – well-presented, with a wealth of information and artefacts that are both informative and engaging. Unfortunately, our overall experience was spoiled by the dishonesty of one employee and the poor handling of the situation by another. My partner and I purchased two inclusive tickets for both museums. It was explained to us that the Flanders ticket granted access to the tower, which is why we chose the full package. However, when we arrived at the Flanders museum, we were told we had to pay extra for the tower. When we challenged this, the employee’s response was hostile. I asked to make a complaint and was told there was no procedure for this and that I should “just do it on Google.” The employee initially refused to involve a supervisor, declined to give their details, and was not wearing a visible name badge. Instead, they repeatedly denied any issue and insisted Google was the only way to complain. Eventually, they contacted the desk where we had purchased our tickets. Unfortunately, that staff member fabricated a story that we had made two separate purchases (we had not) and denied ever saying the tower was included (which she clearly had). After I persisted, a supervisor eventually did attend (despite us previously being told there wasn’t one on site). Once we explained the situation and mentioned that CCTV would support our account, we were quickly granted access to the tower without extra charge. While we were pleased this was eventually resolved, it should never have required such persistence. A museum of this quality deserves front-of-house staff whose professionalism matches the high standard of the exhibits.

Catastrophe!!! Trams are overcrowded and the frequency is too low. Very often you can't get on the tram at all!!! The vehicles themselves are uncomfortable and there is little space in them. I don't understand why, when replacing the tram fleet, it was not decided to use longer vehicles, since the tram stops can handle trams that are several meters longer. This is an unacceptable situation for me.

Stop promoting this as a tourist transportation! It's a regular tram, very crowded and uncomfortable. Yes, it takes you from one place to another, but don't hope for nice view or something interesting to see.

(Translated by Google) The coastal tram!!!!!! A real shame!!!!! Here people are crammed into the tram, animals are treated better (Original) De kusttram !!!!!! Een echte schande!!!!! Hier worden mensen in de tram opeen gestampt, dieren worden beter behandeld

The place is impressive, and worth visiting. Adding the planetarium is a must, especially if you are visiting woth kids. I missed more information about the site itself, the visit felt more like an overview of WWII. The website is also pretty outdated and hard to navigate. Tip: bring a jacket, it is very cold inside the tunnel!!!

I didn’t know what to expect when visiting this museum — I went in completely blind, having done no prior research and only using ChatGPT to help plan my holiday itinerary. I was genuinely in awe when the huge concrete megastructure suddenly came into view as I drove into the car park. It was completely unexpected and an impressive sight to behold. The exhibits, supported by clear and informative supplementary information, made the visit both engaging and enjoyable. That said, a few areas felt a little empty, and additional displays could have further enriched what was otherwise a very well-presented museum. One highlight was the interactive tablet and headset experience, which elevated the visit and made the museum even more immersive. The on-site café was also a pleasant surprise, serving tasty food and drinks at very reasonable prices.

Took my Band of Gamers tour group here on October 2, 2023. The site was absolutely amazing. In addition to the history of the V2 program, the site also presented information on the slave labour the Nazis used to work on this complex - very sobering. In 2019 my group visited the V3 site Mymoceques but we didn't have time to come here. I'm glad we took the time to see it this time. Highly recommend.

If your near by and even have the remotest interest in history, or humanity, go. But bewarned it hits hard. Think about if taking small children is a good idea or not, there are some articles which will need to be explained, but then should be. Will never forget it.

One of the best museums I've visited. As well as the sheer scale of the WW2 remains, it also tells you why, and how, and the human toll it took to build it. The audio-visio guides are superb and show you graphically how and why it was built. A superb museum, superb and friendly staff and a museum that leaves you astounded by the sheer scale. Superb.

Its a beautiful and well preserved memory of the great and indeed insane ambitions of the Third Reich. Combine this visit with a visit to the Blockhaus or the V3 weapon and you'll see what optimism and a lot of money can do. Even though it's unfinished, you'll have a great impression of this site. The interactive tablets do a good job. Some expositions are sadly only in French and the lack of internet under earth invalidate on the fly translation apps. Pre-downloading translations helps. I'll still give it 5 stars. It will take you from 1914 well into the American space program, with a focus on WW2 in Northern France, the resistance and the eventual liberation.

I highly recomend the visit, very well organized museum with a lot of history.

Went on a Wednesday when the park was open from 10AM-10PM, and managed to get on an amazing 16 rides. Wait times were really good especially for The Ride to Happiness, with the longest queue being only 45 minutes. Food is very expensive so I recommend taking your own. Thank you to Leme at the Plopsaland Shop for being so helpful though with our visit and helping us to pick the best pin badges! Definitely will be coming back again!

Great the park. There are some great rides here. Mainly geared towards families with younger children (under 16), but you can not deny the presence of Ride To Happiness, which is clearly aimed at an older audience. Ride To Happiness is simply one of the best roller-coasters in the world, and it should be on everyone's bucket list.

I really wanted to give the park 5 stars but some things are odd. First of all, why isn’t there any signage anywhere? Second, why isn’t there any information about waiting times? We were there on a Wednesday middle of October and it was really calm, Zero to little waiting times, even at the top rollercoaster “ride to happiness”, which is awesome! Most of the attractions are definitely for smaller kids, there are basically only three thrill rides, “happiness, Anubis and Heidi”. Would I come back just for this three rides on a calm day? Definitely! Would I come back on a busy summer weekend? For sure not.

Loved this place and it really exceeded my expectations! We were staying in nearby de panne and it had a great transport link on the tram right into the theme park. Reasonably priced for the entry fee. We purchased the tickets the day before as this worked out cheaper than on the gate. This themepark has something for all the family and we were really lucky to not have long queues on the day we visited. Everyone loved Heidi and the Ride to Happiness. Lots of great food venues to choose from. Great theming throughout the park and decorated really well for Halloween. The parade was also fun and the whole day had a really fun, happy vibe! The plopsaland hotel looked lovely. Overall, a great day out and we would definitely return.

Clean and tidy but way too busy and a ridiculous access pass system for families with younger children ! Wouldn’t say this park is value for money! The one good thing at this park is the ride of happiness which is in the top 5 coasters I have done .

We had an absolutely fantastic day at Plopsaland! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The park was beautifully clean, well-organised, and not at all busy, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, everyone we spoke to was cheerful and helpful, creating such a positive atmosphere throughout the day. One of the biggest highlights for us was “The Ride to Happiness” what an incredible rollercoaster! It’s easily one of the best rides we’ve ever been on. Thrilling, smooth, and full of surprises, we couldn’t resist going on it multiple times thanks to the short queues! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The mix of fun attractions, friendly staff, and minimal waiting times made it a truly perfect day out. Highly recommend Plopsaland to anyone visiting Belgium, we’ll definitely be back! 🎢✨

I’ve been to this amusement park a couple of times. Overall, it’s mainly focused on small kids. The only attraction that truly stands out for adults is ‘The Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland’— absolutely amazing and worth the visit on its own. A few downsides: queues can get really long on sunny days. Food is available at many kiosks, but it’s very basic and extremely overpriced. Parking isn’t free either. Also, expect heavy traffic when arriving and leaving the park, especially during weekends or holidays.
