Very fun place for kids! It is quite big, with outside and inside playgrounds. There are multiple areas and lots of table options located in different halls/rooms, so you can be closest to the playground most appropriate for the age of the child. We loved the QR ordering system! So convenient, just scan a QR code at yoir table, order and pay on your phone and food and drinks get delivered to you table! Very easy. You can also order at one of the two bars as well, so no problem if you don't have a smart phone. Kids enter free after 5pm at the moment, if you are just popping in for some food. And the place closes at 7pm. Food was fine. Nothing too special, but my husband did enjoyed his spare ribs and the menu is pretty big with snacking options. I had fish and chips, our child had a boiled sausage, which we preferred much more to the deep fried ones. Plenty of drink options, including wine and beer. :) Everyone who works here is friendly and approachable. We enjoyed our evening stop and definitely recommend this place to other families with children. Kids can be entertained here for hours. There is even an arts and crafts room, which we saw, but it closes at 5pm. Fun place! We will be back.

Cool place for kids to play. However, it was very crowded. If you went there, you would think that the birth rate in the Netherlands is over 3 per woman. The baby's changing room should be cleaned more frequently. It smelled really bad inside and it's the same place to heat food in the microwave oven..

The place is very fun for children, lots of options for safe play, so a good opportunity for parents to relax. Also, there are plenty of options for food and drinks, reasonably priced. The only thing is that every time we went it was quite crowded and loud, even on week days. So if you're thinking you can work while your kid plays, it may not be ideal.

Great museum for people who love technology and science behind it! I was fully invested, I liked it a lot. It took me 2,5 hours (I was exploring and reading literally everything).

A great museum in the center of Eindhoven! It's exciting to watch a 130 year technology revolution in your native language! On the other hand, the museum was smaller than I expected. I see the brilliance of historical processes in a better interactive way. But I still recommend it…
Serkan K — Google review
A great museum to learn about history of Philips and its connection to Eindhoven region. I liked the history of lights part. For kids there is a nice workshop upstairs Recently they also have added a section on AI and its impact on society. However, what I expected that they would have wider samples from different Radio and Television and Tape recorders etc. from thier more than half a century history, but I was bit disappointed to see only a few. Nevertheless overall definitely worth a visit.

I didn’t expect a whole deal from this but was presently surprised, I had no idea the influence of this company- some really touching features. The cinema was nice to see the influence during the war. Cafe seemed reasonably priced- sadly no GF options. Also the free audio guide was a nice feature. A lot of interactive features

The museum is definitely a great surprise! Rather than a straightforward exhibition with boring facts, the Phillips museum is like a time machine, which helps you look into the lives of the past couple of generations, how their lives got changed because of electricity and Philips, and how they also shape the future.

St. Catherine's Church

Mentioned on

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
St. Catherine's Church, also known as St. Catharinakerk, is a stunning Neo-Gothic Catholic church completed in 1867. The original structure was dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria and dates back to the 13th century but underwent severe damage from wars and fires over the years. Restored to its former glory, the current building incorporates symbolic references and features two towers representing the purity of Mary and the strength of David.
St. Catherine's Church, a magnificent building with a rich history, boasts a unique story encompassing fires, wars, and even a period of use as a stable. Its Gothic design is superb. Interestingly, archaeological excavations uncovered approximately 1000 skeletons within the church grounds.
Panos M — Google review
Such a beautiful church right in the middle of the city. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere inside — it’s nice to step away from the busy streets for a while. The stained glass and high ceilings are stunning, and I loved discovering the little archaeological displays under the glass floor. It’s free to go in, which is great, and there’s plenty of space to sit and just take it all in. I just wish there were a few more signs or explanations in English, but still, I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Eindhoven

🕍 10 Facts about St. Catherine’s Church, Eindhoven 1. Built in the 19th century The church was constructed between 1861 and 1867 in the Neo-Gothic architectural style. 2. Designed by a famous Dutch architect It was designed by Pierre Cuypers, the same architect who later built Amsterdam’s Central Station and the Rijksmuseum. 3. Historic sacred ground The site has hosted churches since the 13th century — long before the current structure was built. 4. Inspired by French Gothic cathedrals Cuypers drew inspiration from Chartres and Reims, reflected in the pointed arches, rose windows, and twin towers. 5. Damaged during World War II The church suffered severe damage from bombings in 1942, but was later carefully restored. 6. National Monument status In 1973, St. Catherine’s Church was officially listed as a Dutch National Monument. 7. Twin towers “Mary” and “David” The two towers reach about 73 meters high — one named Maria, the other David. 8. Cultural venue Besides religious services, the church regularly hosts classical concerts, choirs, and cultural events due to its excellent acoustics. 9. Archaeological discoveries Excavations beneath the church revealed about 1,000 human remains dating from 1200 – 1850 AD, offering a glimpse into medieval Eindhoven. 10. Central city landmark Located on Catharinaplein, near Stratumseind, it’s one of the most recognizable and photographed landmarks in Eindhoven’s city center.

St. Catherine’s Church tells a unique story. Wars, fires, and even a time when it was used as a stable are part of its journey. This neo-Gothic structure dates back to 1867, but its roots lie in the 11th century. Are any of you budding archaeologists? Here’s some info that might interest you: during its renovation in 2005, archaeologists discovered around 1,000 skeletons on the church grounds, dating back to 1200–1850.

St. Catherine's Church is a magnificent building with rich history. Its specially beautiful when the sun is out and then you see a beautiful display of light through the windows. There are a lot of skeletons as well around the church ground some of them are made visible. Must visit when you are in Eindhoven.

Modern art museum
Located in the Stratumseind district of Eindhoven, the Van Abbemuseum is a renowned institution for modern and contemporary art. Since its establishment in 1936, it has undergone significant renovations, including a futuristic extension surrounded by a moat. The museum's extensive collection features works by prominent artists such as Picasso, Mondrian, Chagall, and El Lissitzky. Visitors can explore a diverse range of contemporary art from both Dutch and international artists through ever-changing temporary exhibitions.
It’s a very nice museum. It’s mainly focused on abstract art, which I usually dislike a lot, but many parts of the exhibition took me by heart. The architecture of the building is also amazing, with nice balconies to observe the river. In some places, you can see 4-5 floors below, which is not the best option if you’re afraid of heights. This is the most memorable museum when it comes to feelings that it provoked.
Георги Д — Google review
A compact but world-class spot for modern and contemporary art. I spent just over an hour with the “Hidden Connections” exhibition—sharp curatorial storytelling and clear English labels—then cooled off in the quiet atrium café. Friendly staff, lockers for backpacks, and plenty of seating make it an easy yes if you’re in Eindhoven.

The exhibitions were very captivating and beautiful! What's more, they sell older issues of used magazines that are in good conditions for a very good price, 1-3€. They also have an amazing selection of postcards!

Nothing spectacular. The museum itself is nicely organized and decorated, but the exhibits are underwhelming. It mainly focuses on the exploitation of Indonesians by the Dutch, showcasing how industrialists used cheap labor. Other than that, there were videos that were uninteresting and looked unprofessional. The best feature was the images accompanied by scented papers, with the smells representing the atmosphere of each picture.

I love this museum the curation is on point. I was very impressed not only with their selection of art, but also their attempt to stay ecologically friendly by locally souring the art supplies. And mostly for taking responsibility about how H van Abbe got rich on the tobacco industry regarding the Netherlands dark past in regard to indentured servitude and colonialism. Very thought provoking pieces and multicultural artist as well as young artist aswell! Not to mention how inclusive the museum is to wheelchairs, and including sensory version of art pieces! Bathrooms are non-gendered and clean 🎉
Alex B — Google review
This place is the best museum I have ever been so far. I strongly recommend you to visit if you’re interested. A must see place for especially architects! The artwork appeals to the 5 senses of human body and tries to create new ones. I am not even talking about the location of the building where the water beats the exterior walls. Popped up glass niches coming out of interiors literally made my day :)

Really cool museum. Not very big, still a great collection of classic and modern vehicles. From tanks, fireman trucks, trucks and more. The kids love it because they can go inside of them and "play and drive". You can eat in the restaurant. There are clean toilets and a wardrobe. The different ambients are super well done. It is included in the museum card. Commuting by car with external paid parking, bus stops nearby or by foot.

One of the best museums to visit in Eindhoven. You get to see all kinds of Trucks (racing, heavy duty, military etc), car (vintage, racing, wagon etc) and trolley.

What a lovely zoo! It felt very safe for the animals with visitors walking through their enclosures and plenty of places for them to hide away if they want to. Lots of lovely vegetation making it feel very natural. We spent nearly five hours here walking around as a family. Would recommend for a family day out.

Very nice zoo to spend a day. There are 2 places with a bigger playgrounds where kids can unwind. (Start and about half way along the route) They also have different expositions from time to time. I went to see the dinosaur and ice age onces. I preferred the dinosaur one but both are nice and a good variety to the animals running around. The animals all look very healthy and have nice enclosures. They are also in the proces of expanding with even more and better enclosures for their animals.

Wonderful family experience!! Such a variety of animals in the most natural environment for each species I have even seen!! There is opportunity to buy a day pass to be the "zoo-keeper of the day", so you go around the animals, feeding and taking care of them, while learning more about them. Unique experience!! Fully worth visiting!

The red Pandas!!!!!! OMG, I could have watched them all day. This zoo is an absolute hidden gem. Relaxed, and easily accessible with a beautiful selection of fascinating animals. Some of which I literally never knew existed, penciltail pigs! And some wonderful spider monkeys, plus oooohhh the Brazzameercat..it was awesome.
Stephanie P — Google review
General score out of 10: 9️⃣ If you want a different zoo experience from the usual this might be it. ✅ Zoo design. It has been designed to help visitors see all the animals and experience the entire zoo by following the route from start to finish. + You don't get lost. + You don't miss any animals or attractions. + Makes for a great experience. ✅The first zoo I have experienced with zoo guides who talk about the animals for those interested. I particularly enjoyed my encounter with the guide at the kangaroos. ✅ Several Adventure paths have been placed along the route. This keeps the whole visit much more fun for kids. + Our three kids 8,6, and 4 didn't complain about tiredness the whole time. ✅There are some animals you won't find at any other zoo. Eg: Dwarf hippopotamus, Okapi, most lions I have seen in one zoo(5),etc. ✅ Suitable for wheelchairs and prams/strollers. ✅ Washrooms for all groups including wheelchair, old, baby changing, parking place for stroller or pram. Definitely a plus. ✅ The biggest playground is at the end of the route. If you have kids they won't want to skip it so have enough time for that part too😊. ✅ Soft icecream at the shop by the trampoline is really good but it too big. You may want to share with the kids instead of getting one for everyone to avoid throwing them away after having too much. + Suggested they make child portions. ➕✅Tip: Check "vakantie veilingen" to find the best discounts on tickets.

A nice and well maintaned open air Zoo with a lot of different animals to see. Setup is in different zones to seperate the type of animals and habitat. Make sure to pick a dry and sunny day, it is all open air. It big enough for spend half a day. Downside; rediculous prices for food and snacks. $12 for a simple small burger and $7 for a few fries is outrageous!

Military Museums
The Overloon War Museum, also known as Oorlogsmuseum Overloon, is a significant museum in the Netherlands dedicated to World War II history. It boasts an extensive collection of military vehicles and weapons, including a German Panther tank that participated in the local battle of Overloon. As one of Europe's oldest WWII museums, it offers a tangible experience for visitors to learn about the war's impact on the Netherlands.
Mainly came here to see the tanks , but it's a very big museum that it would take almost all day to look at everything . I recommend arriving when it opens. Parking next to museum has a good capacity and is free. There's an exhibition about WW2 in the Netherlands and about people who lived during the war in Netherlands + WW2 info. What I really liked was the D-Dex exhibition, it's like a simulation where you could be an American soldier and land in the beaches. I have only a few problems with this simulation... When you're waiting for it to start outside, and you put English, it simply doesn't work. It's still in dutch + add more water, because I could easily pass the water sprinklers and not get wet :) in mostly some of the parts of the museum, it's either in dutch or German. . . But if I'm sure there was an audio guide on their website for the English. Edit: Thanks for the response! When I was waiting for the D-Dex version in English, it had the British flag, so I went in and it was still in dutch. Personally I don't think it's a big problem since there was more English than dutch, but I still liked my experience here!

Štěpán P — Google review
This is a fantastic museum with lots to see and do. I would estimate the museum has around 70-100 military vehicles, including a Horsa Glider, Landing Craft, Tiger Tank, Churchill Tank, Mini Submarine and Mitchell Aircraft. There are many, many others. There are a myriad of shells and armaments, weapons, collectible memorabilia, etc and some very interesting videos. The interactive Atlantic Wall display is incredible. The café is well stocked and prices are very reasonable. The shop is good, but is aimed at the younger visitor. I have two small requests: 1. Please include British descriptions on all of your items on display. 2. In the large interactive room showing the video including the Berlin Wall (I think it was called The Silent/quiet ???), there are some stroboscopic effects that could affect some visitors. A warning sign may be useful. Many thanks.

The monkey splash is an unique slide with transparent parts and is really nice except of the cone. The lines between parts hurt in your back.😔 But the slide itself is fun. 👍🌴 The wave pool is not extremely wild but good for families with little children. The waves come every half an hour. At 15 and 45 in the hour.👍🌴 There is enough seating indoors as well outdoors in the new garden. 👍🌴 The lazy river and the white water river are really nice and with good speed for families. 👍🌴 The bar is called Grabbers Joe and it is beautifully themed in a native style roof from Sumatra Indonesia. There is not a lot of choice but it has a basic. Taste is good. 👍🌴 There are 4 hot tubs placed in the Aqua Mundo, the temperature is nice and relaxing 👍🌴 The crew is friendly and as well alert. So no complains! Same for the lockers and fittingrooms are proper and neat. Same for the whole Aqua Mundo, it looks clean and organized.👍🌴

A large swimming pool similar to many other Center Parcs locations, built to the same original plans as Elvedon in the UK. They haven't invested quite so much in big slides or a modern children's splash park, but still have some interesting features like the "monkey splash" slide starting near the very top of the dome and finishing outside with a "toilet bowl" style element. There is also an outdoor pool where you dive down to viewing windows to see fish and sharks in tanks around the sides. The rapids are fun as usual and not too rough for younger children, if they're daring enough. There is also an activity for older children to go down them on rafts, which looked great fun. The changing rooms are plentiful and recently refurbished, with free lockers operated by your wristband, which is also your room key and ticket for the pool entry.
Chris W — Google review
Facilities condition is a mixed bag: the change rooms and lockers were upgraded a few years ago, are clean and convenient. The pool itself and slides haven’t changed much since I was a child 30 years ago. The were upgrading the wild water bath recently. Hopefully that makes it more attractive again.

Clean, well maintained, barely any queuing. Kids loved all of it, alot! Lots of slides, an outdoor crazy river, indoor rapids, hot tubs, waves every 30 minutes and a pool with underwater viewing windows into an aquarium. There's plenty of seating, lockers and changing rooms and a poolside restaurant.

Had a fantastic stay here. The park is well maintained and there's loads for the kids to do. The pool area is really nice but a little dated in parts. Discovery Bay is amazing. The central dome has a tropical area with flamingos. The kids played here for hours. Staff were friendly. Really enjoyed our stay

We had a super holiday, accommodation was clean and comfortable and the park was great. Loads of activities, £30 of vouchers for you to use, amazing in door play area and a lovely setting. This place would be amazing in the summer with all the water sports they offer. Our only slight disappointment (and it really is slight) we didn't find the aqua mundo as good as the one at Erperheide.
Amy B — Google review
We stayed here for 4 days. Very good especially with small kids and you don't want to leave the park. The central facility with the waterpark is excellent. The water park get very busy and loud though. Typical for centre parks with the big waterpark. The bungalows seem to have been renovated recently and are quite nice.
Jacob G — Google review
A really good place to stay, love the system here of wristbands, this makes all of the stay really easy and efficient, there a good activities and the rooms could be cleaner though. Beds are comfy and nice to sleep in. The aqua mundo is really fun and I recommend to anyone who goes to try out the wild river. Definitely recommend this place and would love to go again

Duitse Oorlogsbegraafplaats Lommel

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
In this vast 39 acre German cemetery lie the remains of over 39,000 military personnel from World War 2, some of whom tragically were children. It also includes a smaller number of interments from World War 1. A basalt crucifix with "John" and "Mary" at its base stands on an entrance crypt designed by Robert Tischler which contains the effegy of a fallen soldier. The area is surrounded by a 1100 metres earthen boundary and midst it's seemingly endless rows of crosses, random trees lend to an atmosphere of dignified peace. Touchingly families still tend to individual graves with personal tributes and embellishments to this day.
Marc P — Google review
It is only when you look closely at the crosses that you realise that these are not individual graves - there can be 2 or 3 soldiers buried on the front side & the same on the rear side of each cross. There are 39,000 dead here......

(Translated by Google) We passed by here by bike and, of course, had to take a look. How impressive. And it's also a beautiful thought that, in a war situation, you still give victims a final resting place. You'd hope that places like this would teach us that things need to change, but unfortunately, right now, east of here, many young people are dying every day for similar goals: power and wealth. (Original) We kwamen hier langs met de fiets en moesten natuurlijk wel gaan kijken. Wat indrukwekkend. En ook een mooie gedachte dat je in een oorlog situatie toch de slachtoffers een laatste rustplaats geeft. Je zou hopen dat we van dit soort plekken leren dat het anders moet, maar helaas gaan er op het moment ten Oosten van hier dagelijks weer vele jonge mensen dood voor gelijkaardige doelen; macht en rijkdom.

Event venue
Toverland is a family-friendly amusement park in the Netherlands that offers magic-themed roller coasters, rides, live shows, and restaurants. It's a great destination for a holiday with children, offering an array of attractions suitable for both thrill-seekers and those seeking a more relaxed experience. The park features well-decorated surroundings and even includes indoor activities for rainy days. Visitors can enjoy various rides and games while also indulging in reasonably priced food options.
What an awesome birthday! 🥳 After years, I finally made it back to a theme park. I let chance completely decide where to go – and ended up at #Toverland in the Netherlands. Best decision ever! For the first time, I brought my camera along to take pictures of #rollercoasters. And what can I say? #Coaster-Spotting was incredibly fun! 📸 I was particularly impressed by how incredibly child- and family-friendly the park is. With the huge indoor hall, the many creative playgrounds, and the cool climbing park, Toverland is an absolute paradise for families, even in bad weather. The food was delicious, the staff was consistently friendly, and the weather showed its best side. Instead of the predicted rain, we had pure sunshine. ☀️ But my personal highlight came at the very end: the "Last Ride" on the wooden roller coaster #Troy. Since I hadn't been on a roller coaster myself in years, this last ride was really emotional for me and the perfect end to a perfect day.
MZ X — Google review
Really nice park. My kids loved it as there was so much for them to do. There was some stuff we didn't manage to do as they were happy just playing in all the various play areas. and there are some rides we couldn't ride due to height restrictions, but we will definitely be back when they are taller to ride them all. The park was very clean and tidy. The theming was really good and the little interactive elements entertained the kids. The shows we watched were good too. I liked how compact the park was as it made it easy to walk around all day no long paths of nothing to walk down. You exited one area and entered another very quickly with something new and exciting to find around each corner.

Really nice theme park. Not very crowded, clean and well maintained. If you like rollercoasters, this is a nice park to be. There are, at least four or five. The wooden and the Fenix ones are for adrenaline people. Awesome. We liked it a lot. It is great for kids from 4 and up.

Came a few weeks ago, honestly had the best day. We were fortunate to have blue sky's and sunshine. Definitely our favourite theme park we have ever visited.

This park was really good for all ages. They had plenty of rides for little ones and also had rides for bigger kids and adults. I can't say anything about the food as we took lunch with us as we didn't want to waste time waiting for food. If you plan your day right you can see the whole park in one day.

The main rides are alright. When we were there werent many guests so I can‘t really judge the queues. Food was good, really liked the Pasta inside the hall. Friendly staff members all around, especially the guy on the climbing activity
T K — Google review
Very nice park. Most of the attractions had a queue line under 15 minutes which obviously is ideal. Although a few rides had a very low capacity almost everything was doable. Enough spaces to rest, eat and relax next to all the thrills. And an appreciation towards the park for keeping everything clean non-stop.

Designer Outlet Roermond

Shopping mall
Shopping
Designer Outlet Roermond is situated in the southeastern part of the Netherlands, with a rich history dating back to Roman times. The city of Roermond boasts iconic Dutch architecture, traditional houses, and picturesque streets that reflect its centuries-old heritage. It is also renowned as Europe's premier destination for outlet shopping. The outlet attracts visitors from near and far, with peak hours typically occurring around 2 PM on Sundays.
Visited here Sunday afternoon. If you want to go shopping on Sunday and you are near this area, this is the place to do it. First, parking is €7 per visit. Not a bad deal if you are shopping multiple hours here. They have covered parking garage as well. Plenty of parking including EV charging available during my visit. The shops located here are superb. They have high end luxury brands as well as other well known brands offering decent discount price. Some perks: they have many places to eat, shaded places to sit down to rest, and the visitor’s center has a free water station so you can drink water for free. And washrooms are clean and free to use also. We spent about three hours total knowing which stores to visit/shop and the experience was simply fantastic. We also ate at a couple of places and the price was more on the expensive side (due to the exclusive location) while food tasted quite good. The layout of the shopping center is nicely done and “fun”, navigating around is definitely easy. And you can tell the entire place is well maintained and clean. The Sunday crowd seemed to be increasing in the afternoon, so I would think coming here early is a good idea.
Boots N — Google review
One of the best shopping outlets I have been to. There are so many stores from probably all popular brands in this complex. The layout is easy to navigate with multiple food points, coffee shops and kiosks for snacks. A decently large free of cost play area for kids, two minutes walk to the city center, very reasonable day parking fees, clean and free toilets on every corner make this outlet fantastic for shopping, eating out or just strolling through the great crowd. Highly recommended.
SACHIT V — Google review
Top top 👍👍👍 Great place to buy clothes, you can always find something with good prices and discounts. The only drawback is that on weekends it is terribly crowded, you literally have to wait in line in front of certain stores because of the excessive number of people inside at that moment. My recommendation would be to avoid visiting on weekends or arm yourself with patience, everything else 5 star ⭐️…

Bokrijk Open Air Museum, located between Genk and Hasselt, is a popular destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of Belgium. The museum features period buildings and furniture that showcase village life before WWI, offering visitors a glimpse into the architectural design of the nineteenth century. Additionally, the outdoor playground at Bokrijk provides entertainment for all ages with giant slides, jungle gyms, and adaptive equipment for disabled children.
This place is amazing, they should have gotten 5 stars. It's huge, full of fun stuff to do and see, for kids and all age. The ticket price, resto price, and workshop price are very friendly. We visited yesterday with our two kids , and in 1/2 day did not finish to see everything because we wanted to spend time in every stops we saw. I will surely come back
Puji K — Google review
When someone tells me "open air museum" I think of a small open farm-type area with 4 or 5 houses and some old machinery depicting what the old times were. Bokrijk Open-Air Museum exceeded my expectations! With over 150 authentic buildings, it's a vast and immersive experience that transports you back in time. From historic homes and farms to working watermills and traditional crafts, there's so much to explore. The attention to detail and sensory experiences make it a standout destination. A must-visit for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique Family day out in Belgium! Parking is 5 eur, entrance fee 17 eur pp, and very much worth it. Don't skip the bread tasting at the bakery ;)

Bokrijk Open Air Museum Bokrijk is an extraordinary open-air museum where you can step back in time and truly feel the atmosphere of past centuries. Walking through the vast grounds surrounded by beautiful nature, you get the impression that life from hundreds of years ago comes alive before your eyes. What stands out most is the authentic architecture – old cottages, farmhouses, and craftsmen’s workshops – everything is faithfully recreated to reflect the spirit of traditional villages. Every detail has been carefully designed, allowing visitors to genuinely experience what everyday life used to be like. Apart from its historical value, Bokrijk also captivates with its landscapes. The surrounding nature, picturesque views, and peaceful atmosphere make a visit here not only a history lesson but also a wonderful opportunity to relax. It’s definitely a place worth visiting – both for adults, who will appreciate the richness of culture and tradition, and for children, who can see history come to life in an engaging way. Bokrijk is a journey through time that leaves lasting memories.

Interesting and super nice road into history. Lots of things to see and do for families, also small ones. Roads are all accessible. Workshops for kids are very nice. Take into account that it takes 3-4 hours do it at all at minimum. At the entrance though the weed could be cut. Very nice place to spend a sunday with the family.

Awesome open air museum. All the information boards are available in English. Only a few videos in Dutch were not available in English. We met one awesome worker (a baker) who spoke very good English who we talked with for a while. The site is huge. We probably saw a little over half of it on our day there. I especially liked the 60s section. Be prepared for lots of walking.

This place is a little (big) gem. Great for a fun day out with the kids with plenty to do and space to run around without costing too much (€37 for a family). We were there for 4 hours and didn't manage to see it all. Lots of playing games and exploring the old ways of life. There's also an amazing separate huge park/playground in the site (free). Parking is a reasonable €5. Really happy we came. Had a great time
Dave T — Google review
A great place to spend your weekend! At first I thought it would be just another boring museum, but it turned out to be really interesting. We really enjoyed seeing different master classes like how to make ropes, oils from the flaxseeds and nuts. We even tried their local bakery goods, and they were delicious 👍🏻 We also loved playing games, it was really fun and entertaining. During our walk between the houses, we saw not just the architecture of the houses, but also the everyday life of local peasants like a teacher, a priest, a housewife and a gardener. It was really fun to watch their acting. Besides that, there are lots of live animals, all are very well cared for. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The parking costs 5€, and the horse carriage ride 5€ per person. The price of the ticket is 17€ and it is definitely worth it.

Lovely experience, we were here for an afternoon as left it rather late, in not the best of weather. An entire day would have been better. We spoke english and found it easy to navigate. The restaurant served lovely food in nice surroundings. The whole family got a quick go at spinning a clay pot. I read some of the more negative reviews out of curiosity and honestly they're unrecognisable to the place I visited which was freindly with a number of interesting exhibits. To note visited with autistic child and found it friendly and welcoming with enough to engage, the site is quite large so plan accordingly.

Stayed extra day to see coal mine. There is no mine, it has been concreted up. If you pay 10 euros you can go see a ventilator shaft that was 6 meters underground. Nothing to do with where miners went or worked. The historic film explains how the mine has become an art center. Just a sad place and dishonest in pretending to be about coal mining.

Interesting quest along the way. Our three sons were full of wonder and admiration for the miners and learned a lot from them. We as adults were also impressed. We certainly found the VR experience to be an added value. We found it quite challenging to find the cricket at the end, but we did it. Expedition successful! Enthusiastic greetings from Antwerp!

(Translated by Google) Probably a fun visit for children. For adults interested in the history of the miners, there's little history, stories, or footage from back then. There are no artifacts or working materials on display. If you want to immerse yourself in how people used to work here, you're better off checking out YouTube or arranging for a local guide. (Original) Voor kinderen waarschijnlijk wel een leuk bezoek. Voor volwassen mensen die geïnteresseerd zijn in de geschiedenis van de mijnwerkers: weinig geschiedenis en verhalen of beeldmateriaal van toen. Geen artefacten of werkmateriaal te zien.

The Japanese Garden in Hasselt is a serene and picturesque oasis, offering visitors a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As the largest of its kind in Europe, this beautifully crafted landscape features charming stone bridges spanning peaceful ponds teeming with graceful koi fish. Visitors can immerse themselves in Japanese culture through various events such as tea tastings and floral workshops.
The garden looks small on the maps, but you can easily spend at least 2 hours wandeling between the water streams and the Japanese trees and blossoms. You don't really need to book a ticket online. We were a group of 4. We couldn't find any available ones online, but we managed to buy them at the entrance

Beautiful place, especially during springtime. The nature is stunning and the atmosphere is very peaceful. Everything is well designed, clean, and professionally maintained. You can really feel the spirit of Japan throughout the garden, making the experience even more special. Within the complex, there is also a traditional Japanese house, which is very interesting to visit. There is plenty of space to walk around, relax on benches, and enjoy the sun. All in all, I highly recommend this place to everyone.

A Japanese themed garden in Hasselt. There is an entrance fee of 7 euro. Inside are Japanese style houses, stream with koi fishes and cherry trees. Its quite beautiful when the cherry trees are blossoming. They sell Japanese food inside but a bit overpriced. It takes just an hour to tour the place. Might not be worth it if there are no cherry blossoms.

Went on 1rst of May. A little bit crowded near the waterfalls however the picknickzone is perfect to enjoy and relax. Nice place to visit. Parking too small, I went to the Park H, max 10 minutes by foot from the japanese gardens.
Marie C — Google review
Pros: The staff was nice! Cons: It was way too crowded to actually enjoy the peace of a Japanese garden. Couldn't find a quiet spot to just relax and take it all in. Honestly, it wasn't worth the trip or the money. Such a shame.

Airy rooms, some with balconies, in an elegant hotel offering 2 restaurants, a spa & yoga classes.
My visit was very short only for one night and it was for some business stuff at Nedcar. It was very nice, the room was wonderful and it had a small terasse perfect for a quick smoke....... The bed was very comfortable, the rooms was clean, the breakfast was perfect. Sadly I couldnt try the Spa area as it was a no-clothes day 😁 If I have another visits in the area I will gladly stay there ones more. I totally recommend it to you!

Pleasant experience overall however we had booked a luxury room and the bubble bath was not working for covid measures and it was not mentioned before we had booked it. The terms are quite nice and there the bubble baths were working which is a bit contradictory. Breakfast was ok with few warm dishes ( eggs bacon .. ) as well as bread fruits,.. and tasty. The room was quiet but we might expect something a bit nicer for a 4 star hotel.

Bad service, food is horrible yet quite expensive: raw vegetables, tiny portions of the protein like a half duck breast for dinner, when ordering red bass fish you get a 5 by 2 cm piece with a small cheap thin white fish next to it to make up the lack of whatever you ordered). The fries that were to acompany these tiny portions didnt arrive at all and we needed to ask the manager. It took them one whole hour the serve the main dish after the entree (tiny bowl of soup). Even the drinks took each time about 30 minutes to arrive. Then the rooms. No ventilation except for a balcony door, which you don't want to open because of the busy highway right across this hotel. In summer it's extremely hot. The beds are hard, the pillows as soft and barely existing. When we arrived we had to change rooms because of the loud noise coming form our bathroom. The whole building looks like it's falling apart wholes in ceilings and walls, leaking bathrooms, stains on walls.it looks like someone stopped caring for it a good while ago. And the forest they claim to be situated next to does also nog exist, its farming land. Please don't waste your money.

OK up to a point. Hotel itself is nice; in need of modernising but still retains a nice charm. Bedroom is functional, again in need of some modern touches and the bathroom could do with a lick of paint and some new tiles. Restaurant service was a disgrace however. Despite there being fewer than 8 people eating that evening, it still took 2 hours for a bowl of onion soup and a chicken satay. When it did arrive it wasn't hot. Staff were apologetic but that's not the point. Personally I wouldn't recommend on that alone.

This place needs renovation urgently. The room door doesn't open or close properly. Shower cabin is so tiny that your elbow keep hitting the wall/cabin. Each time your neighbor gets in or out of the room is a loud bang as I suppose their doors don't work properly. There is no lobby for people to chill while waiting for others. For the price of the hotel, it really good do with a upgrade.

What a beautiful place, we enjoyed a super relaxing day in your wellness palace. Everything is well maintained, nicely illuminated. Plenty of saunas and baths to choose from (indoor to outdoor pool, foot bath, hot baths with and without herbal ingredients, whirlpool, Finnish sauna, Hamam, steam room, Herbal sauna with light therapy, crystal salt sauna, cold bath, several showers etc etc etc). Decent clientele, lovely restaurant with wonderful meal options. I'd rate this facility with five stars but unfortunately after checking out we noticed that they billed all dining items extra although we chose for the 3 course menu since it appeared to be a good deal. It clearly states "3 courses of your choice" for 29,50 EUR p.p. but the check out girl said we chose something else apart from the recommended menu by the chef which is completely not true. The waitress did not even present the chef's recommendation nor interrupted us while ordering that any of those items would be extra or not included. So we had a nasty surprise while checking out. Receptionist was not very cooperative and tried to make us believe we did something wrong. Honestly we are talking about maybe 9 EUR but it's just about the way of transparency/service/complaint management. So this experience left kind of a taste which is a pity since we had a really relaxing day. So, basically I'd rate this wellness facility with five stars but due to the unpleasant surprise on our bill and the suboptimal way of dealing with our complaint I'll take off one star. *** UPDATE JANUARY 2017 *** After our second visit we experienced a text book handling with our complaint, therefore I gladly rate with five stars. Thanks a lot!

My first impressions was, this cannot be a 4 star hotel. But I said let's take a look first. Hotel it self looks ok. It was a hot day in May when we visited this hotel. The rooms were run down and there was no Air conditioning nor a fan. No mini bar, or swimming pool, just an old television that did not work because the wall outlets were broken and hanging loose. This is not a place I would like to visit again.

It was one of the worst top flight arenas to get to that I have ever been to. There was regular busses taking everyone that arrived by train from Dusseldorf going through small streets with congested traffic. It built in an absolute no man's land. (And old US airfield?). The arena itself is ok, with all the beer and brats you expect from a german arena.

This is a great stadium to watch a match in. I don't think there are many bad seats. Arrive early because entry into the stadium was congested. I would give it a 5 star rating, but the number of people smoking inside the stadium was a turn-off, especially when you're at the match with your kids.

Maastricht, Markt is a large square with a variety of shops and dining options. While it may not have the same allure as the 'Vrijthof' square, it is definitely worth a visit. The Maastricht town hall serves as the centerpiece of this well-known square, which hosts markets on Wednesdays and Fridays, including an extensive fish market. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk around the square and explore the different places to eat or drink.
The market is always full of people and is place of leisure. It was good to walk around there

Book Store Dominicanen, situated in Maastricht, the Netherlands, is a captivating literary destination set within a medieval church dating back to the 13th century. This unique indie bookstore offers an array of Dutch and English titles across various genres and international selections. The stunning architecture of the former Dominican church provides a serene ambiance for book lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
Walking into Dominicanen feels like entering a literary sanctuary. The moment you step inside this former church, you're struck by the incredible atmosphere - centuries-old stone walls, soaring Gothic arches, and thousands of books creating the most inspiring environment for book lovers. I spent hours here just wandering through the different sections, each level offering new perspectives of this architectural marvel. The café is perfect for settling in with a new purchase and soaking in the unique ambiance. What impressed me most was how they've managed to create a fully functional modern bookstore while maintaining the sacred, contemplative feeling of the original space. The staff clearly takes pride in this special place. Whether you buy anything or not, this bookstore offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Pure magic for anyone who loves books, history, or beautiful spaces.

It amazing how the Dutch people repurposed their old church and became a such beautiful bookstore. The title of most beautiful bookstore in the world is second to none! The old church Become a bookstore is much better some of the other churches became a bar and restaurant or some became an apartments if you asked me! You can slap have a cup of coffee or something in the back of the bookstore to admire the old church of the bookstore or the book you just purchased!

Absolutely stunning bookstore inside a historic church. The architecture is breathtaking, the books are well-curated, and the little café adds a cozy touch.

Boekhandel Dominicanen is truly one of the most beautiful bookstores I have ever visited. Located inside a stunning former church, it offers a magical atmosphere enhanced by colorful lighting that makes the place even more captivating. The book selection is broad and well curated. However, it can get very crowded at times, especially on weekends, likely because many tourists come just to look around, so going up the stairs can feel quite packed and a bit uncomfortable.

Such an amazing place!! It was my first time visiting bookstore that used to be a church. There are murals on the dome and beautiful, calm marble details near the bookshelves. Even though I didn’t find a book I wanted, just sitting in the cafe with a coffee and soaking in the atmosphere was a joy in itself. The café takes last orders at 5:45 PM. It looks like they only serve non-alcoholic drinks at the moment, it’d be perfect if they offer a glass of 🥂 too!

Basilica of Our Lady

Mentioned on

Basilica
Museums
The Basilica of Our Lady, also known as Slevrouwe, is a Romanesque Catholic church located in Maastricht. It was primarily built in the 11th and 12th centuries on the site of an earlier religious building dating back to the 5th century AD. The basilica features stained-glass windows and is a fine example of Mosan architecture.
The Basilica of Our Lady in Maastricht is one of those places that quietly stays with you. Stepping through its heavy Romanesque doors, I felt like I had entered a sanctuary carved out of time itself. The dim light, the scent of candles, and the silence inside the Star of the Sea chapel create a sense of peace that’s almost sacred. It’s not flashy or overwhelming—it’s intimate, timeless, and deeply moving. A quiet corner of the city where history and faith still breathe.
Felipe B — Google review
The Basilica of our Lady is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. It’s one of the oldest churches in the Netherlands and has amazing architecture. The inside is quiet and full of history, with high ceilings, colorful windows, and old religious items.
Lelanie D — Google review
A beacon of faith in Maastricht's historic center, the Basilica of Our Lady ⛪ is a magnificent example of Mosan-Romanesque architecture. Built in the 11th and 12th centuries, its formidable, fortress-like westwork was designed for defense as well as worship. Known locally as Slevrouwe (Star of the Sea), the basilica has been a significant pilgrimage site for centuries, revered for its 15th-century statue of the Virgin Mary. The dark, contemplative interior, with its ancient crypt and valuable treasury, offers a powerful glimpse into the city's deep religious and cultural heritage. The Basilica of Our Lady is a true cornerstone of Maastricht, embodying centuries of history and devotion.

A church that is free to duck out of the rain. The main chapel has very pretty stain glass. There's a small chapel that's open outside of the time for the main church for a quick prayer. Museum portion is 5 euros/person and is separate (Sept 2024). Sort of eerie in a storm, not well lit.

Fort Sint Pieter is an 18th-century hill fort located in a nature and recreation park between Maastricht and Liege. Originally built to defend against the French, it now offers guided tours and is connected to the famous caves of St. Pietersberg via tunnels. The caves, with a total length of 200 kilometers, feature ancient fossils and remnants from World War II.
This place is well-run. The restrooms are free with your ticket. We booked the Fort Tour and enjoyed it so much that we added on the Mine caves tour. I liked how the guide asked questions and explained the reasoning behind the design of the canon shooting area of the fort’s bunkers, for example.

Really cool place to visit as it is rich in history and you get a nice view of the surrounding areas. You can walk on your own but to be honest the best thing you can do is get a guided tour. We had a very lady guiding us and telling us the purpose of the place and how it was used back in the day. Tour wasn't very long and you can get another tour in the underground exhibit on a different theme. All in all I recommend this experience to enhance your knowledge of Maastricht.

Our excursion was in English. Although our guide was not a native English speaker, his story was coherent and interesting. It was a please listening to our guide because he was passionate about the fort’s history! I’m sorry I didn’t ask for his name. If you are interested in architecture or engineering, it’s definitely worth visiting. It might amaze you to see how smart those people were so many centuries ago!

Well worth a visit, this place was amazing. Would advise to dress accordingly as it is cool once you are underground. Our tour guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The history behind these tunnels makes them almost magical and with the artwork dotted throughout makes it all the more interesting. Our tour took just under an hour and we'll worth the money. Unfortunately it did not include the vault so if you want to see that check your booking and I believe it is another 40mins.

My visit to Sint Pieter Fort and the North Caves at Maastricht Underground was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning historical site and its fascinating stories. Our tour guide, Ton, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about the history and significance of the fort and caves. His engaging storytelling and deep insights made the tour both educational and entertaining. Ton’s ability to bring history to life is commendable, and he ensured that everyone in our group, regardless of age, had a wonderful time. The tour itself was well-organized and offered great value for money. We explored the intriguing tunnels of the North Caves, learning about their historical uses and the various artworks hidden within. The cool, dark caves provided a stark contrast to the sunny fort above, making for a diverse and exciting experience. Sint Pieter Fort, with its impressive structure and panoramic views of Maastricht, was another highlight. Ton’s explanations of the fort’s strategic importance and the events that took place there added depth to our visit. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. It was both fun and informative, and we left with a greater appreciation for Maastricht’s rich history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Don’t miss out on this gem of an experience!

It is a captivating blend of history and nature. The fortress, steeped in rich history and guided by knowledgeable experts, offers an immersive experience for history enthusiasts. What truly sets this site apart are the intriguing underground caves and tunnels, revealing the fort's military secrets. I was enchanted by the cool, dimly lit passageways, which add a mysterious charm to the visit. Surrounded by panoramic views of rolling hills and the serene Maas River, this hidden gem provides a unique and unforgettable journey through time and natural beauty. Highly recommended for a fascinating adventure.

Mondo Verde is a 25-hectare theme park and animal park located in Park Gravenrode, Landgraaf. It features international gardens showcasing various cultures, along with attractions such as a dinosaur forest, zoo, and aviary. Visitors can enjoy family-friendly rides and explore the diverse range of animals on display. The park also offers an all-you-can-eat dining option with a variety of food and drink choices. Additionally, Mondo Verde provides a water park for summer fun.
Pancakes were nice, but would be nicer with Nutella. Slush puppies were good but they had only 1 flavour. Water slides were super fun! The gardens were interesting. Tomato soup was not edible. We will definitely visit again.
Maria V — Google review
Overall, the park is enjoyable and offers a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is nice, and it’s a good place to spend time. Pros: The zoo is fantastic! There’s a wide variety of animals, and you can even interact with some of them, which makes it great for families and animal lovers. Cons: - Games: The selection of games is limited, with only a few options, so it feels a bit lacking in activities. - Food and Drinks: Unfortunately, the food could use some improvement. It lacks flavor, and the juice tastes like it’s mostly water. - The coffee was disappointing as well.
Mohamad T — Google review
I’ve read so mixed reviews until now. My kids are 12 and 9 years old, and they loved the place. They went in all the attractions, enjoyed to the most. We could see the panther, lions, tigers and kids we amazed. As a parent I do agree with some people about how small the animal’s enclosure are and that they don’t look that lively. There’s free food and it was not hard to find - it was on the map of the park. The free food is ok and there’s also free drinks, which was really nice on a hot day! The attractions could receive more attention. There many rusts spots, in some places I was almost concerned of the quality of the material. My kids loved and want to go back there and we might go back. Ah there enough places with shade and cover for rain if needed.
Jonatas D — Google review
This is one of the best value parks I have ever seen. For 25 euros we could stay there all day from 10-5, eat as much as we like and also drink. The zoo parts are very well maintained and the animals look healthy and happy. There are some incredible rides for the kids (all included), and adults! Very relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend a visit.

I am shocked by how animals can still be treated like this in 2025. Wild animals exposed to noise, close to people and causing them A LOT of stress. Their environment is ridiculously SMALL for what’s truly in their nature. I actively disencourage people to come here. Too little people are aware of what is actually going, even behind the scenes. I didn’t see food, camels were eating some grass on the stones. Not shaved correctly, in a cruel state of health. I hope that animal welfare associations can have an impact on the continuity of this park. Some animals are even inside in such a small, cold cage. On the picture here below we dont see them, they hid. But very saddening.

Sarah M — Google review
Not recommended: beautiful park that is overcrowded when the weather is nice and serious food safety deficiencies. Landscape park and gardens are very beautiful, nice to watch the animals. However, many animals are kept in (too) small enclosures; out of date as far as I'm concerned. A bird in a closed part of the park has a broken beak that has been duct taped together; this should of course be solved more animal-friendly. The park is not at all designed to handle the high numbers of visitors: enormous queues that Efteling does not even have. This undercapacity also undermines the all-you-can-eat concept: waiting 45 minutes for a small bowl of (over)cooked pasta is no exception. Slush puppy machines are defective, empty, or contain syrup that is too warm or ice mass that is too frozen. Most bizarre is the staff at Villa Toscane who repeatedly (!) drops sandwiches on the floor and then without batting an eyelid puts them back on the pile of food offered. Toilets are not cleaned for hours: poop is on the walls. If you ask the staff for toilet paper, they don't understand you or they can't help you. Staff at at least two attractions do not speak Dutch, English or German and do not know what to do during a disruption. Water park 'Pirate Splash' is not open in May, even when it is 26°C (this is stated on the website if you search carefully). And please note: charging your electric car here is not an option: the available charging station is “reserved for the management of Mondo Verde”.

Hotel Snowworld Landgraaf

Mentioned on

Hotel
Outdoor Activities
Nestled within the vibrant SnowWorld Landgraaf indoor winter sports resort, Hotel Snowworld Landgraaf offers a modern retreat for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation. Guests can enjoy spacious accommodations with comfortable beds, although some may find the bathroom layout a bit unconventional due to its glass doors that provide little privacy. The hotel boasts an impressive dining experience with delicious meals available for breakfast and dinner at reasonable prices.
Very spacious and well lit rooms. Excellent soundproofing, everything is very clean, and the bathroom and shower are equipped with everything you need: shampoo, shower gel, etc. It takes just a few minutes to get from the ski slopes to the rooms, and you can reach them from the restaurant (first floor) with a convenient elevator. Breakfast is served at the Off Piste Self Service (1st floor). Free parking. It is certainly a bit more expensive than a hotel in Landgraaf, but the convenience justifies the cost. Highly recommended.

Solid 3 stars overall, rooms are decent size with nice modern sink and wooden paneling, a desk, a couch. Sliding door between toilet and shower is a weird but I guess it works. Beds are a little lumpy and walls are thin, but it’s very convenient for a ski weekend. The restaurants are quite good downstairs, and you have instant access to the slopes!

If you book a room at a genuinely good price and your focus is 100% on the snow activities, accepting the room as a purely functional (and somewhat lacking) place to sleep and shower, then it serves its purpose. The convenience to the slopes is truly unmatched. However, if room comfort, a good night's sleep, or climate control are priorities for you, the current state of the rooms is a bit disappointing and needs improvements. Book for the snow, manage your expectations for the room, and aim for a bargain price. You will have a nice trip ;-)

The location is excellent, offering very convenient access to the ski slopes. Sitting in the bar and bistro areas to enjoy food and drinks is pleasant, as you can comfortably watch the skiers. The snacks here are tasty. We paid €17 per person for breakfast, but the variety was very poor. On multiple days, I noticed that the cucumbers were not washed properly, with soil visible on their skins—this was quite careless. However, the part that disappointed me the most was the condition of the rooms. When we arrived, the heating system in the hotel was completely non-functional due to a technical issue. Although they provided a heater after we called to report it—which was nice—the overall cleanliness of the rooms was unacceptable. Upon entering the room for the first time, there were clearly visible layers of dust on the floor. Cleaning was scheduled only once every three days, and after returning to the room on the third day, we found that we couldn’t enter because the cleaning staff had inserted the “Do Not Disturb” sign into the card slot. This required us to go back to the reception to get a new key. Once we managed to enter the room, we found the beds had been made, but the floors were still untouched. Worse, while the duvet was being arranged, additional dust from under the beds had been stirred up and scattered around the room. I called reception again to report this, and they promised to send someone to clean, but even by the next day, no one showed up. Another major issue was the extremely thin walls. We could hear everything from the neighboring rooms, including conversations.

While the location is very good next to the indoor ski area, the rooms are awful. Beds are noisy, toilet/shower combination is not practical, no proper heating in the rooms, cleaning in every 3 days, tasteless scrambled egg every morning. In short, the hotel itself is creating a very bad experience. Update: it is getting weirder everyday, the hotel room is full of dirt just after cleaning, dirtier than before. Update 2: reception and ski center are very much disconnected. The reception sells the wrong tickets (as they don't fully understand the ski center) and you are to blame for buying the wrong tickets.

We booked for 2 ppl and a kid. said the kid was for free. Came to the reception and had to pay amost 45€ extra. The girl in the reception asked ”and where is she gonna sleep?!” instead of informing us. Really bad and not recommended, this hotel really charges extra for nothing!

The flexibility of the hotel is the worst I have ever experienced in my life. I made an error in my booking and booked a night from Tuesday to Wednesday instead from Monday to Tuesday. I discovered this during check-in in Monday at 15:20 (official check-in is 15:00). I asked what are the options, i.e. if it's possible to shift my booking by one day to the front. This was denied with the reason that a room needs to be cancelled 24 hours prior they check-in day. The hotel insisted to pay the wrongly booked night for 126€ (the breakfast was taken off as a "gesture if good will") and offered me to book an additional night for 142€, since they have rooms available. This is from customer friendliness and service point of view a clear desaster. I would have even accepted a penalty of 20€ for the effort of late cancellation. Errors can happen everywhere, I admitted my error and the flexibility offered was zero. It looks more like a rip-off, since the guest in need needs to stay somewhere and this would have been a good opportunity for selling two rooms. I am sorry that I have to give my first bad review ever, but it's the truth.

GaiaZOO

Mentioned on 
21 lists 
Zoo
Outdoor Activities
GaiaZOO is a modern zoo featuring animals from around the world, an indoor dinosaur park, and a petting zoo. The zoo offers well-planned routes that are easily accessible by foot, wheelchair, or baby prams. Visitors can enjoy various food options at multiple restaurants and ample seating areas throughout the park. The enclosures are spacious with multiple viewing areas, and there are play areas for children. Additionally, there is a large tower to ascend for panoramic views of the surroundings.
I can give this zoo 6 x⭐️ ! End up in Aachen without any entertainment for my toddler child and randomly found this zoo. We had multiple wow moments! Highly recommended!

The park itself is an unbelievably beautiful and one can see that tit was a huge terraforming effort. On the downside, too many animals were missing/sleeping/away/not visible or our timing was off perhaps. A few others were replaced by plastic copies (like snakes / frogs etc.) with a toddler it is an amazing full day activity. It will take you 5 to 6 hours or even hours to cover everything, including one or two meals, and perhaps some playground time

Really nice zoo. Maybe one of the best (together with the Arhem) zoo in the Netherlands. The environment was so natural, green, well preserve and maintained. Just beautiful. The animals were happy, well fed. There are plenty of places to have your own picnic meal. You can buy food as well. Toilets are available and many playgrounds for kids. The parking is 8.50€ per day. The entrance is cheaper in September onwards, but still a bit expensive. Not so many animals but the ones they have are super nice. My favorite area was the giraffes. They have, at least, four or five. Lovely. I strongly advise to use the Gaia zoo app to navigate the map. Otherwise the zoo paths are entangled.

It's one of the best zoos i have been to! Lots of vegetation and trees for shades. Even on hot days, it cool enough to walk around. Wide spaces for the animals and lots of small places to look at the animals for children. Also the food and drinks are good and a lot of variations.
Julian W — Google review
Gaia Zoo has a nice environment, but there are fewer animals than in our own garden. The entrance fee is very high – €28 just for a walk through a pretty park. There are more snack bars and restaurants than animals. Total waste of money for the ticket.

Great place for small children..they have a huge indoor dino inspired playground. It was very crowded when I visited so limited views and small viewing areas. Expensive food &:drinks, but expected..but I thought it was amazing that they had free sunscreen stations 👍🏼😀

Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Remains of 7,992 US soldiers interred in a cemetery run by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
The largest American WWII memorial in Belgium. Beautiful and educational space with each state and some territories’ seals engraved on the building. Right on a main road and worth stopping for at least a few minutes. (Note the parking seems to close earlier than the memorial; 4 vs 5pm as of Sept 2024.)

They say, “If you stand still, you fall behind.” But in a place like this, you have to stand still. To pause. To reflect. On what was lost — so many lives, taken in the name of God, of money, of ideas that lost all meaning in the bloodshed. And yet, humanity seems to have learned so little. How many more must die before we truly understand what peace means? A place filled with silence. But the silence screams.

I arrived here somewhat by accident just out on a bike ride after taking part in the Liege Bastogne Liege event and when I parked up my bike just outside I was met by a somewhat stern warden who told me I couldn’t leave it there. When I spoke to her I told her I had been to several American cemeteries including the Somme and elsewhere in Belgium. Once she realised I was genuinely interested her mood completely changed and I was actually given a place inside the building to keep my bike whilst I visited the cemetery. Like all American cemeteries here in France and Belgium this place of burial and remembrance is absolutely immaculate, sad and intriguing at the same time, a fitting reminder to all those who gave up their lives in the great wars.

Beautiful cemetery grounds. Peaceful and much quieter and less crowded than Normandy. Very worth a visit. Parking lot is small. There is a WC on the opposite side of the cemetery from the parking lot, just look for the sign.

A deeply moving and highly impressive place, which brings home the cost of freedom paid by so many young American men so far from home. The members of staff are excellent and very helpful.

Beautiful and moving. 7,987 American Soldiers who lost their lives during WWII rest here. Humbled to have visited to pay respect.
Michael M — Google review
Very emotional visit. If you're in Belgium and can make a stop, I highly suggest visiting some of the men who gave their all for the liberation of Europe in WWII. If you're looking to visit please either have a tour group ready to help you get there or rent a car. It's probably too far to walk and the small country road doesn't have a side walk.

This was a lovely spa experience. This was my first German Spa experience and I loved it! I would highly recommend this to anyone. When we first arrived, I made an appointment at the spa for an hour massage. It was amazing and relaxing. He was extremely professional yet personable. I felt very at ease and booked again for the day we left. He came in early to accommodate our early departure. He made tea and gave little snacks after the second appointment. It was wonderful! Call early to book a massage! Two of the best massages I have ever received. The hotel room was nice, the beds could do with a little upgrade. Very clean! The hotel staff were always attentive and even though we speak little German, they were very patient with us. The breakfasts and dinners were also wonderful. The staff were efficient and friendly. We will be back, hopefully we can stay longer than 3 days!

Unfortunately as tourists from a foreign country we did know that such services are traditionally nude without segregation between men and women. The staff did not bother to tell us about this even though we had a small child with us, and adressed them in English language to show that we are not locals.

Nice Spa with 7 different sauna's and an outdoor warm swimming pool. The food in the evening was terrible but breakfast was great! Hotel rooms are dated.

Fantastic thermal bath pretty much on the Belgium-German boarder. Super friendly staff and with a family atmosphere. With 7 possible more different saunas. Good and well prepared food. We will be back soon.
