The miniature model park of Mini Europe allows you to sample the charms specific to each European country. An adventure you'll experience nowhere else!

Stroll in the typical ambience of the most beautiful cities of the Old Continent. The unmistakable chimes of Big Ben welcome you to the heart of London. The gondolas and mandolins serenade you with the charms of Venice. Take the Thalys from Paris to the furthest end of France. At the airport, planes are ready to take off to the Copenhagen Stock Exchange, the Acropolis in Athens or the canals of Old Amsterdam.

Many animations create a lively atmosphere... let Mount Vesuvius explode and feel the earthquake. Break down the Berlin Wall. A little Finnish girl will dive into the icy waters of the Olavinlinna Lake as often as you want. Cry 'ole, ole! to encourage the matador in the arena. More than 350 sites and monuments have been reconstructed down to the finest details and set in a suitable green setting with their own typical ambience.

You have the option to combine entry to Mini-Europe with entry to Oceade. This water attraction park contains open air and covered zones featuring waterslides, wave swimming pool, sauna land, amusements, Aqua fun house and whirlpool. At a barmy 29 degrees, Oceade is the perfect place to cool off in the heat of a European summer.

In Waterloo you will visit the battlefield (all visits are optional), where you can see the historical farmsteads as well as the monuments erected by the Nations that participated in the battle.

Stop and choose to visit the Panorama painting (by L. Dumoulin), and the Visitor's Center, where you can join an audiovisual reconstruction of the battle. There is also some free time to climb the Lion Hill. All visits on the battlefields are optional.

You will also have time to visit the Royal Army History Museum if you wish.

For a change of scenery, travel to the remarkable medieval Castle of Gaasbeek, where in the 16th century the Count of Egmond lived. It houses important collections of furniture, porcelain, arms, silverware and tapestries from the 15th and 16th century.
