A Guide to Kid-Friendly Activities in Brussels, Brussels, Belgium
Before planning a holiday, we always include activities catering to our son’s interests, keeping him as excited as we are. When creating the itinerary, we plan one special activity for him each day, something he can look forward to.
This was the trip’s highlight for Yuven - a huge LEGO fan. He had been wanting to visit a LEGO-themed play space for a long time. Initially, we had considered visiting the LEGO Center in Den Haag, but due to time constraints, we opted for the LEGO Discovery Center in Brussels instead. It was easily accessible from our hotel via a direct tram ride.
We booked our tickets online on the same day through their website, paying €80 for two adults and a child, including a photo pass. However, I recommend booking in advance to save a few euros (around 7 euros). The ticket also included an SNCB train pass, although we didn’t use it.
There were plenty of activities to enjoy, and we spent 4-5 hours there, though it still felt like we could have stayed longer. LEGO lovers could easily spend 6-7 hours exploring. Our highlights included the Imagination Express, 4D cinema, mini-figure creator, the workshop, spaceship build and scan, and the build adventures. Keep in mind that the 4D cinema and workshop are held at specific times, so plan accordingly. We watched two 4D shows-one in Dutch and the other with sound and music without any coversation. Famous monuments were also built using LEGOs and displayed in a display area. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
