BOOK ACTIVITY

Mini-Europe

1 Avenue du Football, Bruxelles, Bruxelles

Description

Mini-Europe is a miniature park with reproductions of over 350 landmarks in 80 European cities enlivened by moving decorative items such as train models. The reproduction is done at the 1:25 scale.

Access & Transport

The park is located on the Heysel Plateau in Laeken, 6km northwest of the historical centre of Brussels. It is easily reached by metro (6) or tram (7), stopping at Heysel station, less than 5mins walk away.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this attraction with the Atomium and Laeken Park.

Meta review

The miniature park mostly gets positive reviews for is very realistic and details oriented models, which is a contributing factor towards the slightly high price that bothers a few visitors. There are consistent comments that children particularly enjoy the place and the information is delivered suitably for them.

Environmental & Social

No environmental data but the carbon footprint is low. Socially neutral

Conclusion

Mini-Europe is a well-executed concept and is deservedly popular, well helped by its proximity to the Atomium. It does not feel like a Brussels-specific attraction until one remembers the EU-focused content and the role of the city in the union.

Key positive

Family-friendly activity

Great backdrop with the Atomium

Key negative

Slightly expensive

Suitability

Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility and suitable for all ages
