The Antwerp ZOO is one of the oldest and best-known zoos in Europe. It will take you and your parents at least half a day to see and do it all! The penguins live in Vriesland with their own arctic enclosure, elepha
nts and giraffes are as tall as the Egyptian temple they stay in and hippopotamuses goof around in a pink villa. 950 different species and 5000 animals live at the zoo, that’s more than all the sweets you’ll ever eat all in one place!
On sunny weekends Antwerpers gather at Nachtegalenpark, enjoying nature at its best.
A theatre for little ones and young people, and for the parents of these boys and girls. Prejudice-free amazement, infinite emotion. Shows that ruffle your hair, crawl under your skin and tickle your heart. R
eal theatre. Het Paleis.
Het Geluk is a family-friendly bar where mothers with pushchairs are just as welcome as fathers with toddlers on pushbikes, grandparents with their grandchildren or teens with or without their girl- or
boyfriend. There are always newspapers and books on hand and they serve healthy sandwiches, home-made soup, and the one of the best hot chocolates in town. Pop in on Saturday during the exotic market or on Sunday when the traditional “Vogeltjesmarkt” market is in the square.
Do you want to rouse the imagination of your toddler, astonish your pre-schooler, and make the child in yourself rejoice? Be sure to check out De Spiegel when they play in your neighbourhood, and enjoy t
he sweetest and freshest music theatre in the entire world.
The actor becomes a puppet and the puppet comes to life. Theatre FroeFroe makes and performs artistically eccentric and inspiring puppet theatre productions. The subtle teamwork between the actors, puppets
and the imagination of the amazed audience creates a uniquely magical experience. Please note: it’s not only for children!
The Open Workshop is a free workshop held on Saturdays and Sundays in July and August.
