Charming National Street Room in the Heart of Antwerp

Come ride The View, a Ferris wheel located in the center of Antwerp. This ride offers a breathtaking view of the city as you go up. From the cabins, you can see well-known landmarks such as the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) and Het Steen. At the top, you’ll get a broad view of Antwerp and its mix of historic buildings and modern areas. Bring your camera and enjoy seeing the city from above.

At Technopolis, you learn by doing. Try activities like VR paragliding, cycling with square wheels, and interacting with a robot. Explore the ON/OFF exhibition for VR, stop-motion, and AR, the temporary AI zone, and Biotopia’s nature-and-human themes. Kids aged 4+ can visit the Doolhoofd zone with themes based on Pluto, “protjes,” and light. Enjoy live entertainment with Rob-e the robot and electricity demos. On weekends and school holidays, catch the science show with fire and smoke effects. During the 2025–2026 school year, you can also follow the Ketnet Tour and earn a Ketnet science diploma.

Visit ZOO Antwerpen in the city center of Antwerp. The zoo offers a wide range of animals, a collection of plants, and several historical buildings. In the Ape Valley, see gorillas and a young chimpanzee named Zabari. Near the Egyptian Temple, observe the male elephants together. Walk through the Buffalo Savannah to find many birds. On the open savannah, you can see giraffes, zebras, and white rhinos. Lions have their own area, and a playground is located nearby for children.

Plumb the depths of some artistic geniuses at Antwerp's Museum De Reede, including both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Focusing on the works of three artworld heavyweights: Francisco Goya, Félicien Rops, and Edvard Munch, this hidden gem is Belgium's first museum dedicated to graphic art. Only opened in 2017, it rates highly among art lovers.
