Unfortunately we could of course not enter the houses due to corona. Instead, they have an interactive exhibition about Bruegel throughout the park. Very nice set up when you also play the game. Initially designed for children, I think, but we (43, 38 and 17) had a great time with it! They enforce very well (yet friendly) on corona measures, even in the toilets!
Two years ago I was here too, we could go into the houses then. There were people who showed how it used to be and that was also great. The park is clean, the people are friendly and the entrance fee is fine too. It would be nice if there were also vegan options in the catering industry, but otherwise a well-kept park.
Was very beautiful and very quiet

In the past too and due to corona measures all houses were closed and there were no crafts etc.
So fairly quickly around but clean and well maintained park for walking
Corona safe everywhere

Was a super fun day. It is a very well-kept environment that allows a glimpse into the past. We spoke with great pleasure to the man in the farm who prepared the daily meal, the weaver, the pastor who came to read a letter to the farmer's wife (very good people keep their role), but the best was surely (certainly with our children aged 5 and 7, a visit to the school where you got a taste of teaching in 1914. My 5-year-old son immediately asked "I shouldn't come to school here, isn't it, Dad." Master Joseph played a starring role!

Bokrijk winter night review: you're basically being asked to pay admission for a carnival. That said, the fireworks were better than expected and the fire parade short but sweet. There is a fire show going on twice a day; but it's not worth waiting for - I've had the impression even I could make something more impressive than the flailings of an amateur pole dancer, a fake violist and someone waving a fire umbrella.

Great experience. We have been twice in this Open Air Museum. It has nice paths for walking, interesting buildings, and you see how people used to work. There are also many games and some activities for kids. We would have liked that the cafes had a bit more variety of food and more affordable prices.

Huge open-air museum near Hasselt. Brings historic buildings from all over Belgium together in a nice forest. In weekends and summer there are lots of demonstrations of old trades, games and foodpreparation. My favourite part is the old-Antwerp bar with Belgium beers. Best alcohol-related dark beer I've ever tasted.
Easy to spend a full day here.

Fun for the children (and the parents), quiet, friendly ... A pity that little explanation was given about the houses and the domain itself and that everything revolved almost exclusively around Brueghel.

Wonderful nature. We found it somewhat lacking in explanation though. The info panels do tell a story but not so much about the daily life. There were little visitors so maybe the museum relies more on information provided by the actors and guides but there weren't a lot of them available this early on the season. Still a cheap museum of course for what you get. The sixties exhibit was a cool extra.

About Domein Bokrijk vzw
Domein Bokrijk vzw: A Journey Through Time and Nature
Domein Bokrijk vzw is a non-profit organization that aims to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Flanders, Belgium. The organization manages a vast estate that includes an open-air museum, a nature reserve, and various recreational facilities. With its diverse offerings, Domein Bokrijk vzw attracts visitors of all ages and interests.
The Openluchtmuseum (Open-Air Museum)
One of the main attractions of Domein Bokrijk vzw is the Openluchtmuseum or open-air museum. This unique museum showcases the daily life and customs of rural Flanders from the 17th to the 20th century. Visitors can explore over 120 authentic buildings such as farmhouses, mills, churches, schools, and shops that have been relocated from different parts of Flanders to create a realistic village setting.
As visitors stroll through the cobblestone streets lined with old-fashioned shops and houses, they can witness demonstrations by skilled craftsmen such as blacksmiths, weavers, potters or bakers who showcase traditional techniques used in their respective trades. The museum also offers interactive exhibits where visitors can try their hand at activities like butter churning or rope making.
The Openluchtmuseum provides an immersive experience that transports visitors back in time to learn about Flemish history in an engaging way. It's not just for history buffs but also for families looking for an educational day out.
The Arboretum
Another gem within Domein Bokrijk vzw is its Arboretum which spans over 100 hectares showcasing more than 14 thousand species of trees and plants from around the world. The Arboretum was established in 1956 with a mission to conserve rare species while educating people about botany.
Visitors can take guided tours or explore on their own along well-marked trails through different habitats such as coniferous forests or wetlands where they can observe flora ranging from towering sequoias to delicate orchids up close.
In addition to being a beautiful place for nature lovers to visit throughout all seasons; spring brings blooming flowers while autumn brings vibrant foliage colors; it's also an important research center where scientists study plant ecology and conservation biology.
De Grootste Openluchtspeeltuin van Vlaanderen (The Largest Outdoor Playground in Flanders)
