Mini-Europe stays in Brussels!!!
Europe in a few hours A unique experience!Mini-Europe is above all an invitation to travel . The chimes of Big Ben, the gondolas in front of the Doge s Palace, the Grand-Place in Brussels, the Acropolis ... an animated tour with visual and sound effects.
A fascinating presentation for everyone, not to be missed during your stay in the Capital of Europe!
Really worth visiting with or without kids. Interesting places to be seen and also you have a very different view from above. You can feel like Goliath on the same price.
Its a perfect half day excursion with kids. My 7 year old daughter enjoyed it fully. Apart from seeing all European places, it gives lots of valuable information about places. My daughter loved volcano eruption model. You can easily spend half day there. There is cafeteria out there just before exit so you can rest and eat something before go out.
You can reach there by Tram / Cab. There is planetarium just outside it and that is also very good.
The monuments exposed are chosen for the quality of their architecture or their European symbolism. Most of the monuments were made using moulds. The final copy used to be cast from epoxy resin, but nowadays polyester is used. Three of the monuments were made out of stone (e.g. the tower of Pisa, in marble). A computer-assisted milling procedure was used for two of the models. After painting, the monuments are installed on site, together with decorations and lighting.
Many of the monuments were financed by European countries or regions. The Brussels Grand Place model cost 350,000 to make.[citation needed] The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela required more than 24,000 hours of work.

Very cool tour of all of Europe and through different time periods. Very detailed models, including moving boats and people. Some of the people are even funny or represent historic events. They had English guide books for free that made it easy to identify cities we weren't familiar with.
an exceptional place for a grand tour in small scale. all monuments of Europe is there and you can see it in couple of hours.
The place may look small when you enter but you can easily spend 3 hours there. The restaurant could have been a bit better at the menu but the portion size is good. Also beware, the photo you take at the entry gate is then made into a Keychain and a picture print which costs you 13 Euros. Parking is paid not free with tickets
Recommended for a trip with the kids. The buildings have been recreated with great eye for detail. There are also funny figurines and scenes, so it's pretty entertaining.
This place is super fun. Most popular landmark in Brussels. You can find all the miniature of Wonders and monuments all over the Europe. Kids will enjoy this place. From the station you have to walk few mins to this place. Right next to atomium. So you can visit this place first then go to atomium for more time to spend in atomium. Restaurant and souviner shop available. We visited in April bit cold plan accordingly. Ticket price is 16.50euros.
It was a lovely walk through mini Europe. The buildings were very beautiful and there were also some corona proof buttons along the path with actions for the kids. They loved that there was something moving or something to hear in the different countries we passed. Our kids also very much liked the trains riding through the countries. There were also some small funny things added which made it a nice visit. At the start we got a guiding book with explanation about the buildings. Because of corona there was only one path you could follow and masks were obligatory.
