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 initially supposed to be an exhibition but then they made it a permanent expo. They have mini versions of major tourist attractions in famous cities like Paris, Moscow, Berlin, etc. The concept is nice and I thought it was worth the visit.
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.
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. Wikipedia
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.
Good place, also keeps the kids excited..looking at thumbnails now , difficult to say if these are pics from real building or from mini world..
Near metro (Heysel) and Atomium. Fun afternoon with lot of miniature versions of European cities. Photographer at the front was little rude when we took picture with the mascot
You can get an idea of major European architecture right in here. All of them are just in one place. They look so real and very picturesque. Among all that I had seen in Europe, it was the most interesting and unique one. Go there and see for yourself.
