Great open air museum which is not one museum but three. You have the villa of the Belgian prince painter Karel, the mediëval village of Walraversyde where you can visit reconstructed houses and the museum and a part of the Atlantikwall. Educational for all ages young and old, a view into the German Occupation and coastal defenses built, used and re-used over 2 world wars agains possible allied attacks. Not expensive, good fun, educational/culture/historic, in a well devised show of how soldiers lived et cetera. They have a copy of a real Enigma-Machine! :-) Recommend to everyone, enjoy!!!

Nice open air museum, this is one of the best preserved parts of the Atlantic Wall. Headphones would've been nice with the audio tour, it was hard to understand when you're in a group and more than one person is playing their audio
A wonderful area for a walk. The WWI/WWII heritage domain is very well maintained and definitely worth a visit. Make sure you take your time though and plan a few hours because there is a lot to see. Sometimes struggled a bit to find our way around. The app included a lot of interesting information but did not include a map, which would have been useful. The app included some great archival photos that are worth stoping to look at. Not sure how the experience would be with young children. So if there with the family maybe try to plan it for a day when they have activities planned (school holidays and some weekends).
Extensive collection. Worth to visit it. Go prepared with snacks and something do drink, you need to walk a lot.
A lovely look into the past.
A must see if you are in Oostende
Great museum. There's so much to see. Amazing audio/visual guide.
WW2 exhibition (atlantikwall) was much larger than I expected. Good information about the war with very realistic imagery. Definately a great experience for my 11 yo son who learned about the war in school. Walking through the tunnels, being reminded of what happened there was a sobering experience. Tour takes about 2,5hours to complete and well worth the entry fee.
