From ArdenNest
A 30-minute drive towards Ciney/Rochefort. Combine optionally with a visit to other attractions in the area.
Practical
July and August are busy — arrive early to grab a quiet spot near a playground. Outside the summer season it's wonderfully quiet and you can almost have the domain to yourselves. Don't forget swimwear if the pools are open (May to September, weather permitting). Bringing a packed lunch is a good idea — there's a cafeteria, but for a full day a picnic is more practical and cheaper. The domain is fully child-friendly: prams and scooters are no problem on most paths.
Suitable from a few months old up to about 12 years; older children can still enjoy a day there, but the focus is more on younger visitors.
