- Ramon412 contributionsNice and interesting parkMini Europe is slightly wrong as a name as it "only" includes all EU countries and former member states. The choice of certain country objects to represent them is sometimes a bit strange; for example as an Austrian I could easily think of 10 more iconic buildings than the one chosen. But this also makes it somewhat interesting. The labelling and descriptions could be a bit better, but it's nice thst they added little people, so it gives you a hint of relation for how big the buildings in real life are.Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 24, 2023
- Girish DHyderabad, India229 contributionsNot worth for adults, may be attraction for young childrenTheme park mostly attraction for children. Few models are nicely done however most of the models of Europe attractions are very basic. Not much exclusive as thought. Need to modernise and make more meaningful.Visited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 12, 2023
- Paul VCalgary, Canada301 contributionsGood visitWe had already visited Madurodam and Antwerp miniature, so being in Brussels, it would only be normal to come to this place. We took the metro and walked over to the entrance. Got a combo-ticket including the Atomium (see separate review). Information booklet was very useful. Site gave a good overview of the main attractions in Europe, most of which we had already visited and some of which are now on my to do list. You can argue ad nauseam why certain landmarks were included, but others not, but the reality is that this gives a good overview of what Europe had to offer. We spent about an hour and a half there. Interesting for adults, seniors, children and grandchildren. We all get something different out of it. Good layout, nice details on buildings and some interactive displays. Some very good picture opportunities. Cafeteria for food and drink requirements. Recommended.Visited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten July 12, 2023
- Taylor SNew Smyrna Beach, Florida5 contributionsFun Way to Kill Some TimeFirst off, this area is obviously a tourist trap. Be prepared for a lot of people. Aside from that we enjoyed our time here. It's a fun way to kill an hour or two while getting some clever photos. There are a lot of families and kids, but there is a route that everyone has to follow so things flow smoothly. There is so much to see and a lot of detail. There are a few interactive features such as rotating a crank to race miniature bicyclists or yelling into a microphone to hear back "Oh la". Most of these features were geared towards kids. There's a restaurant with bathrooms and a gift shop before you exit. Overall a fun way to kill some time but very geared towards families and kids. Fun tip, you can take some great shots of the Atomium from Mini Europe.Visited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 26, 2023
- Acts In FocusIasi, Romania31 contributionsNot accurateIt started out nice but... We felt like Romania's representation was very poor. Only one small building that isn't exactly an icon, not to mention that the national anthem didn't work, while all the others worked. Also, when exiting, we noticed that on the wall where all the languages were showcased the abbreviation used for Romania was "RON" while all the others had the country abbreviation. "RON"'s our currency, get your facts straight... Use "ROM" or "ROU"... I hope they are all some honest mistakes, but we felt like there's a bit of hidden xenophobia in this "Mini-Europe".Visited July 2023Written August 3, 2023
- Heledd Parry1 contributionGood attraction, not so good staff.Had a nice time- took us just over an hour to go around the place. We found it very interesting and plenty of models to see. However, 2 of the staff at the end of the attraction were very pushy in trying to sell us a picture that we did not want, running up to us with the picture and shouting. The young girl by the photo desk looked at us with pure disgust and rolled her eyes at us after we said multiple times that we did not want a photo. After a good time going around the place this put a bit of a downer on it.Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten August 18, 2023
- krcb197Fareham, United Kingdom324 contributionsNot just a model villageNot just a model village but an an education too. You can easily spend 2 hours wandering around the exhibit as easy model has little extra details and interactive elements. Only slight disappointment was the restaurant would probably have given that a miss in hindsight.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 25, 2023

This kind of an open air museum which depicts all the major highlights of eavh country of the European Union. You can learn a lot about these countries. There are interactive exhibits where you can push a button or something to enable something. Must admere the concept and the work they have put on. But it kind of get boring after passing through few countries. It takes around 2 hours to complete the tour. Really good for kids. But if you are not in to museum stuff then this is not for you. Ticket is 17 euros. If you are visiting the atomium as well, then there's a combined ticket for a lesser price.

We had a fun afternoon here with our 7 year old. The guy at the ticket booth was super helpful and saved us money explaining we wouldn’t fit the atomium in with only an hour and half left in the day. The Halloween extras and fun and made it extra Humorous!

The place is really awesome but spoiled because of a very terrible experience with the staff managing the photographs at the end of the tour. Very terrible as their card machine did not work for my girlfriend’s card but worked in the gift shop when we used it 3 minutes before. Staff made a very condescending and racist remarks saying that their machine do not accept our “(philippines) card”. Now I commented back saying that our race/where we’re from does not matter and that this Revolut card is actually a UK card where we live. Then he proceeded to say random phrases in tagalog that first of all did not make any sense and secondly inappropriate to diffuse the situation. Where we are from and random places in Philippines as jokes is not the way to treat your customers who just had a terrible experience with your staff. Imagine me saying random french/belgian phrases to people in Brussels and act as if we are close. I was gonna ask for the manager but i do not think they understood what I was trying to explain in the first place

We really enjoyed this, we stayed a lot longer than I thought as there was a lot to see. Lots of buttons to press (e.g. to play national anthems, or make the little model people move. It was nice that things worked as well, I think it is all to easy to let things break and not get fixed, but it was well maintained. There is a cafe ( mostly burgers and chips). The only feedback I would give to them is it would have been good if the guide book was in the order of the models, as you are constantly flicking back and forwards, but that’s a minor point.

Mini Europe is located near to the Atomium on the outskirts of Brussels. It is a large sit with very impressive models of famous buildings and sites from all around the EU. They still have the British models as they formed quite a big part of the site but, amusingly, the have customs signs saying you are leaving the EU when you enter the British area. There is even a model of Boris Johnson campaigning for Brexit. This is very much worth a visit and can easily be combined with the Atomium. There is a cafe which offers a limited selection of very basic food of not great quality.

Very disappointing, I was here 15 years ago and thought it was far better. It seems pretty run down, many of the exhibits were either broken or out of order. Most of the "buttons to press" either did nothing or did sometjing very lame.

I enjoyed my afternoon at Mini-Europe. It is reasonably priced when considering the discount when buying with another attraction, like the Atomium in our case. The food was decent and not too expensive for a tourist attraction like this. I enjoyed the models of the landmarks in Europe and would definitely recommend a visit and would return if in Brussels.

We used the combined Atomium, Mini Europe and Design Museum ticket for this attraction.
Mini Europe is fairly small but has lots to see with some interactive elements. It was a very hot day and there was very little shade. Enjoyed our visit but pleased we used the combined ticket as individual pricing seems overpriced.

I am trying to determine your annual closure. I will be visiting you area March 21 or 22 of 2020. Are you closed until March 13 or March 31? Please advise. I am not sure if I am reading your dates correctly in the European format. Thanks. We are taking a day trip from London to Belgium and really would like to visit while there.

Buona sera sapete dirmi se in 2 ore si riesce a visitare tutto il parco senza fare le corse? Grazie

si.
il percorso totale è di circa 1 km.
Due ore sono il tempo normale per vedere il parco, osservare i monumenti, vedere tutti i dettagli, osservare tutto ciò che si muove. A presto
Hi, I am planning on a trip to Italy, Switzerland and France for 7-days. Can someone guide me on which places to go and how many days to spend in each country.

It depends on the your choice as I would prefer like 3 days in France and 2 days in Italy and 2 days in Switzerland if I have to plan 7 days.

Can the park owners please update their website’s closure date range to write out the months and days of their annual closure so the dates are 100% clear? “7/01 to 8/03” can be interpreted as July 1st thru August 3rd in many places. Thanks!

we understand that you may read the dates as in the USA.
We will see if it is easy to mention the months with letters instead with figures.
With figures, it is easier to reproduce them in the 6 languages we use.
Thank you for your mention.

Of course should I say!
Mini-Europe is a visit of +- 2 hours. You will discover a mini world full of mini stories and discoveries about the famous monuments of Europe, about the countries and about the Europeans and the European Union.
It's fun and educative. I ma sure you will enjoy it.
You can combine Mini-Europe with the Atomium.
It is situated at 15 minutes from the center by metro.

Ou de garer svp
Mini-Europe
6 contributions
Bonjour, la solution la plus simple en 2018, c'est de se garer dans le parking T (6€/jour) entre Mini-Europe et l'Atomium. Entrée par avenue impératrice Charlotte.
En 2019, le parking T passera à 10 €. Si vous restez moins de 3 heures, le coût est moins élevé (7 € pour 3 h) dans les rues avoisinantes : impératrice Charlotte, boulevard du centenaire, etc.
La visite de Mini-Europe prend en moyenne de 1h30 à 2h00. Si vous ajoutez la visite de l'Atomium, vous prendrez plus que 3 heures.
A bientôt
