Jeanneke Pis (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Jeanneke Pis?
What makes it 54% Kids-Friendly: Kids may laugh at the peeing girl and hear a quick legend, but the cramped cobbled lane has no toilets, play area, or space for running, so interest fades fast and supervision stays tight.

- Free and quick: No entry fee and kids love the short stop.
- Hidden gem: The narrow alley adds a sense of adventure.
Challenges:
- Crowded alley: Limited space can feel squashed at peak times.
- No facilities: No restrooms or stroller access right at the statue.
What is Jeanneke Pis?

Reviews of Jeanneke Pis
Rob Pember
The Jeanneke Pis is a quirky, modern female counterpart to the famous Manneken Pis! Tucked away but worth finding, this smiling little girl, protected behind bars, adds a dose of cheeky humor and diversity to Brussels' city center. A fun, lighthearted photo stop.

Delirium Village is a great place to hang out, grab a bit to eat, a beer or 10 and see Jeanneke Pis.
Olga Ocheretyana
I totally recommend go and see this but not because of the statue itself but because of the cool alleyway where it’s located! Also, it has less tourists around than the pissing boy so it would give you a vibe of “hidden gem”. I liked it more than the pissing boy because of the overall vibe of the surroundings!

This small statue in Brussels shows a little girl peeing—just like the famous Manneken Pis, but it's the girl version. It’s hidden in a quiet alley near Delirium Café, so you have to look carefully to find it. People like to take photos, and sometimes she wears costumes for special events. It’s a funny and quick stop while walking around the city. Not very big, but it’s part of Brussels’ playful s...

A quirky little stop while exploring Brussels! Hidden in a small alley, this statue is considered the “sister” of the famous Manneken Pis. Not a must-see on its own, but fun if you’re nearby. Worth a quick look and a photo — plus it always gets a few laughs.
