What makes it 66% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free, prams fit most galleries and changing tables are on each floor, yet terrace is stair-only and no dedicated nursing room exists, so usefulness is fair but not ideal.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Short visit suits baby's schedule and covers main exhibits without rushing.
Explore ground-floor galleries:
Browse medieval armor and modern tanks with the stroller on smooth floors.
Tip: Stay on ground-level halls to wheeled pram; ask reception to store pram before mezzanine visits.
Relax at Sky Café:
Grab snacks and drinks in the Aviation Hall café with pram access.
Tip: Visit between 10–11 AM or 3–4 PM to avoid café peak times with baby.
Use baby facilities:
Find benches in galleries and changing tables in ground-floor toilets.
Tip: Plan breaks near toilets on each floor for quick diaper changes.
Visit Panoramic Terrace:
Take in views of Brussels using a baby carrier up narrow lifts or stairs.
Tip: Leave pram at reception and bring a secure carrier for the terrace.

A very rich place with military uniforms and equipment.

The hall containing world war 1 is presented relatively well but the best halls are of the suits of armour and world war 2, the lighting and method of display are moder...

It is highly recommended, even for those who may not be particularly knowledgeable about weaponry. I found myself thoroughly engaged for two and a half hours. While admission was once free many years ago, I still enjoyed the experience just as much as the last time I visited. It is only a slight disappointment that the rooftop's 360-degree view, which was previously superior, has been somewhat dim...

I think this museum is good even for those who don’t think they will like to see a military museum. For one the roof is now reopened and the views from the top are vast. The museum itself is huge large hangers with glass roofs housing everything from Tanks to airplanes. A very well documented history of machinery used in conflict

Quick Takeaways 🏛️ Impressive, monumental building — but showing signs of disrepair and graffiti 🏅 Wide range of exhibits, from medals to tanks 👕 Strong focus on Belgium’s pre–WWI history and empire ✈️ Large aircraft collection — dusty, underfunded, but still impressive 🚛 Good military vehicle display, though many outdoors are weather-worn 🚧 Some sections closed off, which was disappointing ⏱...

This is the most impressive Military Museum I have seen in Europe ! The collection is fantastic and has unique pieces. It is like Disney for any person that likes Military History. There are so many items that is difficult to pick a favorite one. This is fully recommended for everyone.
Indoor galleries offer shelter from Brussels' rain and cold season.
