Best Things to Do in Antwerp, with kids

Plantentuin is 62% Kids-Friendly

Children may like spotting frogs and doing a plant scavenger hunt, and entry is free, yet paths are narrow, no playground, and parents must enforce quiet behaviour, so visits stay short.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Museum Mayer van den Bergh is 61% Kids-Friendly

Under-18s enter free and the compact route is easy to supervise, yet no interactive trail, café or play zone means most children under 12 tire quickly; confirm any holiday workshops before going.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Garden Center Abies is 60% Kids-Friendly

The Zoersel branch has an indoor play corner and kids meals so children can burn energy, yet fragile plant displays and the play-free Deurne site mean close supervision and tempered fun.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Olympic Stadium - Beerschot is 57% Kids-Friendly

Children can attend matches in family blocks and enjoy stadium snacks, yet loud chanting, no play zones, and cashless kiosks that require cards reduce overall child comfort.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Oh'Green Zwijndrecht is 56% Kids-Friendly

Children are welcome and may find face-painting or cooking demos during special events, yet there is no permanent play zone and fragile merchandise demands close supervision, reducing convenience.

Recommended visit duration: 2–3 hours

Olympic swimming center Wezenberg is 43% Kids-Friendly

Kids may take paid lessons in the shallow instruction pool, yet there are no slides or play areas and lifeguards stop games, so most children tire of strict lap rules.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Horta Beveren is 43% Kids-Friendly

School-age children may enjoy looking at trampolines and seeds to start a planting project, but no play zone, workshops, or supervision means parents must keep them close the whole time.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Fakkelteater Rode Zaal is 43% Kids-Friendly

Only a handful of shows suit ages 10+, no themed kids programs, no booster seats, and standard restrooms mean families with younger children will find limited value and possible boredom.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Zaha Hadidplein is 34% Kids-Friendly

Children under 12 find no play structures, only hard paving beside busy port roads; tours lack hands-on displays, so boredom and safety supervision reduce the site’s appeal.

Basic-Fit is 6% Kids-Friendly

House rules ban anyone under 14, so children up to 12 cannot enter at all; there are no play zones or childcare, making the venue completely unsuitable for families with kids.
