Really really great! As a Brussels resident I would most definitely recommend visiting this as an afternoon or AM activity. Prices are reasonable, personnel is friendly and the domain is quite big. Would recommend taking +- 3 hours for visiting. Best part is disputably the indoor-section with vegetation from all around the world!

This garden is worth the trek from the city. It's easy to get to on the route 250/251 buses. It houses as fine collection of rare plants and is a great way to spend a summer afternoon. Highly recommended

Beautiful botanic garden with a huge greenhouse and a medieval castle. The scenery here is lovely and the gardens are so peaceful. We used our Brussels City Card to get in and spent enjoy an hour here but you could easily spend much longer. A huge variety of plants and flowers in the greenhouse and different areas for different climates. Lovely view from the top of the castle also. Recommend a visit if in Brussels. Just a note if you're a tourist who bought the STIB transport card, it doesn't work on the bus to the garden. You pay €2.50 for the bus (it'll charge €7.50 but will be reverted to €2.50).

Usually, I don't give five stars right away. But this botanical garden deserves it! I am a plant enthusiast and this is the most well managed botanical garden I have visited. I would say, the greenhouse is their crown jewel! There are so many variety of plants from tropics, sub tropics, cloud forest, savannah and desert! Don't plan for a quick trip, I would recommend an entire day trip.

This was the best choice to see in Brussels. We had one day for Brussels and spent the entire day here. It's very organized, well maintained and they have lots of species, all of them having a little plate with their names. Information boards have English texts and are very informative. Buffet could be improved... Giving very sour lemonade and 2 small glasses of drinks costed 8.5 euros 😵

Very large botanical garden, more like a huge park with the added bonus of featuring a large array of plants and of course the many gardens. The gardens are divided into themes such as food plants, tropical (greenhouse), medicinal, plants used in dyes or parfums and so on. Apart from its vastness and large array of plants, a great feature is the signs explaining the uses or history of them. Besides all this, there's also a central castle with a history spanning many hundreds of years. The place is constantly developing and improving, putting in the effort to make this a must visit for anyone interested.

This is - according to me - the best parc of Bruxelles. Take your time because the orc is a huge location with a lot of things to visit and a wonderful botanic garden. The parc is close to the city center of Bruxelles (about 20 minutes by car). There are car parking just in front of the parc. You can buy you ticket online (12 euro per adult). Inside the parc you also find a beautiful cafeteria. The full parc in also a real funny experience: for instance you can drive a raft on jump in a water path.

I love the place, always have. An amazing diversity, always informative, a great place for learning and being amazed. I removed one star as the place isn't really bike-friendly. The bike park is located in front near a main road, the racks aren't the best and it's exposed to rain. Not super safe. They missed the opportunity to put it against the souvenir shop wall, covered from the rain.

Awesome place! You could spend days wandering trough all these amazing plants. In addition, this places makes you care more about the conservation of forests and natural habitats worldwide! Keep up the great job, despite the difficult COVID-19 times.

This was a beautiful botanical garden, there's cafes dotted in various places for a respite between walks. Food was delicious and helpful staff at the restaurant which was a beautiful old building in itself. I didn't have time to walk around the whole place but from the few hours I spent there, I wish I had factored in an earlier start. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful site, an interesting botanical garden, a cute little castle plus a big park with ponds. The small parking across the entrance can be very muddy, luckily there is more streetparking down the road. Too bad that there is an entrance fee for the whole site, the outdoor lawns should be accessible for free!

Very engrossing experience. The botanical gardens are in a huge temperature/humidity controlled environment and cover the vegetation from all geographical locations like the tropical forests, savannah, semi tropics, Mediterranean, desert etc. The grounds are huge and are a pleasure to walk. Went in the last week of December.

Belgium’s National Botanical Garden is a hidden gem tucked away in a leafy landscape park at roughly 10 km North from Brussels. Highly recommend year-through.

AMAZING! One of the most beautiful parks /garden in Belgium , you need at least 2-3 hours to visit it so I don’t suggest to take the late entrances. The exterior space is already a great experience and you also have the greenhouses.

Wonderful place to have nice Sunday walk. The collection of tropical plants is impressive and organised in a very beautiful way. Also there is a castle which is open for public and have a rooftop view.

A full and fabulous day. Nice adventure playgrounds for kids, a generous selection at the orangerie where you can have a snack or lunch on the terrace overlooking a small lake, the fantastic castle and of course the lush greenhouse offer so much that you can barely get to see the entire area.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and very varied botanical garden. Fun activities for children (Amaryllis, 50 boxes of green). (Original) Prachtige en zeer gevarieerde plantentuin. Leuke doe activiteiten voor kinderen (Amaryllis, 50 kistjes groen).

92ha of beautiful 🌺🌻🌹🌷🌸🌵and🌴🌲🌳 absolutely worth to see. It's good to take a walk and take a rest close to the nature just next to the city or make a lovely photosesion. You can send here easily whole day so to prepare some drinks and sandwiches it's a really good idea 😉

One of the most beautiful bot. Gardens i've ever visited, plants are well labeled and there always something happening there: new attractions, new areas - an entirely redesigned island in one of the lakes for example - and a beautiful glasshouse. If you are interested in plants/botanics, it is a must-see!

A beautiful botanical Garden at the periphery of Brussels, well manicured lawns, can be visited for indoor greenhouses even if the outside weather is not great. Vast collection of plants from all continents of the planet. Highlight of the garden is the annual bloom of the titan-arum or corpse flower. Was lucky to see it in full bloom. If you like to walk there is a trail of 3km to view the garden completely else you can take the mini train.

One of the most beautiful botanical gardens we have ever seen! It is enormous with a lot of green spaces all around the greenhouses and a beautiful castle. The greenhouses are full of many species of plants, there is a lot to see and you can easily spend half a day in this place. We've seen this park in spring and we'll come back to see it in autumn.

I visited for the light show just before Xmas. Outside you have some fires and food trucks to eat. Inside a nice walk across the gardens on a well-marked trail. There is music that goes with the lights and a bar inside that only serves drinks. Great place for families ith kids.

The Plantentuin Meise, or the Meise Botanic Garden, is a large botanical garden located in Meise, just outside of Brussels, Belgium. It covers an area of over 92 hectares and features an extensive collection of plants from around the world. The garden is divided into several different areas, including a large glasshouse complex, an arboretum, and themed gardens. Visitors can explore various types of vegetation, such as medicinal plants, herbs, and succulents. There are also collections of orchids, palms, and tropical plants. One of the highlights of the Meise Botanic Garden is its impressive tree collection. There are over 1000 different species of trees in the arboretum, including some that are over 200 years old. In addition to the plant collections, the garden also offers a range of activities and events throughout the year, such as workshops, guided tours, and educational programs for children. There are also several cafes and restaurants on site. The Plantentuin Meise is a great destination for nature lovers, botany enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a peaceful and educational day out. The garden's diverse collection of plants, impressive tree collection, and range of activities make it a popular attraction in Belgium. Thank you very much for giving your precious time for reading 😊.

Absolutley beautiful and well organised. Maybe some animals in the greenhouse whould be cool, but really nothing else to say. Tickets are reasonable prices and there is a reduced student fee. Approved

(Translated by Google) In these uncertain times, it was nice to be able to walk around without being in the crowd. It's clean and well organized. Toilets available and clean. 9 euros entry and reservation essential. (Original) En ces temps incertains, il était bien agréable de pouvoir s’y balader sans être dans la foule. C’est propre et bien organisé. Toilettes disponibles et propres. 9 euros d’entrée et réservation indispensable.

Amazing place, huge and full of nature 💚 definitely a place worth to visit. You need time and comfy clothes for it ☺️ great views and peaceful placed around

It's a must see place in Brussels. Beautiful greenhouse with a big garden. Greenhouse hosts 6-7 different climate environment such as tropical, mediteranian, desert etc. You will enjoy exploring this place. We were there on a December Saturday late afternoon. It was conpletely empty. I can imagine the crowd in more seasonal times.

Incredible place, beautiful and many, many different species. I only walked like 1/4 of it as it was a lot bigger than expected. The coffee place was very nice as well. I believe that it would be more crowded during weekends or holidays. But in any case definitely not to miss!

Very beautiful greenhouses all year long! Just keep in mind: -Parking can be tricky -Exterior plants and trees change with seasons, some flowers cannot be seen 365 days a year! -Eating at l'Orangerie is not cheap but quality follows the price I personally wish I had gone in the spring instead of summer, but that's my experience

The garden is massive like the greenhouse, absolutely stunning.Have some good shoes! The only down point are the service located on sight they're a bit on the pricey side but the quality is decent.

If you like nature, its surely worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Lots of spaces to walk around are not bad (Original) Non e male tanti spazzi per caminare

(Translated by Google) Decrepit; high time for innovation and a different approach. (Original) Afgeleefd; hoog tijd voor vernieuwing en andere aanpak.

Just great a place. You need a lot of time to visit the entire park. Recommend to start as early as possible!

What a great place! Worth a visit in every time of the year. The greenhouse has several biotope types, tropical rainforest, desert, Mediterranean, and more. Entry fee 9 euro.

Definitely worth seeing. Very nicely crafted landscapes. Great walk. Beautiful botanical garden. Don't forget to put your name on the mailing list to get notified when the giant flower blooms. The real drawback can be the parking space. Tip - there are two entrances to the garden. The one close to the town center has better parking possibilities.

An excellent botanical garden, with a fantastic greenhouse hosting an array of different ‘environments’. The grounds are spacious and allow for pleasant strolls to get away from the crowds. Recommended.

I absolutely LOVED it. Tickets online for adults are €9 and €10 if you buy them there. This place is huge and absolutely beautiful. My favorite part was the green house complex. There are plants from the desert, the savannah, the tropical rainforest and more. And some parts had very high humidity and 28°C, which made me feel like I was in my land of origin :') but before you enter, you can hang your coats, so that's nice! The toilets are very clean an we had a drink at a café, which was very nice. We went for 3 hours and only saw 30% (I think), so we are definitely going back. It is very accessible too, for strollers or wheelchair users. You can even take a little car (to pull) at the entrance if you have children . There are a lot of benches to sit back and relax. I also loved the gift shop. Very nice things, I wanted to buy it all haha

Beautiful place with a huge variety of trees and green vegetation + cactuses and other species! Recomended!

Beautiful large botanical garden with huge greenhouse (and a castle) + a great coffee place to recharge after a long walk!!!

Little gem next to A12 highway. Great place for a relaxing weekend stroll, although the highway side can be a bit noisy. The botanic garden has no spectacular attractions, but has plenty of different interesting collections that come to life in different parts of the year: greenhouse, magnolias, rose garden, herbarium's, beehives, conifer corner at the back and the vegetable garden in the front.

So many interesting things about nature, a large selection of plants: so beautiful! Takes few hours to visit all, nice walk under the trees and a fantastic view of a castle in the middle of water.

If you are into plants or just want to spend a few hours in nature. This is a beautiful place to come. Outside botanical gardes and greenhouses with specific climates and the plats that thrive in them. You need at least 3 hours.

Very comprehensive timeline guiding the visitors through the beautiful history of our wonderful planet. ❤ Respect! Highly commendable. A must visit. I hope that the facilities could get some painting though. The greenhouse needs some investments to shine

(Translated by Google) A huge plant collection! (Original) Een enorme plantencollectie!

Very spacious place, lots of places to visit but also a lot of walking. Very great assortment of plants and flowers and a lot of restroom facilities. Will definitely go again!

Lovely, even in "winter".

(Translated by Google) Nice walk. Beautiful in the greenhouses (Original) Fijn wandelen. Prachtig in de serres

(Translated by Google) Payed a visit in mid-February. Outside everything was covered with a layer of snow. So we missed the real splendor. Inside there was a very nice tour. About 45 minutes spent on it. The conservatory is divided into different sections which are very cleanly maintained Worth to visit. Also clean toilet provided in the conservatory. (Original) Half februari een bezoekje gebracht. Buiten was alles bedolven onder een laagje sneeuw. De echte pracht hebben we dus gemist. Binnen was er een zeer mooie rondleiding voorzien. Ongeveer 3 kwartier aan besteed. De serre is opgedeeld in verschillende secties welke zeer proper onderhouden zijn De moeite waard om te bezoeken. Ook proper toilet voorzien in de serre.

(Translated by Google) Nice conservatory with many plants. Not ideal to visit in February because few plants were in bloom, but still fun! (Original) Leuke serre met veel planten. Niet ideaal om in februari te bezoeken doordat weinig planten in bloei stonden, maar nog steeds leuk!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Manifique

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and big Is different every season Just relax and enjoy nature (Original) Heel mooi en groot Is elk seizoen anders Gewoon ontspannen en genieten van de natuur

(Original) Fijne plek om te wandelen en te genieten van de natuur, zelfs in de "kale" winterperiode. Gisteren schoten plots 4 reeën aan ons voorbij tot groot jolijt van de kindjes.

(Translated by Google) Too bad for the noise from the otherwise beautiful highway (Original) Dommage pour le bruit de l'autoroute sinon magnifique

(Translated by Google) Normally you would just buy tickets at the box office. Unfortunately this is not possible due to corona, I understand that completely and rightly so. But to leave no more room to change your hours to a different time where there is still room, I find it a great pity ... We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance and something outside of our influence intervened. Now we just lost our money and the info-email address simply says to buy new tickets even though ours have not expired or been used. As if it is nothing. (Original) Normaal zou je gewoon tickets kopen aan de kassa. Dit is door corona helaas niet mogelijk, dat begrijp ik helemaal en terecht. Maar om dan geen ruimte meer te laten om uw uren te veranderen naar een ander tijdstip waar nog plaats is vind ik enorm jammer... We hebben 2 weken op voorhand gereserveerd en er is buiten onze invloed iets tussen gekomen. Nu zijn we ons geld gewoon kwijt en wordt door het info-emailadres wordt gewoon gezegd om nieuwe tickets te kopen ondanks dat onze niet vervallen of gebruikt zijn. Alsof het niets is.

Sans doute ce sera bien quand travaux finis, mais d'ici là il y a beaucoup de chemins interdits, de lieux qu'on ne visite pas ... Dommage. Les serrés sont belles.

Lovely botanic garden with a nice castle. Recommended. Due to covid you need to reserve a timeslot.

What a nice place! These pics were took in the autumn, fully recommend a visit!

Great place to walk for an afternoon. The ‘serres’ are beautiful and well organized around themes. The castle fits nicely in the landscape but the interior is not so spectacular. One negative point, the noise from the nearby motorway can be disturbing

Beautiful place. Unfortunately not all of it was in bloom since our timing wasn't great but it was still breathtaking. I especially liked the plants palace and highly recommend visiting!

Beautiful botanical garden. Largest in Belgium. Unique collection of trees and plants.

As a child I went nearly every weekend at this garden. You can really see what happens with nature during the seasons. The colours, the water, the animals, the castle, the old and new plants,... It still amazes me today! The garden is so big that I never walked the whole tour in one day. But I end it every time with a hot chocolate and a waffle at the local brasserie. This is truly paradise, so if you come, and I hope you do, be gentle to everything that surrounds you.

Very nice gardens. There are a few places that are close due to covid but the park around is magnificent. There is something to see in every season. It is very low price

A great place for plant and nature lovers. A getaway that brings you close to the nature. Small ponds with ducks along with numerous species of plants give you feeling of being more close to the nature. A perfect place for a calm and peaceful weekend. The restaurant here ORANGERY is nice for some drinks and food. Overall worth visiting once.

(Translated by Google) It is being built now, it will be super nice ... 😀😊😊 (Original) Сега се изгражда,ще е супер хубаво...😀😊😊

It is a relaxing place with something interesting to see allyear around. Kids will not get bored and they always wait without nagging to ride the fantastic hand-pull ferry across the castle lake. The ticket is reasonable for a family with small children. During covid Era there is no more train going around the park.
