Lot of fun activities for kids to learn about water. All activities and explanations are in Dutch. Prepare for a 20-25 minute walk from Herentals train station if you go there by public transport.

Absolutely recommended to do with the kids. Very ineractive experience. Very educational. In many cases also for the (grand)parents. The outdoor activities are being renovated. Regrettably. We will definitely come back for this. Given the reasonable entrance fee, this is not a problem. Super friendly welcome too. You won't see that any time soon. Clean and nicely furnished sanitary facilities. Top.

You have to walk 10 minutes from the parking going to Hidrodoe, so be sure to wear flat shoes! This place is located in the middle of the "forest" next to nature! It's a nice place for kids to learn about water and how to conserve water. You can spend 3 to 5 hours here. I only gave 3 stars because of the restaurant, they serve drinks lots of choices, but the food, you can only get snacks like hotdogs, pizza baguette, pancakes toast, nothing fancy.

Test drive with the new Mini Countryman

It would be better to sell healthy sandwiches in the cafeteria. We now thought it was too limited. Children hardly ate anything because they didn't like anything or pizza was vegetarian?? Fruit would be good too. Apple for a euro, banana, etc. Instead of fruit drink. Cup of water is great. The film was visually nice, but the kids didn't understand it, other kids also said they didn't understand it. Best for the film to explain what drip and drop will do or explain their route in short what needs to be covered before we can drink drinkable water. Rest was very good!

Would recommend this place especially for young children starting to explore and experiment. Very informative too and... Tot water!

We visited this activity center with our two grandsons, aged 4 and 6, and although they were still too small for much Tuesday - especially to understand - they (and we) had a great time. We had a good time there all afternoon. Luckily it wasn't too busy, so we were able to do everything right. We were only really disappointed by the 3D film. We find it quite 'dark', even for us.

A great thing for children (and those young at heart). Partly outside, partly inside, but always nicely done. Lots of great experiments. Were there for probably 2.5 hours. Why only 4? For German visitors, the film (English abbund an) and the show are canceled. Show is more for children 4 to 8. Overall, it's great.

Nice even in bad weather and very friendly staff. Top!

If you live closeby and you don't feel like driving much may be a good option just to get the kids out of the house but there is nothing extraordinary about this place. Some points are kind of fun but in general I found the exhibit outdated.

You can spend an hour or two exploring here with children. Some of the devices did not work very well, but there are plenty of alternatives.

Great fun afternoon out. Make sure to bring sandals for kids to play with out side water area. Lots of fun experiments to do, probably get a little bit more from it if you understand the language. Friendly staff. 4d movie looked a little dated but kids still enjoyed it.

A fun family experience with some good, fun activities appropriate for all ages. There looked to be some good information about water alongside it (water cycle, cleaning, sanitation, climate change) but I can’t vouch for the quality as I’m not a Flemish speaker. Staff were very friendly. The 4D movie was fun for the kids and kept them entertained (part of the overall ticket price). The cafe served a good selection of snacks and drinks with some options for light lunch. Parking was about 700m away from the venue but the walk was flat and along the road/accessible paths. I think there was some limited disabled parking closer to the building but not 100% sure. The attractions themselves are over the ground floor. Overall, a good, fun and reasonably priced 2-3 hours’ entertainment (maybe more if you can speak the language) for the family.

Great for children of all ages

Very interesting place for all the ages with a lot of fun and science

Have kids? You know this is the place for them

(Translated by Google) Nice interaction with water through various 'experiments'. Top place to go with children. The staff were friendly and there were 2 nice 3D short films. (Original) Leuke interactie met water door verschillende 'proefjes'. Top plek om met kinderen te gaan. Het personeel was vriendelijk en er waren 2 leuke 3D kortfilms.

Really nice place , a shame that everything is only in dutch , no other language available

Very personable, great experiments, absolutely reasonable prices, both for entry and food, the detour is worth it, about 1 to 2 hours

A great place to take the kids. Friendly personal, and educational activities. Located in a nice forest where you can go for a stroll with the family.

Educational in- and outdoor experience to get to know all about water and how it is cleaned. Total fun for the kids as they get to do experiments with water (without getting too wet themselves).

(Translated by Google) More suitable for older children. (Original) Meer geschikt voor wat oudere kinderen.

(Translated by Google) Very nice 'interactive museum' for children. A lot can be played with water, both inside and outside. It is also educational. Especially on a warm day it is very nice for the children to play outside with water and play games. Highly recommended! (Original) Heel erg leuk 'interactief museum' voor kinderen. Er kan veel gespeeld worden met water, zowel binnen als buiten. Daarbij is het ook leerzaam. Zeker op een warme dag is het erg leuk voor de kinderen om buiten met water te spelen en spelletjes te doen. Zeker een aanrader!

Fun activities on water for kids. Number of smaller exhibits were being refurbished unfortunately. Kids will get wet!!! Bring backup clothes.

Good for half day visit

(Translated by Google) Nice environment where the children can fully discover EVERYTHING that has to do with water. Lots of DIY assignments both indoors and outdoors, 3D film, etc. The children can get wet so ideal in good weather. A visit takes about 2 hours with a film. There is a mini cafe and space to sit outside. At the reception you will find a small gift shop with all kinds of gadgets with the theme of water. 1 min point, parking is a 10-minute walk from the Hidrodoe building, so in rainy weather or with small children this is a bit more difficult to reach. For people with a wheelchair, there is parking or the possibility to drive up to the building. Well worth it all in all 😁 (Original) Leuke omgeving waar de kinderen volop op ontdekking kunnen gaan naar ALLES wat met water te maken heeft. Heel veel doe-opdrachten zowel binnen als buiten, 3D film enz.De kinderen kunnen best nat worden dus ideaal bij mooi weer. Een bezoekje duurt met film erbij ongeveer een 2-tal uurtjes. Er is een mini-café en ruimte om buiten te zitten. Aan de receptie vind je een kleine gift-shop met allerlei gadgets met het thema water. 1 min puntje, parking ligt op 10 min wandelen van het Hidrodoe-gebouw,dus bij regenweer of met kleine kindjes is dit wat moeilijker te bereiken. Voor mensen met rolstoel is er parking of mogelijkheid om tot aan het gebouw te rijden. Al bij al wel de moeite waard 😁

(Translated by Google) Nice experiments for young and old. Provide spare clothes or put them in swimming gear. Due to the Corona we had to wait outside in more than 30 degrees and no shade, not ideal. We got there a little earlier to do a walk in the area as stated on the website, but plan to get inside and gate locked. Inside everything completely corona proof and visitors leave or different places. Parking is a 10 minute walk. This is definitely recommended. (Original) Leuke proefjes voor jong en oud. Voorzie reservekledij of steek ze in zwemgerief. Door de Corona moesten we buiten wachten in meer dan 30 graden en geen schaduw, niet ideaal. We waren er wat vroeger om een wandeling te doen in de buurt zoals op de website staat, maar plan te verkrijgen binnen en hek op slot. Binnen alles volledig coronaproof en de bezoekers vertrekken of verschillende plaatsen. Parking is een 10 minuutjes te voet. Dit is zeker een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) Super nice museum where kids can experience all kinds of things - our youngest (10) had already been there with school and wanted to go again (Original) Super fijn museum waar kids vanalles kunnen ervaren - onze jongste (10) was er al met school geweest en wilde nog een keer gaan

(Translated by Google) Super fun to do, not the boring school explanation you would expect, but a lot of interaction, a lot of doing! And because the weather was nice outside, you could enjoy the water, what did you think !!! (Original) Super leuk om te doen, niet t saaie school uitlegje dat je zou verwachten, maar veel interactie, veel doen! En omdat het mooi weer was buiten kunnen genieten van het water, wat had je gedacht!!!

(Translated by Google) We (grandparents) have been with our granddaughter (5 years and half) and had to find out that she is still too small to understand everything. We will try back in a few years. (Original) Wij (grootouders) zijn met ons kleindochter (5 jaar en half) geweest en moesten ondervinden dat zij nog veel te klein is om alles te verstaan. Binnen een paar jaar zullen we terug proberen.

(Translated by Google) Super cool place where children can discover the applications and science of water in a playful way. There are all kinds of experiments to do, you can play with water both inside and outside. There are 3D movies that can be viewed in a mini cinema room and there is an outdoor playground. If you buy a nice cup (price only 1.60 EUR) you can collect free drinking water with it, also on subsequent visits. You can also picnic there yourself. Drinks must be consumed locally. Our daughter is very happy to come here for a kind of "scientific" indoor and outdoor water playground. (Original) Supertoffe plaats waar kinderen de toepassingen en wetenschap rond water kunnen ontdekken op een speelse manier. Er zijn allerlei proefjes te doen, er kan gespeeld worden met water zowel binnen als buiten. Er zijn 3D filmpjes die in een mini bioscoopzaal kunnen bekeken worden en er is een buitenspeeltuin. Als je een leuke beker aankoopt (prijs slechts 1,60 EUR) mag je er gratis drinkwater mee gaan afhalen, ook bij volgende bezoeken. Je mag er tevens zelf picknicken. Drank moet wel ter plaatse geconsumeerd worden. Onze dochter komt er zeer graag voor een soort van "wetenschappelijke" binnen- en buitenwaterspeeltuin.

(Translated by Google) Very nice to do with the children. Especially the water fountain and the 3D movie is fun. We have been during corona period. Not too busy, adhere well to all rules. Mouth mask is mandatory for 12+. There is plenty to do to keep you busy for half a day. (Original) Zeer leuk om eens te doen met de kinderen. Vooral de waterfontein en de 3D-film is leuk. Wij zijn tijdens corona-periode geweest. Niet te druk, houden zich goed aan alle regels. Mondmasker is verplicht voor 12+. Er is voldoende te doen om u een halve dag bezig te houden.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic educational playground for children with fun and perfectly maintained installations and experiments and a very nice water garden. Moreover, super friendly staff. (Original) Fantastische leerzame speelplek voor kinderen met leuke en perfect onderhouden installaties en experimenten en een zeer leuke watertuin. Bovendien supervriendelijk personeel.

(Translated by Google) This is an excellent excursion for a younger audience, but I would expand to a larger target group (15-16 years). So that there is also something to learn for the elderly. The first time I went to hidrodoe I definitely gave it a 5 star rating. But now that I am older this was a bit disappointing. (Original) Voor een jonger publiek is dit een uitstekende uitstap, maar ik zou wat uitbreiden tot een grotere doelgroep (15-16 jaar). Zodat er ook nog bij te leren valt voor ouderen. De eerste keer dat ik naar hidrodoe ging had ik zeker weten een 5 ster rating gegeven. Maar nu dat ik ouder ben viel dit wat tegen.

ok

Fun!!!

It closes already at 5 pm. they don't have time after school! (Original) Leuke en speelrijke plaats! Maar wat ik niet zo leuk vind zijn de openingstijden, waarom op een woensdag en een zaterdag gesloten? dan zijn de kinderen thuis! Het sluit al om 17 uur. na school hebben ze dan ook geen tijd meer!

(Translated by Google) Nice interactive museum on the theme of water. Many activities and experiences to do. There are also movies in 4D friendly. Only downside, but we are used to that in Flanders, not the slightest translation of explanations either in French or in English ... Sad ... (Original) Chouette musée interactif sur le thème de l'eau. Beaucoup d'activités et d'expériences à faire. Il y a également des films en 4D sympathique. Seul bémol, mais on est habitué à ça en Flandre, pas la moindre traduction des explications ni en français, ni en anglais... Triste...
