    It is one of the most beautiful public parks I have visited in recent times. It's majestic and picturesque. The sprawling gardens speak of peace. It is an active park, i.e.to say that you can see joggers, cyclists, people exercising which fills the place with positive energy. Near the fountains, you will find the palace cafeteria. By the other far off ponds and streams, there are lovely picnic spots where you can enjoy the view and the quiet. Near the island(well sort off), the Ducks in the pond will fill your heart. There's also a castle that is open for visits on weekdays. Enclosures inside the park have places for events, concerts, comedy shows and more. Basketball courts, open gyms, fountains, picnic spots, a mini golf arena and of course vast expanses for each to find their own niche. This park is beautiful!!! Love to visit again and again.

    Beautiful sprawling park in Deurne, Antwerp. It’s Antwerp’s biggest park with several bodies of water, patches of forest, lush lawns and numerous bike lanes and walking paths. It provides a backdrop for virtually any form of leisure activity like playing football, tennis, badminton, jogging, walking your pet or just reading a book. In summer, theatre and music draws throngs of people to the park for the open air concerts. Beautiful place.

    Haben teil genommen an dem Event "De grote Schijn". Die Lichtershow ansich war okay. Die Wege waren gar nicht beleuchtet, wir waren froh, daß wir eine Taschenlampe mit hatten. Ohne wäre es nicht gegangen. Die Horeca arbeitet natürlich wieder mal nur mit Jetons. Nichts für uns, da geh ich lieber ins nächste Lokal für ein Glaserl Wein.

    Did the evening walk during the "De Grote Schijn" light show event, and it was beautiful. There's a lot of parking places in the neighborhood. We're not from around here so it was a bit confusing on where the start was, but we noticed the random signs and followed where the other people where going. For those with mobility issues, beware there are some steep bridges here. Event starts at 6pm and the last entry would be at around 10pm.

    Lovely venue, nice variation if you want to visit something else compared to a normal concert hall. Excellent sound quality and seats for an outdoor venue. Only reason I gave it 4* is because of the prices of food and drinks, which are unfortunately ridiculous in every bar, restaurant, concert hall and festival these days.

    Immense park two steps from Antwerpen centrum. Long a multiple walking paths between forest, swamp and lake style environment. Rather silent place fairly far from main roads. Really nice restaurant in the heart of the park. Strongly recommend. 👌🏻

  • 5/5 Sleepy K. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands down, the best park in Antwerp! I have never found a park in Antwerp that satisfies me on the following: beautiful lake scenery with swans and ducks, an open field with cows and sheep, a fragrant rose garden (a very aromatic hybrid tea rose named after Elaine Paige, anyone?), forests, with a number of walkable trails, mini golf, a restaurant (though the menu and food is rather uninspired) and some quirky art works here and there. I wish there were more parks like this one. So much to explore on a beautiful autumn day, for a kidult like me. The only negative: this park is surrounded by busy highways so the surrounding area is one of the most polluted in Antwerp. No matter where you go in the park you will always hear a humming noise from the highway vehicles.

    The perfect place to stroll for hours with friends or family. My girlfriend and were in for a brisk walk and gradually embarked on an almost magical journey riddled with fanciful elves and goblins. Nature at it's best at the centre of Deurne!

    Super nice park for walks or bike riding It is big enough not to be crowded at all The place has several types if trees and many water spots It has been a successful visit The minor negative part is that you can still hear the traffic on the highway nearby

  • 4/5 Pille K. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the largest parcs within Antwerp. Easy strolling on the many paths throughout the domain. Great place for kids to cycle and play (on the playgrounds) and very special is the fairytales house. Great breakfast, coffee or a cool beer in the parc’s castle restaurant. Very busy in weekends and sunny days. The crowd can avoided when going to the part between the parcs pond and the highway That’s the annoying thing-the highway next to the parc producing a constant noise.

  • 5/5 Chen L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice big park with variety of beauties: trees, and more wild trees-forests, lakes, nice architectures, flower gardens, maze, grass land, play ground, event center. Visiting different parts of the park at different time of the year brings different experience. Late March and Early April is best for seeing cherry blossoms at Sterckshof, May is best for seeing Rhododendron at the areas on the west part of the park near the Prieel Rivierenhof. June/July is best for seeing the roses at rose garden. The other plants in rose garden keep blooming in July/August include Marigolds, Cranesbills and Phloxes with all sorts of colors: red, orange, yellow, gold, purples and pink... Rich vision enjoyment. It is a park we keep going back time by time.

  • 5/5 Bregt C. 1 year ago on Google
    The biggest park close to Antwerp, Rivierenhof feels like a large old-school English type garden with huge beech trees and big open grass areas. Some beautiful water parts and small lakes marble the landscape. Great place to hang out with friends or play some football or other activities.

  • 5/5 isabelle r. 1 year ago on Google
    beautiful place with a lot of variety. Quite a few places inside the domain have suffered from the drought and / or are being reorganised but it looks lovely on a whole. Today many families were celebrating a babyshower or a kid's birthday. There was also the 'whisper' festival. a tiny thingy : it is a shame that there were empty bottles of alcohol on the lawn :(

  • 4/5 Ludo Van R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful, BIG park, with lots of things to do, like visit OLT where you can enjoy open air concerts, or go to a playground; there are several throughout the domain. Also a kids farm and a bar-restaurant, with a huge terrace, next to the pound with fountain. A bit outside the city center, but very accessible with public transport.

  • 5/5 Mirna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Domain Rivierenhof in Belgium is a beautiful park that offers a great outdoor experience for visitors. The park features a large lake, beautiful gardens, and numerous walking and cycling paths. There are also plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds for families. The park is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend visiting Domain Rivierenhof for a peaceful and enjoyable day out in nature.

    Catch your breath in a magically beautiful piece of nature At a stone's throw from the heart of the city of cakes, you will find the oldest provincial domain in the country. Relax in the green on 135 hectares with fun for everyone.

  • 5/5 KIZITO M. 11 months ago on Google
    The most serene outdoors in belgium outside Antwerp. Low crowds, ample open space, and the most lovely wild flowers. Interesting fauna, too, with ducks and geese swimming away in the calm waters interspersed within the park.

  • 4/5 Yves D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Sindiey S. 4 years ago on Google
    A park of nice size near Antwerp. Also has a big play ground, a rose garden and a petting zoo. Getting a drink is possible at the big pond.

  • 4/5 Christophe G. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the biggest green spaces in Antwerp. The domain was initially laid out in the 16th century as a country residence. In 1923 it was bought by the Province of Antwerp and opened for the public. As the name says there are a lot of "rivers" and ponds and water in general. Ideal for a walk. I suggest staying in the northern part because, the only downside is, there is a lot of noise in the southern part due to the proximity of the highway.
