Fantastic
Experience!
Came
here
7/5/23
10:00-14:50
with
the
€21
ticket
for
students
(no
entrance
to
the
Wellington
Museum
and
the
farm
where
the
general
slept
before
the
Battle)
€3,5
365a
Bus
from
Bruxelles
Porte
de
Hal.
At
the
ticket
office
you
are
provided
with
a
map
of
the
area,
carrage
ride
timetable
and
the
daily
schedule
for
the
different
activities
they
offer
(cannon
shooting,
first
aid
in
a
battlefield,
platoon...).
The
whole
visit
was
great,
the
audioguide
(that
you
download
on
your
cellphone,
good
thing
I
carry
headphones)
was
detailed
and
interesting.
The
displays
working,
and
full
of
images
and
fun
facts.
The
timelines
on
the
wall
help
you
understand
the
sequence
of
events
on
both
sides.
Only
things
I
feel
were
missing
were
more
details
about
all
the
Marshalls
that
served
under
Napoleon
(which
I
was
looking
forward
after
having
seen
a
docuseries
on
YouTube),
especially
my
sister's
favourite
Oudinout
aka
"colinder
man".
After
2:25h,
at
12:30
I
got
on
the
10min
horse
carriage
ride
to
the
Hougoumont
Farm.
There
one
of
the
workers
gave
a
tour
of
the
area,
unfortunately
only
in
French,
so
I
couldn't
participate.
Although
a
lot
of
action
happened
around
this
Farm
and
the
importance
it
had
in
defeating
Napoleon,
there
wasn't
that
much
information
(on
the
app),
so
you
can
easily
visit
it
in
40min.
Walk
back
to
the
Panorama
of
the
Battle
of
Waterloo.
Very
impressive!
It
goes
in
great
detail
of
what
was
happening
in
that
day,
and
a
MUST
is
using
the
guide
to
understand
what
all
the
details
are
representing.
Don't
glance
at
it
quickly,
but
take
your
time
to
study
it
(it
took
me
40min).
Loved
it
:-)
Then
up
I
went
to
the
Lion
Mound
which
is
more
for
the
view
you
see,
but
on
a
rainy
day,
you
had
slippery
stairs
and
not
too
much
to
see
except
dark
clouds
and
green
fields.
Afterwards
I
went
to
see
the
field
activities,
where
I
got
to
try
the
different
(more
for
kids
size)
uniforms
and
hold
an
original
bayonette
(heavy!).
And
that
was
my
experience,
really
recommended
:-)
