    Imagine a wonderful place for the kids to play, have good quality coffee - that says something in Belgium 😁, and a beautiful place to have a walk, picnic, all in nature yet urban enough. Amazing!

    Nice scenery. Some water activities only opens around 1:00pm. Toddlers and teens have separate outdoor playground. Mini zoo and mini train. Can be very crowded in the summer vacation specially during warmer days. I was impressed with the toilet, clean and with paper/handsoap. Restaurants available inside the park. Swimming is also allowed (except if there are red flags). Great for jogging, walking or just relaxing. Outdoor fitness area are free to use. Bicycles are not allowed inside the park. Ready your ID card at the entrance 'coz they will ask for it (adults or children 18+). Minimal entrance fee and cost of rides.

    Because of young people are fighting, You can just enter with a Belgian ID We where with people from one other country and could enter. Others that could enter jumped the security fence. Really bad experience.

    Small park with water body. Nothing specially and limited to surrounding people only. Can be overcrowded on weekend. Entry isn't free.

    Drove for an hour and a half to get here only to be told it was full and we weren’t allowed in. 3 hours in the car for nothing with no warning about this. Be warned

  • 4/5 Aaron T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice swimming place but sadly you have to pay for everything individually

  • 4/5 Fatih �. 1 year ago on Google
    I went on saturday in a very hot whether. It was very crowded. Must be go early to find a good place under trees. And to buy tickets online before going will save you from waiting a ticket line.

    Recreatiepark De Ster - the pond of the Star For Tourist, that would like to visit the Recreatienpark: Everything ist written in Dutch, also the website. Book your tickets via the website, queue up half an hour and realize in front of the checkin, that you only enter the park with an ID. So: you really have to bring your ID with you, otherwise there is no way to enter the park (we had to drive back to our hotel and get them). And you have to bring all of the IDs of your children, too. About swimming: it's crazy: there are about 4-5 baywatch-stations, monitoring the sectors. If one of them has to go to the toilet, the sector closes and all the swimmers have to leave the sector immediately! They put the red flag, blow the whistle and wave around in the air, till you leave. Bring money enough with you! Inside the park - in some of the attractions they are not yet able to let you pay by card. In the AQUAPARK JUMP you could use an app, but unfortunately only, if you are in the Belgian sections of the I-Store. For the huge water slide, that asks 2 Euro for one slide, you can pay with card. My wife says, that she liked it to be in this park, we stayed under a tree in the shadow and our children found something to do in the nice beach and with toys, we brought with us.
