0.5 EUR for the toilet, while the entrance ticket costs 16€??? It's like they want the people to piss on the flowers. I would understand paid toilets if the garden entry was free. Otherwise, the garden is quite beautiful, but there could also be labels with names of the flowers in each flowerbed.

Just outside Brussels, in the small village of Dilbeek, you will find this nice and small castle. Every year, in April and May, it hosts the Floralia exhibition, a showcase of tulips and various flowers. You can take a walk in the garden, eat at the restaurant or drink an healthy juice. I recommend to go later in April/beginning of May, when flowers have fully blossomed to enjoy the colors of the garden. The entry is a bit pricey, 14 euros pp. Recommended to couples and families.

We enjoyed "winterlight"... Beautiful light show combined with a nice walk through the garden of the castle

The castle is 15 minutes from the center of Brussels by car. Surrounded by water and a beautiful bridge, this castle looks interesting. What is a real highlight is the huge number of flowers that surround it. a nicely arranged environment with paths for walking, greenhouses for flowers, rows of trees, and a restaurant make this place excellent for a trip. The ticket for adults is 16 euros, and for children 12 years old it is 5 euros.

I visited Groot Bijgaarden castle in September. There was a pumpkin decoration festival going on. It was lovely to see decorated pumpkin. It was nice to walk around in the castle.

We were there during Floralia Brussels end of April. And I was impressed by park, flowers, greenhouse, how everything was very well kept. Definitely will come back next year!

We had high expectations, based in their marketing campaign. However the reality was a little disappointing. There is a big garden, flowers are covering few spaces of it. Nothing ver special. Not to be compared with other garden concepts

It is a beautiful place to see. You will feel very good when you see the old castle and the beautiful flowers. There were two points for me to think about: one is that I wish there were signs or sheets next to the flowers to introduce their breed to the visitors. The second point is that toilets only accept cash and if someone only has a bank card, they cannot use them. If you want to park in the parking lot in front of the entrance, the cost is 5 euros.

fine place to spend a couple of hours walking in the park

We (workcamp Parquet) had the pleasure of restoring the beautiful wooden flooring within the main reception of the castle using only old methods and hand tools only. Xavier and Nicole are an absolute pleasure and it was an honour to bring this beautiful piece of art back to its original beauty. I look forward to visiting the castle with my family in years to come and admiring this beautiful castle stooped in wonderful history with the most wonderful landlords and heirs.

Beautiful place, well worth a visit just to chill out and spend an afternoon. Beautiful flowers in spring.

Nice tulips and other flowers, but horrible garden sculptures and low-end cafeteria. The building is being renovated and currently (April 2022) not accessible

It's a nice spot for a weekend trip. Old castle with lots of greenery and flowers. More beautiful in the midst of April.

Nice place with lots of flowers, a nice park, a castle and well thought through views. One can see the occasional wedding couples and exhibitions in castle. Well maintained.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well-kept castle and domain. It is very relaxing and pleasant to walk in this small but beautiful nature area. The annual Floralia event in the spring is definitely recommended for people who want to see beautiful flowers. Although the entry price of Floralia event is on the high side for what it is. (Original) Prachtig en goed onderhouden kasteel en domein. Het is zeer rustgevend en aangenaam om in dit klein maar mooi natuurgebied te wandelen. Het jaarlijkse Floralia evenement in het voorjaar is zeker een aanrader voor mensen die mooie bloemen willen zien. Hoewel het inkomprijs van Floralia evenement wel aan de hoge kant ligt voor wat het is.

This is a gorgeous place just 30 min from Brussels. You can take a train ticket to go and return for 5 EUR. It's a huge park area with a castle and lots of different flower arrangements. It's open in April and May when the flowers are at their best. Pick a sunny day to go, you will like it more.

Many beautiful Pumpkin Dinosaur s with much informations,about pumpkins and Dinosaurs. Also bought delicious pumpkin for fries in this beautiful park!

I had the pleasure of visiting twice - once last April during the floralia exhibition and once last December during the Lightopia exhibition. Both were great, but floralia was breathtaking, I was captivated by the beautiful floral displays that adorned the park, which took approximately 1.30 hours to fully tour. For a quick snack, there is a small kiosk that serves food and snacks and a small greenhouse with comfortable seating. There's also a small playground on-site, while photography enthusiasts and instagram lovers will appreciate the many picturesque spots perfect for capturing memories and photos that make for awesome posts.

This place is great and `must to see ' during FLORALIA exposition. More than one million tulips.... awesome 🌷

And congratulations to the Pelgrims family who preserves its heritage. (Original) Parc magnifique. Pont d'accès au château a été rénové en 2018.

It was a beautiful experience. The castle has a a green statue at the entrance that I call Mr & Mrs, it also has these green statue of different animals that makes the garden interesting. The gardens, the flowers, the valley the hil, the labyrinth l are all amazing. Their is a kids garden and a playground. Flower pots are being sold at the shop situated at the entrance of the castle. They have cafeteria and toilets.

Absolutely amazing place! It's worth every cent! It's a pity it's only open a few weeks. And that the Venetian Masks parade only happens during 1 weekend. You definitely have to see it if you're in Brussels.

They were having and event called the Florália at Groot-Bijgaarden Castle during my visit and the area were covered with a lot of different flowers. It was a sunny day and the place was so beautiful. The castle is nice and the green area around is huge. I've had a wonderful afternoon just walking, appreciating the views and relaxing.

Nice place nd Huge Tulips Garden but the Castle no can get in through , looks like there's someone living there .

We visited the park for the Floralia event and all I can say is that it was truely amazing. There was more than enough parking place and the netrance felt like a small market place. The flowers themselves were beautiful as well. It's ckean and cared for. There were refreshments available, smoothies that were made on the spot and a gorgeous place by the water to enjoy thel in peace

If you like tulips and lovely grounds, then this is the place to go.

Beautiful flowers at Floralia Brussels. Not crowded at all on a weekday. Peaceful and quiet. If you are coming from Brussels city, take the metro to Simonis or Elizabeth station (they are next to each other), then change to tram 19 OR take bus 355. Bus 355 costed 3 euros, pay cash on board. Tram 19 was included in our 10 journey MoBIB ticket.

Beautiful castle, well preserved must probably know for Floralia Brussels event which takes place every year. That's the way we discovered it....

Wow! If you are lucky with the weather, go to enjoy thousands of tulips and hyacinths! From 6 of April till the 6 of May the have flower festival !

The park was beautiful and not that far from the nearest train station. Three days before the park closed-almost half of the flowers are withered, I guess because it’s kinda late already

Awesome place . Firstly, to get there take metro to simonis. From there take tram 19 which will have last stop as Groot bijgaarden. From that tram station it's 1.5 km walking to actual garden location . Secondly, you buy tickets online as well as on the spot. Thirdly, they will give you map of castle which have directions to cover entire castle which showcases enormous of varieties of tulip,etc. Fourth, Good time to visit is April and May, usually they have lots of shows and flora festivals during this period.If you are planning to visit this is all the info you need , enjoy your trip.

Very nice place. A lot of flowers. Parking(free) on field near entrence. Cost 15e adult. Children from 6yo 5e, under 6yo free.
