Information

Enjoy the Aquascope experience: explore, observe, ...
The gateway to the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park, the Aquascope invites you to enjoy a unique experience in the heart of nature. Immerse yourself in a place where every corner tells a fascinating story: explore our cabinet of curiosities, admire the biodiversity of the pond from the watchtower, observe the birds in our covered observatories and discover the fascinating world of bees in our educational apiary.

For young and old alike, our captivating film and our St. John's Wort Garden offer surprises and discoveries at every turn. And after all this exploring, relax on our panoramic terrace and enjoy a home-cooked meal at the Aquascope Canteen, featuring local and fair trade products. Children won't be forgotten: our large playground allows them to have fun and let off steam in complete safety.
