Amazing !
A two-hour walk, that is both entertaining and educational,
to learn about 28 member states of the European Union
and the historical, architectural and cultural wealth
of Europe.
 Spectacular !
Be amazed. Imagine a park planted with trees at the gates of Brussels where all
the wonders of Europe are exhibited in miniature versions between bonsai trees, flowery
groves and dwarf trees. Hundreds of monuments meticulously reproduced in the finest
detail to a scale of 1:25, thousands of figurines and live action models that look like the
real thing!
 Fun!
A trip full of surprises.

An unrivalled
experience to
add to your
memory!

4
Prepare to be
surprised by lots
of live action!
Destroy a section of the Berlin wall, set off the eruption
of Vesuvius, launch an attack of legionnaires or scare
the Vikings. Depending on what you fancy, from the
Bells of Stockholm to the Windmills at Kinderdijk, take
the controls of the many opportunities for interactive
live action that stud the route and (re)discover Europe
as you’ve never seen it before!
5
 Fascinating Have fun learning!

Behind the captivating universe of the miniature monu-

ments, the dramatisation and live action, relive our
surprising common history with its values and heritage!
From the origins of democracy to the enterprise spirit,
from our Greek, Roman or Viking heritage to the political
transformations of the 21st century, you will find commen-
tary at every stage of the journey in the free catalogue
that is teeming with information and anecdotes that will
delight children, those with a sense of curiosity and those
passionate about history(*).

6 (*) The Mini-Europe park is under the patronage of the European Union..
 Did you know?
Unrivalled quality of artistry !
The Park exhibits more than 350 monuments that are
selected for their architectural quality or their European
symbolism, and are reproduced to the finest detail. The
Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela alone involved
24,000 hours of work. Many statues of the Grand-Place of
Brussels are painted with real gold leaf. In the Seville arena,
6,000 figurines were arranged, one at a time, to attend the
bullfight. Big Ben is 4 metres tall. At 13 metres, the Eiffel
Tower is taller than a 3-storey building. Yet, all the buildings
are on a scale of 1:25.

Tailor made !
An optional personalised guided tour. You can book a
personalised visit with a professional guide, who will tailor
the approach of the visit and the commentary according to
your interests or those of your children. Booking required.

Indoor space. Located at the end of the Park visit,

‘Spirit of Europe’ welcomes you into a large covered
space where live action models, games and quizzes
will give you the chance to test, enrich or perfect your
knowledge of the 28 member states of the European
Union.
