The Children's Museum Reviews | Rating 4.3 out of 5 stars (8 reviews)

The Children's Museum is located in Ixelles, Belgium on Rue du Bourgmestre 15. The Children's Museum is rated 4.3 out of 5 in the category children's museum in Belgium. In this educational environment, you won’t find computers nor video games. Stage settings and scenery, wooden toys, workshops are some examples of the different means the Museum has put in place to help children in the discovery of the world that surrounds them, as well as themselves. Every exhibition aims for a participative and playful approach of its theme in order to stimulate the interaction and dialogue between children and adults. The Museum animators play a crucial role in the dissemination of the educational values that the Children’s Museum wants to highlight. They bring our exhibitions to life, create a climate of trust and enable the children to express themselves. Every exhibition is an exclusive creation of our team and changes every 4 years. During its elaboration, the Museum benefits from the guidance of various external specialists in different educational work fields. The Children’s five senses are constantly stimulated: they touch, look, smell, listen and learn while having fun. Exhibits and activities are designed for children aged 6 to 12 and their caregivers.

A perfect place to take your kid if he/she is more than 3 years old. Everything is in either French or Dutch but that causes no hindrance to the kids. There are kitchens for children and also spaceships to have fun. The best part is that there is no multi-media and kids are free to play and create their own world. There is also a playground outside the main building of the museum and the children can have a lovely time under the sun.

We brought our 4 year old English speaker. He had a ball. There were 2 workshops available that we didn't do but they looked fun, probably better for older kids and French speakers. But no matter, there was lots to see and touch. I particularly liked the culture room. My kid loved hiding in the cupboard in the secret garden room. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Brussels with kids. The area that the museum was in looked cute too. Would have liked to explore it as well.

If you need an indoor destination this is a good option but their practice of charging for each adult as well as the children makes it an expensive destination. Other issues is there is no English language signage or exhibits despite having been recently renovated. Also if you are mobility impaired there is an elevator but when I inquired about using it for grandma the staff advised it was better not to use is and made some comment about it needing a key and getting stuck. I’m not sure if it was a safety or willingness issue. I’d also like to complain about the stereotype bashing used in at least one exhibit. See the photos. “I’m Johnny Cool. I wear a hat all the time and everyday after work I drink beer.” Awe-some. At least it feels universal as the depiction of the Frenchman was as black and white mime shirt with a beret and a “Dastardly Dan” mustache

If you're looking for a joyful place where your child(ren) can have plenty of fun; don't look any further. The Child Museum is a real dream place where kinds can cook, play, jump, scream, run, draw, paint and so much more. Every room has a specific theme and allow the children to discover various hidden elements and almost live a fairytale. One advice, if you want to cook; don't wait and book a space when you arrive!

Interactive environment for all ages. Children can be left to run riot. Has short theatre lessons for some ages. Sells coffee and waffles. Really fun for children.

Interesting museum for children (5-7 y.o.). One aspect missing during the activities is sessions in Dutch.

Nice little museum kids can learn basic things and they can.play inside and outside of the building. Outside they have a big beautiful playground with gardens and goats and a pond. Inside there are many games and nice staff to watch the kids.
