The Abbey Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

Although it has lost its dome in the meantime, the abbey tower has been the undisputed ruler of the domain since the 17th century. With its 54 m height, it overlooks the near and far surroundings (Mountains, Zinnik, even to Tournai in clear weather).

Pairi Daiza Zoo

Highlight • Structure

Not only the most beautiful in Belgium. Several times already proclaimed as the most beautiful in Europe.
If you want to spot giant pandas, you don't have to travel far anymore. The Pairi Daiza zoo in Belgium (Cambron-Casteau) is one of the nicest zoos in Europe. It once started as a bird garden, but now it is a real animal park with all the trimmings. Pairi Daiza is also not your average zoo and is built around the ruins of a former abbey. Animal enclosures are very spacious here. The absolute attraction are of course the giant pandas, who live here for a period of 15 years.

Tea House

Highlight • Cafe

There's nothing like a nice cup of tea after a long walk in The Enchanted Kingdom of Animals. In the 'Maison de Thé', located in the heart of The Middle Kingdom, you will find teas from all over the world. To enjoy on the spot or to take away.
⛩️ Did you know that the 'Maison de Thé' was built entirely of wood by Chinese craftsmen. It is also a faithful reproduction of the oldest teahouse in Shanghai.

June 30, 2023,Brugelette : Pairi Daiza

Pairi Daiza, programmed for a long time and finally got there. Worth it for both the design and the beautiful animal and plant park. It is preferable to go out a day before and perhaps your own sandwich or drinks in the backpack are not an unnecessary luxury because they are expensive in the park.
The distance is exaggerated because …

Today Isis, our birthday boy Jet 👸🏻 jumped out of bed with a smile 😄 up to her ears 👂 🛌 We all went to celebrate her birthday in Pairi Daiza. 🥳 The orangutans 🦧 even started swaying along. A dromedary 🐪 was snoozing on its side and we walked neatly in a row on a suspension bridge in the …

This WE the grandson was visiting. This led to a visit to Pairi Daiza. This "most beautiful zoo in Europe" has already been beautifully portrayed by @ Viviane. But it was still an excellent moment to let the camera loose. Until the battery had to be replaced and I noticed that I had an empty spare battery with me. The …

How snow is melting. Having a year card is useful and it is the most beautiful in the Benelux and largest too. We have been going there for over 33 years. Health is not yet okay.

November 10, 2021,Pairi Daiza Tierpark (Dauer ca. 6 Std)

During our vacation in Belgium, we visited the Pairi Daiza animal park in Brugelette.
This is considered to be one or perhaps the most beautiful zoo in Europe. And I have to fully agree with this statement! It was absolutely great!
