Woke up to another bright day although showers had been forecast. We had breakfast and then set off to Bellewaerde Theme Park which was just a 10 minute drive from the campsite. Motorhomes can park in the coach area.
The park was open from 10am. We arrived about 9.45 and it was already getting quite busy. It costs 30 euros per adult and 7 euros to park your vehicle. Soon the gates opened and the excitement began. This is a lovely theme park which is 60 years old. It has something for everyone. Big thrill seeking rides, water rides, a good section for small children and safari animals. It is themed in areas e.g Wild West, India etc. It was clean and tidy and despite being quite busy, it didn’t feel busy as there was so much to see and do and it was nicely spread out. The longest wait in a queue was 10 mins so there was plenty of time to ride again and again. As it was so early in the season not all the shops and eating areas were open but there was sufficient. We enjoyed Bratwurst and crepes and sampled a very big candyfloss.
The zoo section is great. You get a very good view of the animals. A little safari train takes you through the big cat section where the lions and tigers were sprawled out sunning themselves. There are elephants, giraffes and various primates.
We were so lucky with the weather as it became hotter and sunnier and everyone dried out nicely after getting soaked on some of the rides. We stayed until about 5.30 having had a lovely time.
