Behind the wheel

Head to Route38 in Heers for an unmissable family road trip. Pass by the various fruit orchards and stop off for a picknick at a picturesque spot of your choice. And if the children fancy a ride too, visit Karting Genk for the ultimate karting experience.

On foot

To truly immerse yourself in nature, head to Blotevoetenpad in Zutendaal for a barefoot walk in the great outdoors. And, if you’re in need of a cool-down activity afterwards, discover these aqua-based adventures.

Refuel after a day of adventure at one of the Village’s gastronomic hotspots. Choose from Italian or Belgian cuisine at Giuliano, ELLIS, Le Petit Belge and Le Pain Quotidien. Or, for an authentic American dining experience, head to The Filling Station in Lanaken where you’ll sample signature American dishes in a traditional diner atmosphere.

Round off your family holiday in style with a day of shopping at Maasmechelen Village. Shop back-to-school outfits for little ones at IKKS, Kipling, Polo Ralph Lauren, River Woods and Tommy Hilfiger. Or, visit dedicated children’s boutiques Noukie's and Kids Around – home to brands DKNY, BOSS, KARL LAGERFELD, Timberland, Zadig & Voltaire and more.
