Five reasons to bring your little ones along to the Village

Whether preppy, cute, or cool: miniature fashionistas are well-catered for at Maasmechelen Village. Shop Monnalisa, Polo Ralph Lauren Children, Karl Lagerfeld Kids, Zadig & Voltaire, Kids Around and many more childrenswear brands. Plus: top off the look with a Kipling backpack that will make them the star of the classroom.

No need to worry about fussy eaters at Maasmechelen Village. The four restaurants in the Village have designed special kids’ menus for your mini -fashion lover, all so you can enjoy a wonderful time out with the entire family. Take your pick from a range of family-friendly options at Giuliano, Ellis, Le Petit Belge and Le Pain Quotidien. Bon appétit!

When your little ones get tired of shopping, they’ll love exploring the Village’s open-air play area. While you enjoy a cup of coffee from nearby Giuliano or a take-away bite to eat, they can test the seesaw and climbing tower and play to their heart’s content.

We’ve thought of everything for new mums: the luxurious, quiet and clean restroom areas throughout the Village offer spacious baby changing stations and breastfeeding spaces where you can take care of your baby in the peace and quiet of a private room.

Take the scenic route home and soak up the peace and quiet at Terhills, a nature reserve with some of the region’s most breath-taking views. Or explore Bokrijk, an open-air museum that offers a glimpse of sixteenth-century life in rural Belgium. The perfect stop for all ages!
