Fall indoor activities for the entire family

The C-mine mining site in Genk is only a 20-minute drive from Maasmechelen Village. Pick a cosy indoor activity like watching a film in the old mine building, or descend into the mines like a real miner and embark on the C-mine Expedition. Fun for the entire family!

To fuel up after your underground adventure, stop by Bistro Bels. Here, you can enjoy typical Belgian gastronomy while looking over the historic mining shafts. More into international cuisine? Then head to the famous Vennestraat and discover numerous Italian, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, … restaurants and delis.

Be-MINE

Limburg has more than one exciting mining experience on offer. One of the best-preserved mining sites in Europe lies in Beringen, at just half an hour from Maasmechelen Village. be-MINE offers the full mining experience and adds in a bit of adventure with unique indoor activities:

• The Mining Museum: Embark on a journey through the old mine buildings dressed as a miner.

Did all those adventures make you hungry? Fuel up at the cosy on-site TODI Brasserie or indulge in some culinary delights at Mia Mensa, the famous be-MINE restaurant that offers local cuisine with an international twist.

Saraland

If you thought Plopsaland was the merriest place around, think again! Saraland in Limburg offers a unique indoor activity: the largest indoor miniature golf course in Europe! As a cherry on top, this particular course is completely mine-themed: get adventurous, descend into the depths and go treasure hunting in the mines. Who knows: you might just strike gold. Are you up to the challenge?

Even the toughest of treasure hunters need a snack sometimes. Fortunately, Saraland offers plenty of dining options. Family restaurant De Taverne welcomes you for a tasty dish or a quick snack. And just five minutes away, you’ll find the Ter Dolen castle brewery, where you can indulge in that well-deserved abbey beer.

Take your mining experience to the next level and combine your indoor activities with a wonderful stay at Terhills Hotel. The old main building of the Eisden mine has been given a second lease of life as a luxury hotel – giving you the opportunity to really indulge in Limburg’s rich mining history. Plus: a stay at Terhills Hotel also means you’re spending the night within walking distance of Maasmechelen Village. Need we say more?

Rain or shine: you’ll always find the right look a Maasmechelen Village. Get yourself a new (autumn) look at outdoor brand family boutiques such as Timberland and The North Face, or get your children autumn-proof at Kids Around, Polo Ralph Lauren Children and Tommy Hilfiger Kids.
