To help you plan your getaway, here are a few ideas for an unforgettable day with your children in Durbuy.
Enjoy an adventure at the Durbuy Labyrinth
You cannot talk about family activities in Durbuy without mentioning its famous Labyrinth!
Every summer, a vast cornfield is transformed into a world filled with characters, riddles and challenges. Children and adults make their way along the paths together, watch live shows and take an active part in the adventure.
This year, head into space with the Rider family! After their spaceship crashes in 2525, Ella, Slippy and their companions need your help to return to the stars. Equipped with your special watch, explore the Labyrinth in search of the essential parts needed to repair the ship.
With live shows, surprising encounters and interactive challenges, the whole family is immersed in a true intergalactic mission.
Our tip: wear sturdy shoes and arrive when the site opens so you can make the most of your adventure.
Explore Durbuy’s historic centre
After your adventure, take the time to explore Durbuy’s historic centre with the children. Its narrow cobbled streets, stone houses and picturesque passageways make you feel as though you are walking through a real fairy-tale setting.
Stop for an ice cream, admire the anticline or simply enjoy a family stroll along the Ourthe.
Make the walk more fun by setting the children a small challenge: ask them to spot the oldest house, the narrowest alleyway or their favourite façade.
Meet the amazing figures at the Parc des Topiaires
Located close to the centre, the Parc des Topiaires is another original place to visit with children in Durbuy.
As they stroll through the park, families discover shrubs trimmed into the shapes of animals, characters and objects. Elephants, crocodiles and other plant creations encourage children to look closely at every detail.
This peaceful visit is a lovely way to extend your day while enjoying a beautiful view of Durbuy.
Enjoy nature as a family
Durbuy is surrounded by forests, trails and landscapes that are perfect for getting some fresh air with the children. A walk along the Ourthe or a short stroll in the surrounding area is a relaxing way to end the day.
Choose a route suited to the children’s ages and turn your outing into an observation game: identify trees, listen to birds or look for small tracks left by animals.
