    Scientastic

    Posted by Chris Elliott 28 September 2007

    Surprisingly, the centre of Brussels has probably the best interactive playground/museum to indulge your inner child or just the kids.

    Scentastic is located underground at the Bourse metro/tram stop, and is just a couple of minutes walk from the Grand Place.

    Once you’ve found the understated entrance (difficult, even if you know it’s there) you enter what looks like a large romper room/playground, all primary colours and play equipment.

    Scientastic will then amaze and educate through its use of simple psychological, physiological perception experiments.

    Virtually everything is hands on and a simple explanation leaflet can explain some of the impossible thing you encounter.

    Try to arrive just as they open as usually a multi-lingual member of staff will perform a series of moves in front of a mirror.

    Then go and play and explore at your leisure, it can and should take at least a couple of hours, adults will at least be surprised and kids just love it.
