10,000 years of prehistory is right here for you to explore in a cave adventure. See a light show in the heart of the earth.
One of the top tourist spots of Wallonia! Most Belgian kids will remember going here on a school field trip at one point so that’s how you know it’s popular. Uncover the past in a cave exploration. Capture photos of nature in its depths. Follow the steps even further down to see the light show Origin that takes you back to the very beginning of the planet.
When booking your tickets, you’ve got the choice of a Journey or Discovery to make your way into the caves. Both take you to the main highlights of the cave and Origin light show, but Journey is a more in-depth option for those who want to explore all of the caves.
Light show
Delve into the depths of the caves for a beautiful light show. Lights and sounds are projected on the cave ceilings and walls, so history literally echoes through its chambers. The ancient caves make for a super unique canvas of lights in this 360 show. The designer, Luc Petit, has also done shows for Disney so you know you’re gonna see something cool.
