Family trip to Kortrijk with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Arriving in Kortrijk with children, it should be borne in mind that entertainment in the city is mainly aimed at those wishing to spend time quietly. There is a small chance to meet loudly celebrating tourists or find places organizing noisy parties here. However, this place is almost perfect to gain peace of mind. The city has quite a lot of attractions - cultural, religious, historical and architectural ones. Beautiful parks serve as the green lungs of the city. When it comes to active family pastime in Kortrijk, you can try cruises or helicopter flights.

Together with kids, it will be interesting to visit such a complex as Magdalena Zwembad. Not only pools but also water rides are available here so each family member will certainly enjoy the time spent here. A swimming pool can be found in Magdalenapark. Here you can have a good time enjoying leisurely walking or picnicking - of course, all family members participate. Even though there are no playgrounds on the territory, kids will still like spending fun time with their families. While adults will be able to sit on a bench and feel the serenity emanated from this place, small citizens can socialize and play with other children.

Queen Astrid Park (or simply Astridpark) is another great place for family fun. The park is very neat and well maintained, with many benches, fountains, sculptures. Here visitors can find a lake with wonderful ducks - and they, in turn, can be fed by the smallest tourists. It is also worth noting that here kids will be able to play on a playground. Nearby is the Texture Museum over Leie en Vlas, which is also worthy of a visit when traveling with kids. Here, young travelers will be told about the production of flax and the linen industry as a whole - this is exactly what Kortrijk is famous for. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Small citizens are happy to visit Worldkarts where, as the name suggests, they can try karting for the first time.
