Here, they are provided with lots of opportunities: sightseeing (the Fortified position of Namur, Saint Loup Church, the Episcopal Museum), active leisure activities (visiting entertainment centers), walking in parks located in the city.

An interesting amusement park for kids is Reine Fabiola where time flies like an arrow. Kids of any age will surely appreciate the place.

Nearby is Parc Astrid, one of the most beautiful parks in town. Walking through it is a pure pleasure. The park is small and very spacious, it has a beautiful pond with ducks - this is what attracts small tourists most of all. They can also enjoy a children's playground with lots of interesting entertainment. The park is beautifully illuminated in the evening, giving some romance to regular walks.

Together with children, it'd also be interesting to visit Bowling & Squash de Namur where, as the name implies, such games as bowling and squash are available. There is something to do in the city for fans of DnD games - they should head to Aux 3D Namur - Board Game Cafe.

Small children aged from 2 to 6 years old will be happy to discover Pirouette Entertainment Center. Such entertainments as “swimming in the balls”, trampolining, climbing are available for them in one place. This is also a great place to celebrate a child's birthday.

There is a playground, a pond, and benches on site.

The city has several interesting museums for kids. First of all, this is the Computer Museum NAM-IP, which tells the history of computers, which happens not like at a lecture but with explanations of complex things through simple comparisons. It is here that many children get enthusiastic about becoming programmers in the future and let the computer world into their hearts. Another museum is called MusAfrica with its amazing collection of butterflies. Some butterflies are unique and can be seen only once among the museum exhibits. Among other exhibits are works of African art, weapons, masks.

Learn Belgian cooking attending Les Secrets du Chef classes in Namur. Here you can also taste the final result - which children will certainly love. It'd also be a good idea to show them a couple of places where they serve delicious desserts. For example, this is La Maison des Desserts where you can try excellent pastries, Les Cup'inn cafe with its fantastic cupcakes, as well as Fleur de Lait Cafe serving unsurpassed ice cream. One more great place is Brasserie le 500 where they bake wonderful pastries, cookies, and cakes.
