AT THE AQUASCOPE, AN EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE !

Venture into a unique experience at the Aquascope in Virelles, gateway to the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park, for an unforgettable journey from the depths to the surface of the pond. The museum will immerse you in the heart of the pond as you explore the aquariums that are home to various aquatic species, the different ‘outfits’ of the dragonfly, the life cycle of the eel, and more. The film will allow you to follow the evolution of life in the pond throughout the seasons.

Then set off to explore the pond and its surroundings: underwater, at the water's edge, and from a tree-top observation point. Along the way, don't miss the opportunity to admire the birds in the various covered observatories, the bees (from the educational apiary), or to take a detour to the Jardin de Millepertuis, an ethnobotanical garden dedicated to the uses of plants. You will also discover how you can contribute to the protection of nature and the environment.

Finally, relax on the terrace offering a panoramic view of the pond and the playground. La Cantine de l'Aquascope offers a variety of dishes prepared with local and fair trade products to enhance your day in this beautiful natural setting.
