Destination 100% nature at the Virelles Aquascope, by the most beautiful lake in Wallonia!

A Nature Center and discovery trail located in one of our most beautiful nature reserves, on the shores of the Virelles pond 

2025 will be full of new features!

Start your visit with a cabinet of curiosities... for a 500-year journey into the past of 'Lake Virelles'! Unusual objects and documents, old photos and postcards, old books, tools... and even a 4-meter wooden sailboat! The objects and visuals speak for themselves and spark curiosity!

Continue your visit with the WWF WOLF EXPO. It introduces you to the animal, its characteristics, behavior, and the usefulness of wolves in our ecosystems, but also the threats to this species. What if we could live together and perfectly coexist with this new super-predator? An exhibition to discover with the whole family!

On the big screen, you can then follow the life of the pond throughout the seasons.

Ready for the walk? It's time to see the pond up close: underwater, by the water's edge, and even from the treetops! Discovery trail, observation hides, wild plant garden, educational apiary... There's so much to explore while having fun! Several pairs of white storks return each spring to nest by the pond... An exciting spectacle to follow until the start of summer vacation!

During weekends and school holidays, nature guides will share all their secrets about the pond, birds, small pond creatures, or wild plants.

Aquascope Virelles also offers multiple activities throughout the year: guided tours for all audiences, educational activities, blue classes, adult training, exhibitions, animations and events, corporate meetings, unique waterside accommodations...

Let's not forget about relaxation!

Large playground, canteen with panoramic terrace... Everything is there to spend a day 'in nature' with family, in groups, with colleagues, or with your class!
