Winterland Hasselt
A 15,000 m² winter village on Kolonel Dusartplein: Christmas market, covered ice rink, Ferris wheel, Santa's House and après-ski bars.
Adult €11 online / €12 at the desk; child 3–12 €4 / €5; under 3 and Bokrijk subscribers free. Fair rides included. Parking 2: €5.
Among the lanes and historic farmhouses of the open-air museum, characters and storytellers revive the old custom of going round with tales and wishes in the darkest days of the year. A large choir leads musical moments where everyone is invited to sing along. Instead of neon and loud rides there is a carousel, swing ride and Ferris wheel with views over the lit museum, all included in the ticket. Food trucks keep you fed. Tip: buy online (cheaper), park at Parking 2 (€5) and wear sturdy shoes, as everything is outdoors.
