The picturesque city of Bouillon is only around an hour drive from Luxembourg and makes it a great nearby destination to explore.
Here are TravelmatKanner's top suggestions to do with kids in Bouillon:
This is the highlight of the visit! Overlooking the Semois river, this is a castle where history comes alive. You can walk through tunnels and climb the tower for beautiful panoramic views.
The castle also organises thematic events as well as nighttime guided tours with torches and story-telling that everyone will love.
You can find all the details about the castle here.
The Bouillon Animal Park is nested in a beautiful forest and has over 500 species.
The park also has one of the biggest and nicest outdoor playgrounds in the area for children until 12 years old. It makes for a great day out!
All the information on the animal park is here.
"Le Tombeau du Géant" (The Giant's Tomb) is classified as "Exceptional Heritage of Wallonia" and a "natural heritage site of scenic interest."
It is undoubtedly one of the most famous and photographed spots in Belgium, featuring a magnificent loop of the wild Semois River. It is accessible by road and via hiking trails 4 and 5. The views are spectacular and it is definitely worth the visit.
All the information about this magnificent viewpoint is here.
Previously called Archéoscope Godefroid de Bouillon, this is an immersive experience that takes you back to the 11th century in the heart of the Middle Ages, bringing to life the age of the Crusades before your eyes.
Our suggestion would be to do this experience before you visit the Castle so that the visit there makes more sense.

This a 5km trail through the Ardennes forest, where you end up at the Ramonette Viewpoint. This viewpoint sits even higher than the Bouillon castle offering breathtaking views of the region. There is also an arboretum. Remember to take snacks and water!

The Moulin d'Epine footbridge is a suspension bridge that has become a favourite spot for many visitors due to its unique and beautiful location.
