Don't fret, we can keep you occupied, even if the weather turns against you. There are always the museums to visit, or an escape room to book! Or if splashing around in water is your thing, Ypres has its own paradise, in the form of Bellewaerde Aqua. Meanwhile, there are lots of amazing sights to discover at AstroLAB Iris ... but it none of these appeal, then we can suggest the following:
This unique brewery was founded in 2013, within the ramparts which edge the southern part of Ypres. The remarkable, historic 'Wooden Horse Barracks' by the Lille Gate, were converted into an authentic brewery, where Wipers Times and Grotten Santé are among several beers to be brewed. If you're curious to learn more about the site, the story of how the brewery came into being and the brewing process, then you will be made most welcome at one of the tours.
The brewery is open every Saturday afternoon from 3pm to 5 pm. For € 12pp (€ 4 per child), you can visit every part of the brewery and taste three of the beers.
