Warm up your vocal cords and muscles because the sound game is a walk in Ghent's historical city centre for active families!

Available from Saturday 2 April 2022!

Museum of everyday life

Discover together with your kids how much everyday life has changed. How did people live in the past? And how do we live now? The interactive challenges make the museum visit especially enjoyable for young and old. Dress up in your Sunday best, flick through old photo albums, take a break in the crafts or reading corner, do a silly orange dance or take a photo together in the Photomatique.
