Designed for kids and teenagers but fascinating for those of all ages, one of Belgium’s best science museums has dozens of hands-on activities to entertain and engage. The simulator rides are especially popular. It's 1.8km south of town at junction 10 (Mechelen-Zuid) of the E19 motorway, ideal if you’re driving from Brussels to Antwerp. From Mechelen station take bus 282, which runs every half-hour on weekdays.
