After splashing around at the Aqua Mundo and exploring the forest, it’s time for a more relaxed but equally fun family activity: the mini-golf course right inside Center Parcs Les Ardennes. Whether you’re a golf pro or just looking for a laugh, this is a perfect way to enjoy time together in a friendly, green setting. A Course for All Levels The mini-golf here is designed for one thing: family fun. You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy it. The holes vary in difficulty, with playful obstacles that make the game entertaining for both kids and adults. But the real highlight? The ultraviolet zone!At one point along the course, you’ll step into a glowing world of neon colors. The balls, the course, and even your clothes light up under the UV light — a fun surprise that kids absolutely love and that adds a unique twist to the experience. A Convenient, Relaxed Location The course is located just a short walk from the park’s central Dome, making it easy to access from your cottage or after another activity. Surrounded by greenery, it’s a peaceful spot where you can take a break from the pools and adventure sports, and just enjoy a casual game together. It’s also a great option for cloudy or cooler days when the outdoor activities feel less tempting. 1.5 Hours of Fun for the Whole Family The full game takes about 1.5 hours, which is perfect to enjoy the course without anyone getting bored — even the little ones! Our Final Opinion No, it’s not the biggest or most extreme mini-golf course out there, but it offers exactly what you need for a good time: Whether you’re aiming for a hole-in-one or laughing your way through missed shots, it’s all about sharing a good time and making memories. 💭 Have you ever played mini-golf under UV lights?

🌿 Our Series at Center Parcs Les Ardennes Continues… Today: The Kids Safari!
After testing out the Aqua Mundo and trying the mini-golf, we couldn’t resist checking out one of the activities that always catches the kids’ eyes as you walk by: the Kids Safari. You know, those little electric jeeps that promise adventure… or at least a fun ride around the park! An Exciting Concept for Little Explorers Picture this: a mini 4×4, perfectly sized for young drivers, ready to hit the track. As soon as you arrive, the kids’ eyes light up. The idea of driving « just like mum and dad » is always a hit at that age. The track is set up in a natural area, with fun decorations and even a few animal figures to bring the safari theme to life. For little ones, it’s pure excitement. They hop in, all smiles, ready to conquer the jungle… or at least, the Center Parcs version of it. A Big Plus for Parents: The Remote Control What we really appreciated as parents is the safety aspect. Each vehicle comes with a remote control for the parents. At any time, if your child gets too adventurous, veers off the path, or just presses the pedal a bit too hard — you can stop the car instantly. Honestly, that remote is reassuring. It lets the kids have fun, but you still have control if needed. The Downside: The Track Could Be Bigger Now, let’s be honest… the track itself is pretty short. After just one lap, our little driver already looked a bit bored. And to be fair, we understood. The concept is brilliant, but the space is limited. It would be great to see a larger area, more turns, maybe a few playful obstacles to spice things up. As it is, older kids or those used to driving electric cars at home might quickly lose interest. A Fun Little Activity Between Other Adventures Despite the short track, we can’t deny that the Kids Safari is still a fun activity, especially as a break between bigger activities. After swimming, before dinner, or while the parents grab a coffee — it’s a simple, short experience that works well for younger kids. It’s also a great way for little ones to experience driving in a safe, controlled environment — and feel proud of their little adventure. Our Final Opinion We loved:✔️ The original concept that excites young kids✔️ The safety with the parental remote control✔️ The fun safari theme and decorations We liked less:⛔ The track is too small to keep the kids engaged for long⛔ The experience feels repetitive after one quick lap In short, the Kids Safari at Center Parcs Les Ardennes is a cute, family-friendly activity that adds a bit of variety to your stay. It’s not the main attraction, but for young kids, it brings that little extra dose of fun. 💭 What about your kids — do they love electric vehicles, or do they prefer longer, more adventurous activities? Would you have liked to see a bigger safari track around the park?Tell us in the comments!
3 Days at Center Parcs Les Ardennes – Honest Review & What You Really Need to Know!
When you think of the Belgian Ardennes, you immediately picture vast forests, peaceful walking trails, and a real escape into nature. But this time, we decided to experience it differently… by spending a few days at Center Parcs Les Ardennes. We didn’t just pass through for a quick look — we stayed three full days, giving ourselves time to explore the park properly, test as many activities as possible, and, as always, give you our honest and unfiltered opinion. One thing is clear from the start: nature is everywhere here. The park is set in the heart of the forest, and as soon as you arrive, that feeling of being far from the daily grind kicks in. But of course, we’re not just here to admire the trees — we wanted to see what the park really has to offer. And guess what? There’s no way anyone gets bored here, whether you’re coming as a couple, with family, or with friends. From treetop adventure courses and Laser Battle to the indoor mini-golf, bowling, playgrounds, and sports courts — there’s no shortage of fun for everyone. Even practical things are taken care of. You’ll find a small supermarket on-site, which is really handy for stocking up without leaving the park. And if cooking isn’t on your agenda, there are several restaurants to choose from. We personally tried the Grand Café, a cosy spot to enjoy a relaxed meal after a busy morning exploring. It wouldn’t be a true Center Parcs experience without mentioning the Children’s Farm, a family favourite every time. But, no spoilers — that deserves its own dedicated article, and we’ll share all the details and our full opinion soon. The same goes for the cottage, the Aqua Mundo, and all the little things we tested — stay tuned for that in the next articles of our Center Parcs Les Ardennes series. These three days also gave us the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Ardennes, without sacrificing comfort or entertainment. That’s probably the real strength of this Center Parcs: you keep the nature and the tranquillity, but with activities, shops, and services right at your fingertips. Of course, like in many places, not everything is perfect. Some areas of the park could definitely use a little freshening up. But overall, the stay was pleasant, family-friendly, and a great option for a short getaway. So, is Center Parcs Les Ardennes worth it? In short — yes, especially if you’re looking for a balance between nature, family fun, and convenience. But don’t just take our word for it — keep an eye on our upcoming articles, where we’ll dive deeper into the cottages, Aqua Mundo, Children’s Farm, and all those details that help make or break a holiday. As always, the best opinion is the one you make for yourself — but if you like honest feedback, we’ve got you covered. If you really want to enjoy your stay at Center Parcs Les Ardennes, here are a few tips based on our experience: The best thing you can do is plan ahead, especially for the activities. Download the official Center Parcs app — trust us, it makes your life much easier. You can book everything directly from your phone: activities, shows, bowling lanes, mini-golf… Some time slots fill up quickly, so it’s definitely the smartest way to avoid disappointment. Also, make sure to bring comfortable shoes. Even though everything is accessible, the park is big, and between exploring the forest paths and walking back and forth to Aqua Mundo, you’ll easily rack up some steps without realising it. One last little tip: try to enjoy the pool and the restaurants during off-peak hours if you want to avoid the crowds — early mornings or later in the afternoon are often the best times. With these simple tricks, your stay will be way more relaxed and smooth. 📍 Adresse complète Center Parcs – Domaine Les ArdennesRue de la Grotte 12, 6690 Vielsalm, Belgique 🌐 Site officiel centerparcs.fr/fr-fr/belgique/fp_AR_vacances-domaine-les-ardennes
