7 Outdoor Activities in Ieper (Ypres) That You Shouldn't Miss
An ancient city in the Flemish province of West Flanders, Ieper (as it’s known in the Flemish tongue) has enjoyed financial and cultural status since the 12th century. Today, visitors can check out remnants of its impressive past, including ramparts that date back to 1385 and an historic moat, which now is a haven for wildlife. Ieper found itself in the middle of World War I and suffered tremendous damage to all of its buildings, but has been both reconstructed in its medieval style and built up with modern structures.

We first visited in 2015 and were so impressed with Bellewaerde that it became our favourite theme park we'd visited to date. A second trip today three years later and we still feel the same way. The park is immaculate, the gardens and scenery are beautiful and it is a joy to walk round. The selection of animals they have alongside the rides always look happy and well looked after. The rides themselves are a unique selection that are not always found easily, such as the vekoma mad house (Houdini house), jungle mission and Huracan. Every ride is such fun and it is clear they are developing the park all the time- since our last visit they have built a new boardwalk across the lake and added a bird of prey display, a new ride Dawson Duel and are also building a water park next door due to open spring 2019. The staff we encountered were always very helpful and friendly. The app for the park is great- hight reccomend a download on busy days! We used it all day to keep track of ride waiting times which are accurate and also to see what we had missed. Even on the public holiday that we visited (may 11th) which was busy it was still totally manageable and we never waited more than half an hour for rides. In UK you would wait up to three hours for rides on busy weekends. They actually reached full capacity on this day and stopped guests from coming in which I think is a great idea for guest safety and comfort (and it still didn't feel crazy busy). Overall- Bellewaerde is a unique, beautiful, underrated park ten minutes drive outside Ieper town centre and you should not miss out!!!! (king lion is the best mascot ever)
