Lots of visitors for TEDDY & BEAR: be prepared and avoid the queue!
For safety reasons and for the comfort of the visitors, access to the exhibition TEDDY & BEAR is limited. During weekends and school holidays the afternoon block is usually quickly overbooked. Therefore, we suggest you to come in the morning or to come and buy your ticket in advance at the ticket desk (mention day and preferred time of visit - not possible for the free first Wednesday of the month from 13.00).
For groups (+15 individuals) reservation is obligatory, even if it's not a guided tour. You can book your visit via reservations@naturalsciences.be or +32 (0)2 627 42 52 (on a weekday from 9.00 to 12.00 and from 13.00 to 16.30).
