Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After you have visited the Atomium and rushed through crowded spheres and tubes, consider walking back to the city centre through this magnificent park. Good to walk. Benches are available, but some people also sit on the lawn. The Monument of the Dynasty can be visited but not entered. The part close to the Royal Palace is also not accessible to the public. Still a good place to relax and enjoy.

A nice spacious park with a lot of activity going on at the time. Nice weather also helped and allowed me to really enjoy myself and have a good time on the second half of my day.

A park designed for the World’s Fair, it is a quiet place for a run. While it looks very large on the map, the majority of the park is off limits to the public. However, you can run to other parks for a longer run but you will be on the street for some of the time.

A beautiful park very near to the Atomium which is worth passing by since you can easily go by feet there!

A huge grass park to take a walk, but it's difficult to have a grasp of the palace. Good place to take a photo of the Atonium from distance.

Laeken looks big on the map, but it is essentially a large private royal compound. Most of the southern part of the park is the private gardens of the Laeken Palace which is the everyday home of the royal family and closed to the public, although you can see it from a distance. Laeken is worth a visit for a pleasant stroll through the Belgian equivalent of London’s Hyde Park.
Recommend – if you are looking for a pleasant walk, take the tram (Line 2 or 7) to Araucaria. Follow the park around, you can see the Chinese Pavilion (visit if you want to) and follow the high walled back garden of the palace on your left on to Avenue du Parc Royal. You can’t miss the palace. Cross over and walk through the park to the Atomium (visit if you wish). Exit via the fantastic 1930s Art Deco Place de Belgic exhibition centre (visit if you wish) using the metro station at Heysal.
public toilet – if you find yourself wishing you hadn’t had all that Belgian beer at lunch time, there is a toilet on the corner of Avenue des Seringas, beside the playing field and a few 100 yards from the Place Luis Steens roundabout. It is a weird auto

The Laeken is located close to the Atomium and is a nice park to walk through. We walked through it after visiting the Atomium and back towards our hotel. There are a number of gardens to view and it’s a nice place to sit and relax or have a picnic. It is suitable for all ages and with no problems for wheelchairs.

We spent over an hour walking around this peaceful park. It is a great place to go to get away from the Brussels hectic downtown. You can: picnic here, good for kids, play games, etc. My photos show parts of the park & some other sights. If you go to the Atomium, this is right there.
