Walibi Belgium, Amusement park in Wavre, Belgium
Walibi Belgium is a theme and amusement park in Wavre, Belgium, offering multiple roller coasters, family rides, and entertainment areas within several themed zones. The grounds stretch across a large property outside Brussels, combining high-intensity attractions with gentler options for younger visitors.
The park first opened to visitors on July 26, 1975, and grew through steady expansions over the following decades to become Belgium's largest theme park. By 2017, it was drawing over one million visitors annually, cementing its position as a major leisure destination in the country.
The park's name comes from combining the initials of the original landowners Walter, Aline, and Bibi, creating a connection that reflects Belgian entertainment traditions. Families return season after season, often bringing children who grew up visiting, making it part of the regional leisure culture.
Direct transport links from Brussels reach the park, and seasonal passes allow for multiple visits during operating months from spring through fall. Waiting times tend to be longer on weekends and holidays, while weekdays offer quieter conditions.
The Halloween Fright Nights transform the entire grounds into a collection of haunted attractions, making it Belgium's largest seasonal horror event. During these autumn weeks, the regular themed areas are complemented by sinister characters and scare effects designed specifically for evening hours.
