Parking for free in front of the compound, starting with restaurant and front office, meeting very kind English speaking staff, using wc and go! after entrance you can borrow bows, arrows and helmets and do several activities, continue in the forest by bare feets, meet some and spend some time in the restaurant and it's playground, I though we can do it for 2 to 3 hours but finally we spent there almost 6 hours! It was incredible day for whole family, I highly recommend this place La nature The prehistory is not your average museum! The main building won't blow you away, though interesting. It is the total site that will get you excited. Be sure to reserve for the workshops. The bare-foot path is also a must-do. And definitely make time for some practice with spear or bow. Children should go for a spear: children bow is a toy and regular bow needs a bit of strength. The parking lot is limited, though just sufficient if you include the surrounding roads. Quelle merveilleuse découverte! C'est un musée en plein ait extraordinaire. Plusieurs activités possibles : chasse, grotte, ateliers, ferme... un beau lieu d'apprentissage et d'amusement. Ce lieu a plu à ma fille de 3 ans et demi et à mon garçon de 2 ans. Pour les parents en poussette chariot, c'est sportif! Ps: merci au personnel absolument génial et souriant qui nous ont aidés et informés avec une grande gentillesse. Very interesting museum. You can learn how to light fire, to make small plaster and .... to hunt wild animals. Yes, you can target fake with a real bow and arches or using a spear! The children will enjoy it for sure. You will learn basic things from this period and have fun too. Goed gedocumenteerd museum, met name Bandkeramiek. Fraai model van een volledige LBK nederzetting (Darion). Loved it! Bow shooting and cave were awesome Good place to visit with family It's a great for the whole family. We had a really good time and enjoyed it. Highly recommend! Nous avions déjà visité les collections permanentes lesquelles représentent les sites en général mais aujourd'hui nous avons trouvé une exposition temporaire très mignonne sur le mammouth! I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Préhisto near Liège today with my 4-year-old daughter, and I can honestly say it was one of the most welcoming and enriching experiences we've had. As an Australian who doesn’t speak French, I was a little unsure of how the visit would go, but the incredible made sure that language was never a barrier. From the very first interaction, Nicole was wonderfully kind and helpful—both on the phone and at entry, making us feel at ease straight away. Justine guided us through making necklaces with such enthusiasm, turning the experience into something truly special. In the clay and caves activity, Isobella impressed us with her patience and warmth—her English was much better than she gave herself credit for! And the blonde lady leading the fire-making session was nothing short of phenomenal. Despite juggling both a large scout group and us, she seamlessly switched between French and English, ensuring everyone felt included and engaged. Beyond the outstanding hospitality, the itself is breathtaking. The setting is beautiful, the history is fascinating, and what stands out most is how much the genuinely love what they do. Their passion is infectious, making every activity feel immersive and memorable. We spent a full **four hours** exploring, yet still didn’t get to experience everything—including the barefoot path and farm, which my daughter eagerly mentioned on the way home. Needless to say, we will absolutely be back! If you’re considering a visit—whether you speak French or not—don’t hesitate. This is an absolute gem, and its are a true credit to the experience. Een heel leuk openluchtmuseum. Het is groot en uitgestrekt. De activiteiten zijn erg divers en leuk voor kinderen. En iedereen, tot de jobstudenten toe, sprak Nederlands, een enorme troef naar kinderen toe! Great outdoor activities.. demostration of fire making was really top. Very nice lady gave us some extra info. The boys enjoyed the 'hunting' with arc or javelin very much.. Perfect mix between musea and hands on. We went with our 4 kids, they loved it. Very friendly staff. Need 2 days to do it all, so we are already planning a trip back. How you can bring such a difficult topic so close and interactive.. a true gem everyone should do. There are so many to do for kids. But other than that, the part was a little weak. The was generally friendly and helpful. Since we did not speak French, they tried to help us by speaking English in the activities. Très bel endroit. La vie des chasseurs cueilleurs puis des agriculteurs éleveurs... Plusieurs ateliers. Nous avons testé le feu. Allumage avec pyrite et silex. Très bonnes explications et très pédagogue. Expo permanente tres bien achalandée . Prévoir la journée pour escape game, la chasse et la grotte. Decided to go on a whim as we had some free time, thinking we would spend an hour here then head to town for lunch. We ended up staying close to 6 hours as our thoroughly enjoyed the engaging and immersive exhibits, especially the cave walk and barefoot trail. The restaurant terrace overlooks a large open air playground that was a nice setting for lunch. Enough to do to spend an entire day. Also good for with (e.g. bow shooting) and workshops (e.g. pottery workshop). Decided to go on a whim as we had some free time, thinking we would spend an hour here then head to town for lunch.

The restaurant terrace overlooks a large open air playground that was a nice setting for lunch. This place is really excellent. Wasn't sure what to expect but every activity we did the whole family loved. Lighting a fire, learning to use a bow etc. Simply brilliant. Highly recommended as there really is something for everyone. The only thing i had experience with was the restaurant where the wasn't friendly. The rest of the was great and very helpful. Walking in open air through thematic Parc with lots of information about cultivation of early grains with mini-fields. You can rent a tir 'a l'arc to hunt the model animals. They don't move anymore those because they are from stone age and after all those arrows in their mousse belly every day again, they decided to become sort of model animals, something like : shoot me, that's why I am here. Still impressive, together with those huge replica huts and pulling transport systems for huge stones. You can easily visit this several times in a year. They have temporal exhibitions and a great naturally designed cafetaria. Goes best with folding bicycle from nearby train station Engis. Occasionally Google maps shows from bus station Flemalle, which is fine if you are walking. We had a really great day here. The are excellent, engaging and educational, there was more than we could do in a day. The setting is amazing, especially the cave, and so well set up, and the were so helpful and friendly. My 3 and 4 year olds particularly loved making pottery and spear throwing. There was plenty for older children too and all the information was written in four languages, including English. Mooi en interessant met veel mogelijkheden voor families met kinderen.
