Aquascope

Aquascope Virelles is a nature and visitor centre beside the Virelles pond’s natural and ornithological reserve in Wallonia, Belgium. Combining tourism, environmental preservation and education, it welcomes families, individual visitors, schools, groups and nature enthusiasts to discover the area’s rich habitats and wildlife. The site is a major birdwatching destination and serves as a gateway to the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park.

Visitors can explore the reserve, join guided walks and take part in birdwatching outings, nature activities and seasonal events. Aquascope also offers school programmes, children’s activities, naturalist and ethnobotanical courses, and training for educators. Special experiences include a quiet sunrise excursion on the pond by Rabaska boat and an outdoor adventure focused on the reeds. For overnight stays, guests can book unusual accommodation, including a treetop cabin by the water. The centre also provides facilities for team-building and other group events, alongside visitor information, a shop, food and drink options, and a wildlife rehabilitation centre.
