Plopsaland is an amusement and theme park that makes for one fun afternoon. The rides are based around different television shows for children. The park was recreated in 2000 with the new theme, but before then, it was bee themed. Water rides, roller coasters, swings, and more, this theme park is one heck of a day!

A wonderful experience, Museum Paul Delvaux shares the painter’s pieces with the people of the world. Paul Delvaux was a Belgium painter known for his pieces of nude females on some sort of landscape. Most people were painting only landscapes at the time, not believing the importance of painting other things. He had painted around 80 pieces just between the years of 1925 and 1930 to show the public that people can be painted with the landscapes to create a different effect.
Then, after visits to different museums around the world, he started using different methods and out came more work from the painter. This museum is full of his artworks, and although Delvaux passed away in 1994, he continues to live on through his paintings as other artists have done before him.

3. Ten Duinen Abbey
Also known as the Abbey of the Dunes, this abbey was originally built in 1262 by the bishops of Thérouanne and Tournai. What is left of the church is now a museum site as it has been ransacked multiple times since its construction. Walking around the abbey will give visitors a feeling of what it was like to live during those time periods. Although visitors of the abbey cannot see the whole thing as it once stood, it’s still pretty cool to see what remains of the building that was built so long ago.

4. Pier Kloeffe
Posted by Pier Kloeffe on Saturday, 28 January 2012
Pier Kloeffe is exactly what it sounds like, a pier. It has some really pretty sand dunes to look at and there are great restaurants around the area if travelers are in a hungry state. There is also a really cool fisherman statue on one of the dunes. The statue is actually named Pier Kloeffe, who was a fisherman that after the first World War, decided to stay closer to home. From them on, he was always down at the dunes in fisherman’s gear trying to catch his weight in fish. It’s a nice little outing if people have the time to visit.

Super Splash is a specific ride that resides in the Plopsaland theme park. It’s a huge water ride that kids and adults alike will absolutely love. Guests sit in a boatlike roller coaster and slide down the tracks towards the water. Now for those who don’t love to get really soaked, you’ll be happy to know that it’s just a bit of a splash in the middle of the ride. There is a bridge above where the splash reaches though, where other guests like to stand to truly get wet. It’s a fun ride although the excitement only lasts for about five seconds once the boat actually goes down to hit the water. Be sure to check it out at Plopsaland.
