Meise Botanic Garden

Meise Botanic Garden is the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, located in the grounds of Bouchout Castle in Meise, Flemish Brabant. Covering 92 hectares, it is one of the largest botanical gardens in the world and is home to more than 18,000 plant species. From the historic castle park to the tropical greenhouses, from the Culinary Garden to the WOOD lab, the Botanic Garden offers a fascinating journey of discovery through the plant kingdom for visitors of all ages.

Wheelchair accessibility is very good. Most paths are surfaced with dolomite or clinkers. Along the cobbled Stately Avenue, a comfort strip has been laid out for wheelchair users and pushchairs. Wheelchairs are available free of charge at the entrance. Additionally, a buggy circulates through the domain and can also transport wheelchairs. The WOOD lab has a lift, and the Culinary Garden features wheelchair ramps, raised planters and an adapted outdoor kitchen for workshops.

Wheelchair-accessible toilets with changing tables can be found at several points throughout the Botanic Garden. Parking spaces are reserved near the entrance for visitors with a disability card. Companions of people with disabilities receive free admission. Assistance dogs are welcome everywhere, both on the grounds and in the buildings. The ground floor of Bouchout Castle is accessible by wheelchair; the upper floors are not.
