★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely amazing place where history was made. We had a 6 hour tour which seemed like 1 hour. The guide was very good and knew the history. The fort is pretty much like it was left after the german attack. Still can't believe what the germans pulled off with 63 men against the premiere fortress in the world at that time and 640 soldiers. Be sure to call ahead and arrange for the guide. This is a must see for any military historian.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I been coming here since 2000, and seeing the changes throughout the years, the Fort is alive with there events and local scheduled tours. It’s a must see and do if your into history, you still can feel the war vibe during peaceful time. Behind the fort on the Prince Albert canal, peaceful and beautiful watch out for the falling rocks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely worth a visit! Interesting expo inside of the fort/old military base. You can walk through the underground base and discover the different rooms and their occupations.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting example of outdated ww1 defensive strategies at the start of WW2 .Impressive underground fortress which required special attention of the German high command , as it stood in the way for the invasion of Belgium . With the help of new types of explosives and use of glider planes , the Germans made the garrison surrender without much casualties .Well preserved and good representation of how life in this underground complex was organized .Original German glider plane to be seen ( only one left in the world ) .Bring boots as the surroundings are muddy ( Dec.) .
