Unique combination of an amusement park and a wildlife park, and firmly rooted in the region, the belgian park continues to implement its investment strategy initiated a few years ago to boost its offering and renew the visitor experience. Setting the standard in Belgium, but also among isitors from Northern France, who account for more than one-third of visitors, Bellewaerde will rely on future infrastructure investments to secure its reputation as a family attraction park.

The only hybrid park in Belgium, Bellewaerde boasts not only some thirty attractions (including Dawson Duel, the first duelling Alpine coaster in Europe in 2017), but also 300 animals of 36 different species. In 2020, the park launches Wakala, the new coaster of its Canada zone.
With its aquatic second gate, Bellewaerde Aquapark, Belgium becomes the second-largest Compagnie des Alpes region in terms of site numbers.

Recognised as a zoo by the Belgian Federal Public Service for Public Health, and a partner of EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and WWF, it plays an active role in protecting and reintroducing endangered species like the Amur leopard, the European bison and the Rothschild giraffe.
This year, bisons and giraffes were born in the zoo, and a fourth bison has been reintroduced into a natural environment, in collaboration with EAZA and WWF.

One of the region’s largest employers, Bellewaerde places employment, training and employee commitment at the heart of its HR policy. As such, it has held the title of “Belgian park with the best personnel” for four years (Diamond ThemePark Awards).
