Brussels / Belgium: Mini-Europe and Océade to be Closed in August 2013

According to an announcement earlier this month, the miniature park Mini-Europe and the waterpark Océade as well as other of Bruparck’s attractions like the cinema Kinépolis or The Village will have to close on August 31, 2013. This decision was made by Brussels’ local authorities, who plan to build a new conference center, a shopping centre, a concert hall and offices in the framework of the redevelopment project called “NEO” on the existing Bruparck site. An online petition against this measure has been launched on www.minieurope-education.org/mobil/index2.htm (eap)
